Clay Buchholz

The Red Sox might have lost Clay Buchholz's last start, dropping a 4-3 game to the Tampa Bay Rays, but it wasn't Buchholz's fault. In fact, Buchholz likely pitched his best game of the season, going seven innings while allowing just two runs, striking out six and walking one.

Boston can officially stop looking for scapegoats. Nothing “wrong” was done by the Red Sox or their manager in this game except that one of their supposed ace pitchers didn’t pitch.
