Kenley Jansen - Takes loss Monday Jansen (3-2) was tagged with Monday's loss to the Astros, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one over a third of an inning.
Impact Jansen entered the ninth inning with the score tied and promptly dispatched Jordan Alvarez on three pitches. His fourth pitch, however, hung too high in the zone, and Yanier Diaz belted a no-doubt home run to left, giving Houston the walk-off win. Jansen had not allowed a hit or run in his previous six outings, spanning 6.2 innings.

Lucas Sims - Unable to hold lead Sims allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one over one inning, picking up a blown save in Monday's 5-4 loss to Houston.
Impact The Red Sox seemingly were in control late, but the bullpen -- Sims and Kenley Jansen -- allowed the Astros to tie then win the game in the final two innings. With two outs and the bases empty in the eighth inning, Sims allowed back-to-back hits that erased Boston's one-run lead. Sims was added at the trade deadline to help a faltering bullpen, and he's done fine when not facing the Astros. In three appearances against Houston while in a Boston uniform, Sims has allowed six runs on six hits and three walks over 3.1 innings.
