EDGE Analysis

Barnes entered to start the 10th inning and retired the first two batters before Taylor Ward took him deep. A Mike Trout single and Shohei Ohtani walk ensued and Barnes was removed, but those runs came across to score with Hirokazu Sawamura on the mound. In all, Boston relievers allowed seven runs (two home runs) over the final two innings and blew their league-leading fifth save. Barnes' ERA climbed to 8.64 this season, and he has a 6.92 ERA since he signed an extension with the club in 2021.
