Game 4 – Porcello vs Jeremy Hellickson (9-14, 5.24)
Porcello is cleared to start, and looks good early on, retiring first 11 batters.
Meanwhile, Sox offense put up 4 runs, on rbi from Castellanos, Beckham & de Aza. The
2nd inning could’ve been huge, but Enrique Hernandez leaves the bases loaded. He comes
through in the 5th however, with a 2-run double, making it 6-0.
In typical DMB fashion though, a pitcher can go from putting up zeroes to 5+ runs in an
inning. Royals 5th goes BB, 1B, BB, 1B, K, 3B (Le Mahieu), K (but reached on WP), BB.
Perhaps Porcello was still hurt. Rich Hill comes in to end threat. Pollock singles (Avila
holds at 3rd). Pierzynski grounds into bases-loaded, inning-ending DP. Score is now 7-5
Sox.
Sox tack on two more in 6th, helped by Upton error. In bottom of 6th LeMahieu singled home
Trumbo, but Gosselin left runners on the corners. Sox get another unearned run in 8th, when
Pollock made an error, making it 9-6.
In the bottom of 8th, Upton walked, Trumbo walked. Nicasio comes in and walks Semien.
Orlando hits a sac fly, but LeMahieu grounds into double play. Royals try again in 9th, when
Gosselin gets lead-off walk. Yunel grounds into DP as well. Polllock doubles, but Pierzynski
flies out to end it. 9-7 Sox. ... series tied at 2.
