“A loss is a loss,” Sox manager Pedro Grifol said. “But this loss right here, we had opportunities to do some things here. We had won the previous two games, we had an opportunity to win this third one and that second inning was a nice opportunity to put a crooked number up there and get ahead early with our opening-day starter on the mound.
The Sox loaded the bases with no outs in the second. Hanser Alberto popped out and Seby Zavala and Jake Marisnick struck out. The Guardians threatened in the seventh, with runners on second and third with one out. The Sox brought the infield in, and Brayan Rocchio hit a grounder to shortstop that Tim Anderson couldn’t field cleanly. A run scored on the error.
