The Boston Red Sox’s misery knows no end.
A miserable start to the 2026 season continued on Monday for the Red Sox, who lost the opener of a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, 8-6, to drop to 2-8 for just the ninth time in franchise history and first since 2019, when it finished 84-78, 19 games behind the first-place New York Yankees.
Boston Red Sox reach new lows with embarrassing loss to the Milwaukee Brewers
The top of the fourth inning perfectly exemplified how awful Boston has been through its first 10 games. Despite entering the half inning up 3-0, Milwaukee took a 4-3 advantage without ever hitting the ball out of the infield.
Three Brewers batters got on base with infield singles, and another three walked. Catcher William Contreras also reached first on a fielding error by third baseman Caleb Durbin.
