Red Sox Lose 8-6 After Late Error Lets Rockies Rally in Denver

A two-out error in the seventh extended the inning, allowing Colorado to tie and then take the lead and exposing Boston's late-inning pitching and defensive weaknesses.

Overview

  • Ranger Suárez delivered a quality start with nine strikeouts over six innings, but the Red Sox still surrendered a 6-3 lead late in the game.
  • With two outs in the seventh, Marcelo Mayer misplayed a routine grounder that kept the inning alive and led to three consecutive run-scoring singles tying the game.
  • Justin Slaten allowed the go-ahead runs in the eighth, and Antonio Senzatela and Jimmy Herget combined to shut down Boston's rally and secure the 8-6 Rockies win.
  • Third baseman Caleb Durbin left with a left fifth-finger subluxation in the third inning, creating immediate infield disruption and short-term roster uncertainty for Boston.
  • The loss in Denver on Wednesday left the Red Sox with a .500 road trip and underlined a season-long pattern of late-game collapses driven by defensive miscues and inconsistent late relief.
