Good game goes bad as Red Sox self destruct and lose to Giants 8-6. Playing short handed and with most of our regular pitchers not available to pitch we needed a good outing from the starting pitcher. That's exactly what we got. Lilly threw four frames giving up just two runs, one earned, and getting three up three down her last two. The game looked good after four as the score was all even 2-2. But that would be the last of the good baseball we would play the rest of the game. In each of the final two innings the Sox were outscored 3-2. Half of the Giants runs were unearned thanks to five errors and just as many mental lapses. The lone bright spot was a lead off blast over the center field fence by Tristan. The Red Sox will need to play a better game on Wednsday as they look to get even against the Brewers.
