ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
The Red Sox had no answers, especially for former Boston pitcher Michael Wacha.
Wacha, who led Boston’s rotation for the better part of last season, made his first appearance against his former club and dominated. The right-hander kept the Red Sox scoreless after they tackled across 10 runs in the last two games against the Padres, putting San Diego in a picture-perfect position to avoid a sweep after they opened the game by tagging Boston starter Corey Kluber for four runs in the first inning.
The Red Sox lineup recorded seven hits, one for extra bases, and drew three walks while striking out nine times against San Diego pitchers, failing to push across a run. Five Red Sox batters went hitless as Boston went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position, stranding eight runners on the base path.
Boston’s win streak ended at four games.
