Red Sox 6, Astros 2
W – Wright (1-2)
L – McHugh (1-3)
S – Kimbrel (5)
The Astros have lost four in a row.
Let’s get right down to it: it’s Friday night, I don’t really want to write this recap, and you don’t really want to read it. I’m going to boil the game down to just a handful of bullet points:
- McHugh sucked again: 4 IP, 5 ER, 10 hits
- Astro bats lifeless: Stephen Wright had a 2-hit shutout through six
- Sox catcher Ryan Hanigan’s Hank Conger impersonation had as much to do with the Astros’ first run as the Astros did
- Other details could be expanded upon, but they don’t really matter unless you like snuff films
Let’s hope for better fortune in tomorrow’s matinee.
