Pablo Reyes on the mound generally isn’t something you want to see. I mean, sure, it’s perversely fun seeing our tiny, walk-off grand slam hitting utility infielder throwing looping, 70 MPH curveballs up there. But when we saw it last year, it generally meant bad news. He made two appearances on the bump in 2023, and the Red Sox lost those games by a combined score of 23-2.
But against the Cubs on Saturday, we finally got to party with Pablo. A six-run fifth inning by the Red Sox turned this game into a blowout.
