Frustration is mounting for the Boston Red Sox. They were swept by the Orioles after losing 6-5 on Thursday in Baltimore and during the game that frustration flared a little in the visitors dugout.
Red Sox starter Wade Miley got the hook after the fourth inning even though he had thrown just 69 pitches. Miley had given up nine hits, five runs and three home runs, and manager John Farrell had seen enough. Farrell informed Miley he was done for the night, and that led to this heated exchange between pitcher and manager.
Miley and Farrell both downplayed the back-and-forth after the game:
What's clear is that the team is not in a good place right now. The Red Sox are last in the AL East at 27-34 and their minus-48 run differential is the second worst in the AL. Star slugger David Ortiz is one of the key players struggling and it has gotten bad enough that he could be held out of the lineup against lefties.
It's not about to get any easier for the Red Sox either. Up next for Boston is a three-game set against the red-hot Toronto Blue Jays over the weekend.
