Things have not gone well for the Red Sox during the first week of the MLB season and the bad vibes continued on Tuesday night as Alex Cora's team was pushed around by the Astros, 9-2. Boston is now 1-4 on the year, which isn't reason to panic but also not ideal in an American League East that promises to be extremely competitive.
The Red Sox entered the bottom of the fifth inning still clinging to hope and down 3-1. But the Astros would tack three runs on in the frame to put things well out of reach. Those came in truly bizarre fashion as everyone involved in the game forgot the count.
