The Boston Red Sox squandered late leads in consecutive home games this week, dropping a 5–3 decision to the Miami Marlins on Sunday and a 4–3, 11-inning loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday at Fenway Park. Against Miami, relievers Greg Weissert and Steven Matz surrendered back-to-back homers to Dane Myers and Jakob Marsee in a three-run ninth that erased a 3–2 Red Sox advantage. The collapse spoiled seven strong innings from Garrett Crochet and denied Boston a series sweep while snapping the Marlins’ three-game skid. Two nights later, Boston carried a 1–0 lead into the fifth and trailed 3–1 before newcomer Nathaniel Lowe’s two-run shot in the ninth forced extras. The Red Sox loaded the bases in the 10th and put the potential winning run on third in the 11th but went 0-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Baltimore secured its third straight win when Samuel Basallo’s ground-out plated the go-ahead run, with Yennier Cano earning the decision and Corbin Martin collecting the save. The back-to-back late-inning setbacks leave Boston searching for stability in a bullpen that has twice cost the club potential victories within 48 hours.
