The Red Sox are facing challenges with their bullpen, impacting their win potential. They need to utilize high-leverage relievers carefully to secure games when leading. A recent game against the Orioles highlighted these issues, where despite a solid performance by starter Dustin May, the bullpen faltered, failing to protect the lead. Relievers Jovani Moran and Jordan Hicks struggled, complicating the team’s efforts. The Red Sox must find balance in bullpen use to avoid compromising future games. May’s performance showed promise, but concerns remain about his consistency moving forward.
Hicks is especially frustrating because he should be good, considering the trade he was a part of. Moran, less so, but you'd like him to be able to get through an inning without imploding.
Dustin May was good tonight. He fought through a lot of traffic, but gave you six innings of two-run baseball against a lefty-heavy lineup.
