Starters fail Red Sox in another early playoff exit

Ace left-hander New York Yankees jerseys Chris Sale began Boston's AL Division Series by giving up seven runs in five innings. Fellow starters Drew Pomeranz, Doug Fister and Rick Porcello didn't do any better.

Again and again, the high-powered Houston Astros got to Boston's starters early, and after four truncated outings by their starters, the AL East champion Chicago Cubs Jerseys Red Sox are heading home for a second straight early postseason exit following a 5-4 loss in Game 4 on Monday.

Boston used two Cy Young Award winners during the series in Porcello Los Angeles Dodgers jerseys and David Price, and it may have another this year in Sale. And yet Houston scored in the first inning of every game, chasing every starter besides Sale before the fourth inning.

It's returned a cloud of uncertainty over manager John Farrell, who had an early exit himself Monday, ejected by plate umpire Mark Wegner for arguing balls and strikes in the second.

Farrell led the franchise to back-to-back division titles for the first time in its history, but last Houston Astros Jerseys year's team was swept in an ALDS by Cleveland, and this year's team didn't fare much better.

Despite another disappointing playoff exit, Farrell said he believes he's the manager that can get the Red Sox over their current postseason stumbling block.

"Yes, I feel confident in that," Farrell said. "I know that we have got opportunity to access where we are as a team. I can't begin to talk about what the offseason plans are, and what changes may be realized, but there's still good things that are going on here."
