Pomeranz threw 6.2 solid innings Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight, taking a no-decision.
Pomeranz was cruising through six innings, having allowed just one run on three hits entering the seventh. He managed two outs in the seventh before serving up a game-tying home run to Luke Maile, at which point he was yanked by manager John Farrell. Pomeranz has posted a solid 2.70 ERA over six August starts, yet has just two wins to show for it, disappointing considering the Red Sox lead the AL in runs by a mile with 716. Pomeranz now has an even 3.00 ERA on the season, and although he's earned just two wins since joining the Red Sox in mid-July, there is reason to expect an improvement in the win-loss column given the Red Sox prolific offense.
