Hammered by Mets

Martin allowed four runs on four hits while striking out two over one inning in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Mets.

Analisi

Martin, who entered with the Red Sox down by a run heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, let the game get away quickly. He allowed hits to the first three batters faced, which produced a pair of runs, before Pete Alonso finished it off with a two-run home run. Three of the four hits allowed had an exit velocity of at least 105.5 mph. The eighth inning was a microcosm of Boston's recent slide, during which it has lost 10 of 13 games: the offense squandered an opportunity in the top of the eighth before the bullpen faltered in the bottom of the frame.
