Red Sox Scores: August 6, 2016
The Dodgers’ pitching staff had a strong afternoon, shutting out the Red Sox and holding them to just five hits on the day. Rookie starter Ross Stripling went five innings after being called up from the minors, walking only one and retiring 15 of the last 18 hitters he faced. Following in his footsteps, rookie reliever Grant Dayton threw two scoreless innings, striking out four, while closer Kenley Jansen picked up his 33rd save of the season. •••• For every Red Sox game this season, @Dan Perrera and I will be visualizing the final score through data visualization, illustration, and typography.
