Will Warren allowed seven hits and five runs with three walks and didn’t strike a batter out across 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday.
This was a rough day at the park for Warren. The Red Sox jumped on him quickly for four runs over the first three innings and it easily could have been more given the quality of contact they were making. When it was all said and done, Warren allowed 10 hard-hit balls and half of those turned into outs. Also, the Red Sox hit four balls at least 400 feet, but only one was a home run due to Fenway Park’s wonky dimensions. Nevertheless, this was the first time all season where Warren failed to strike a batter out and he rarely even got into two-strike counts as the Red Sox swung early and often. It’s worth noting that he has a 4.44 ERA since the beginning of May after an excellent start to the season. He’s scheduled to face the Tigers at home next time out.
