Game 113: Red Sox vs Astros - Lucas Giolito vs Framber Valdez
Briefly

Patriot's Day baseball feels odd being played in August. Despite initial concerns, Cooper Criswell performed well enough to keep the Red Sox competitive. Walker Buehler's performance was disappointing, but the bullpen excelled, contributing to an offense that hit three home runs. As a result, the Red Sox are in second place in the AL East, prompting excitement about their potential to extend this lead in the upcoming game.
This feels REALLY early for baseball, doesn't it? We do this once a year on Patriot's Day but to do it in August? It just feels strange.
I wasn't happy with Walker Buehler yesterday but the bullpen came in clutch and the offense launched three homers.
With that, the Red Sox are SECOND PLACE in the AL East. Let that sink in. Can they extend that lead this morning?
