Five Sox pitchers combined to allow 11 hits and throw 163 pitches, as Cleveland scored six runs in the second to cruise to victory.

A brutal six-run second inning set the tone for an 8-1 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. The Red Sox had planned on a bullpen game to give rookie Payton Tolle an extra day’s rest. The plan imploded when Jordan Hicks was tagged for four runs in the second without recording an out.

Gabriel Arias hit a two-run homer that sparked a six-run second inning, and the Cleveland Guardians routed the sloppy Boston Red Sox 8-1 on Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep.

The Red Sox announced they will use Bernardino as an opener in the final game of their three-game series with the Guardians. First pitch is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. at Fenway Park. Boston will try for a series sweep. Lefty Joey Cantillo (3-3. 3.93 ERA) will start for Cleveland.
