The Boston Red Sox hoped to get out of Chase Anderson in a spot start on Thursday what they got out of Cooper Criswell the day prior.
It could have been that way for the Red Sox if it weren’t for one pitch Anderson threw to Cleveland Guardians star third baseman José Ramírez.
The veteran right-hander was locked in a lengthy battle with the five-time All-Star with the bases loaded and two outs in the the bottom of the second inning.
