During their 2013 World Series Championship run, the Boston Red Sox never had a losing record. After yesterday’s loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, the Red Sox are now 2-4 and 0-3 at Fenway Park.

Yovani Gallardo threw 6.2 scoreless innings and his bullpen did the rest as the Brewers shutout the Red Sox 4-0 to sweep the weekend interleague series.

Jon Lester got the start and took the loss for the Red Sox despite not pitching that badly. His defense let him down and for the second straight game, he got no run support.

Lester allowed four runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk over 7.1 innings. He did strikeout six.

Every Red Sox starter had a hit in the game. Seven of them were singles with Jackie Bradley Jr. and Daniel Nava hitting doubles.

Like the weather in the Back Bay on Saturday night, Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Clay Buchholz was ice cold. Or in the words of Charles Barkley, he was “turrible”.

Buchholz allowed six runs on 13 hits in 4.1 innings of work. The bullpen backed him up and along with the offense made it a game.

Unfortunately, Logan Schafer‘s RBI double in the 11th scored Khris Davis to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 7-6 win over the Red Sox in 11 innings.

Chris Capuano, Brandon Workman, Koji Uehara and Junichi Tazawa combined to scatter four hits and a walk while 13 in 5.2 innings to keep the Red Sox in the game.

Mike Napoli had two hits, including a three-run home run that cut the lead to 6-5. Xander Bogaerts hot streak to start 2014 continued with two more hits.

Edward Mujica‘s home debut for the Boston Red Sox didn’t go as he or the team would have hoped.
