Boston Red SoxvsMiami Marlins
BOS 0/MIA 4
Things to say
The Miami Marlins shut out the Boston Red Sox 4-0 at loanDepot park.
01
opener
Marlins took it 4-0, straight-up shutout. Boston never got anything going. Kind of a quiet getaway-day loss for the Sox.
02
key player
Whoever Miami ran out there dealt — a shutout means the arms were carrying it. Bullpen slammed the door too.
03
hot take
Getting blanked by a sub-.500 club? That's the kind of loss that tells you more about Boston than about Miami.
04
deep cut
Four runs was plenty because the Red Sox couldn't string two hits together — the heart of the order went cold at the worst time.
05
exit
Anyway, Boston's still got the better record, so I want to see how they bounce back next series.
The recap
The Marlins flipped the script on a much better Red Sox club, blanking Boston 4-0 at loanDepot park behind a shutout effort that kept the heart of the order quiet all night. Miami's arms got into their stuff early and never let the visitors square anything up, and four runs was more than enough cushion.
Boston, a 73-60 team walking into a getaway-day matchup with a sub-.500 host, just couldn't scratch a single one across. Sometimes the standings mean nothing and the bats go cold at the worst time.
