BOSTON — As bad as things have gone for the Red Sox this week, they had a glimmer of hope with their best pitcher this season to date on the mound scheduled to start Sunday to try to end a bad homestand on a positive note.
But when it rains, it pours for these Red Sox.
Shortly before Sunday morning’s first pitch, Michael Wacha – who had won his previous three starts – was scratched and placed on the injured list. Tanner Houck took the ball instead, and the losing continued.
