Mitchell Parker's fielding error allowed the Boston Red Sox to gain a 6-0 lead over the Washington Nationals. The Nationals' struggles continued, culminating in a 10-3 defeat. Parker's frustration became evident as he displayed his distress after the error, but was reminded by Manager Dave Martinez to focus on pitching. The Red Sox capitalized on Parker's lack of command, highlighting difficulties with pitch control, as the team scored seven runs in one inning due to belt-high pitches. Parker acknowledged the challenge of managing emotions in a fast-paced game.
"He was frustrated. He came in and slammed his glove," Manager Dave Martinez said. "But I kept telling him: 'We're going to keep working on it. ... Right now, just focus on your pitching.'"
"It's hard as s--- to slow down," Parker said. "It's a fast game. Just got to take a deep breath and know it's the same game we've been playing our whole lives."
