Nathan Eovaldi walks.

[LoneStarPhan]

Get an easy out and then go 3-0 on the pitcher. Full count and then the walk.

[kikutaro]

Swinging strike (89.8 mph two-seam fastball)
Hit by pitch (94.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Andrew Benintendi hit by pitch. Nathan Eovaldi to 2nd.

[LoneStarPhan]

Really. 0-2 count and hit him. Two on, one out, as Velasquez digs his own grave.

Need that DP again.

[kikutaro]

Holt

Ball (94.4 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, no out (91.1 mph two-seam fastball)

Brock Holt singles on a soft ground ball to second baseman Cesar Hernandez. Nathan Eovaldi to 3rd. Andrew Benintendi to 2nd.

[LoneStarPhan]

Ball was the pitchers play but Vleasquez fell down as he deflected the ball back to Hernandez.

Another poor play in the field.

Sox load bases pretty much on the efforts of Velasquez alone.

[kikutaro]

Moreland

Mound Visit.
Foul (93.4 mph two-seam fastball)
Ball (84.9 mph slider)
In play, run(s) (93.6 mph two-seam fastball)

Mitch Moreland doubles (18) on a sharp line drive to center fielder Odubel Herrera. Nathan Eovaldi scores. Andrew Benintendi scores. Brock Holt scores.

Boston Red Sox 3 - Philadelphia Phillies 0

[LoneStarPhan]

One ball hit well and the Sox have 3 runs and another RISP.

Velasquez set this up by his lack of command, starting with getting behind the pitcher 3-0.

Very disappointing.

[Patchmk88]

This team is just lost mentally. Mistake after mistake after mistake. Walk the pitcher, hit someone 0-2, can’t field a dribbler, double and our OF can’t cut it off. This game is already over. This team is done.

[kikutaro]

Ball in dirt (86.8 mph slider)
Ball (93.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (94.5 mph four-seam fastball)

[LoneStarPhan]

And another walk as Velasquez continues to had the game away.

[kikutaro]

Ball in dirt (85.3 mph slider)
Ball (91.6 mph two-seam fastball)

[LoneStarPhan]

And another walk as Velasquez continues to had the game away.

Repeat.

Bases loaded.
3 walks
HBP
Misplayed infield single;
One solid hit
adds up to 3 runs in, bases loaded, one out.

Velasquez totally falls apart here in the third inning.

[zambonir]

Sigh. Go get 'em tomorrow.
