Too little, too late, too bad, too often.
That familiar Rockies refrain played out again Wednesday night in a 10-2 loss as the Red Sox finished off a three-game sweep at Fenway Park. The red-hot Sox hit four home runs Wednesday night and outscored the Rockies 29-7 over the series.
Boston blanked the Rockies for eight innings until Kyle Farmer hit a two-run homer over the Green Monster in left field off Isaiah Campbell. Farmer drove in rookie right fielder Yanquiel Fernandez, who reached on a one-out single.
Of course, in traditional Rockies fashion, that momentary flash of success was wiped out by Romy Gonzalez’s two-run homer off Seth Halvorsen in the bottom of the frame, followed by Jarren Duran’s three-run homer off Halvorsen.
The Rockies — owners of a 21-72 record and a mind-boggling minus-251 run differential — were blanked for six innings by right-hander Lucas Giolito, who allowed just four hits, struck out six and walked none.
The Rockies made some noise in the fourth inning off Giolito. Tyler Freeman, who extended his on-base streak to 23 games, led off with a single. He attempted to score from first on Michael Toglia’s double off the Green Monster in left field but was cut down at the plate on a perfect throw from shortstop Trevor Story, the former Rockies All-Star.
Colorado right-hander Antonio Senzatela didn’t come close to matching Giolito. Over five innings, Senzatela gave up four runs on eight hits, including a 434-foot leadoff homer to Carlos Narvaez in the second and a two-run blast by Wilyer Abreu in the fifth. Senzatela (3-13) struck out three and walked one as his ERA rose to 6.60. Opponents are hitting .354 against him.
Boston, winners of six straight games, are hitting against everyone these days. The Red Sox are 9-2 in their last 11 games, outscoring opponents 96-39 (plus-57) over that span.
