KANSAS CITY — Statistically, the Red Sox bullpen is in the middle of the pack in the American League. That was fine in the first half of the season when the rotation had a 3.63 earned run average.

The bullpen has had a 6.14 ERA and unfathomable 7.2 runs allowed per nine innings since the All-Star break.

The Red Sox have lost his last five starts. Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos gave up two runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. He walked two and matched a season high with eight strikeouts.
