The Boston Red Sox were held to one run in their third straight game after being dominated by a pitcher they reportedly pursued in free agency.
There were no trumpets for New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz on Monday night, but the Boston Red Sox might as well have been playing "Taps."
Every loss at this stage of the season feels like a knife to the abdomen. The Red Sox know they have to get scorching hot to have any prayer at a postseason spot, and it seems like the more they heap pressure on themselves, the more the zeros pile up on the scoreboard. Luis Severino, the longtime New York Yankees hurler who the Red Sox saw in countless big rivalry, flummoxed them in a different New York uniform. He twirled seven brilliant innings against Boston's lefty-heavy lineup, striking out five and allowing six hits.of MassLive, the Red Sox ended up talking with Severino during the righty's free agency, before he ultimately signed a one-year, $13 million deal with the Mets.
But having an arm like Severino wouldn't have helped Boston these last two weeks. When you score more than three runs just twice in an 11-game span, you're going to take a lot of losses. And when offense is supposed to be your calling card, it feels even worse.
