Jordan is riding solo for this episode as the Boston Red Sox muster up five runs while striking out 33 times against the fourth-place Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field.

The good news? Triston Casas and Trevor Story both homered, Brayan Bello and Tanner Houck were solid, and we got at least one more Martin-to-Kenley shutdown before both veterans hit free agency upon the conclusion of the 2024 season.

The bad news? Everything else kinda sucked. Nick Pivetta gave up three homers, Josh Winckowski tried his schtick of downplaying him not doing his job again and the Duran-Devers one-two punch has become a catalyst for the offensive woes in September.

Later, Jordan offers fellow Pesky Report host Jake his best wishes as he recovers from surgery and suggests the rest of Pesky's listeners to do the same.
