More Bad Defense
Ross Gload doesn't get back fast enough on a Mike Lowell fly to the wall, and Lowell gets a double leading off the fourth. Last season, the Royals had a low DER, but the Probabilistic Model of Range showed that they also were presented with difficult balls to catch. These plays are examples of that. Three of the hits were on difficult balls to field, but really good fielders make the plays.
Update: That's all the Red Sox get as Greinke gets a fly, ground and strikeout to end the inning. Zack stands at five strikeouts and one walk through four innings with 68 pitches thrown.
