Indians starter Justin Masterson was beaten by his former team Wednesday night as he suffered a loss to the Boston Red Sox. Masterson also saw a lengthy streak come to an end.
The Cleveland ace saw his three-game winning streak halted and also snapped a streak of 19 consecutive scoreless innings pitched when he allowed three runs in the first inning. In all, Masterson gave up four earned runs on 11 hits and a walk over five frames. Things could have been much worse as he was able to work out of some jams.
Masterson, who struck out five, threw 101 pitches and fell to 3-1. He entered the start against the Red Sox having allowed just one run over 22 innings with the 19-inning scoreless streak. He'll look to start a new streak when he next takes the hill Monday in Chicago against the White Sox.
