Clay Buchholz was cruising for 7.2 innings...then came a walk, a hit batter and a fly ball to leftfield that Yoenis Cespedes should have caught. Five runs later, Buchholz and the Sox were losing again. Final score 6-2.

Welcome to the 2014 season.

While the pitching unraveled in the 8th, the offense sputtered all night, getting just six hits. The Sox hit into four double plays and went 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position.
