"The Red Sox didn't just get shutout tonight. They were held to a mere two hits over 6.1 innings against Luis Gil, who entered the game with a 7.00 ERA and has stuff so underwhelming, even this lineup walked more times (three) than they struck out (twice)."
"Accompanying this latest listless performance was an 0-7 effort with runners in scoring position, which now leaves Boston with a .159 batting average with runners in scoring position on this homestand."
"During this stretch, they're more likely to score two runs or less in the game (seven times) than they are to hit a home run at any point in the game (five times)."
"The at bats were so terrible and widespread in this one, it's not even worth dissecting any key moments because there weren't any that stood out."
