"But on the other side of the ball, the Sox were really never able to recover after a rare Trevor Story error in the second allowed the Diamondbacks to score three runs to take an early lead. Even with the help of yet another beautiful play by Ceddanne Rafaela in center field, as he climbed the wall in front of Chase Field's infamous pool to reach over and rob a Corbin Carroll home run, Boston just couldn't find its groove."
"Lucas Giolito once again somehow had an acceptable outing with only two earned runs (four runs total scored due to Story's error), but struggled massively with more traffic on the bases, as has been the trend since the All-Star break. As I've said - and will continue to say - before (and after) every Giolito start, the wheels will fall off the cart eventually, and every time he goes out there, it's anyone's guess if it's bound to happen then."
Boston's offense produced a bleak showing without Roman Anthony, managing only one run while striking out seven times in six innings against Brandon Pfaadt. The team collected a single hit across three innings versus relievers Jake Woodford, Jalen Beeks, and John Curtiss. A Trevor Story error in the second allowed Arizona to score three runs and take an early lead. Ceddanne Rafaela made a spectacular wall-climbing catch to rob a home run, but a later miscommunication with Jarren Durran cost another run. Lucas Giolito allowed two earned runs amid heavy traffic on the bases and posted a WHIP of 2.00.
