After taking two-of-three from the Minnesota Twins, the Red Sox continued their six-game road trip with their first of three against the Milwaukee Brewers. What looked like a promising start to the game quickly evaporated into a 5-1 deficit after just one inning.

The Red Sox made a few attempts at a comeback, including a three-run fifth that bridge the Brewers’ lead to just two runs, but wouldn’t come any closer than that. Three runs from the Brewers in the sixth and two more in the seventh were enough to do it as the Red Sox eventually fell 11-7. Former Red Sox first/third baseman Travis Shaw

Despite the ugly loss, there were some positives to take away from this one. We’ll get through the rough stuff before delivering the good news.
