My point is that they won all those games. Which is probably unusual.
There was also the Kellly leaves in the first inning game. They lost that one.
Sorry, I misread your original post, which is why I was only looking for Disaster Start Wins. Let's see how those compare to Disaster Start Losses.
4/6 @ Indians, L 7-6. Buchholz goes 4 innings, gives up 5 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks, leaves trailing 5-2. Sox come back to take the lead 6-5 in the 6th. Indians tie it up with a run in the 6th (NRamirez in his second inning of work). Tazawa gives up a blast to Napoli in the 7th for the difference in the game.
4/11 vs Orioles, L 9-7. Price gives up 5 runs in 5 innings (all in the 3rd), leaves tied at 5-5. Os go ahead with 1 in the 6th, Sox tie it in the bottom of the 6th. Kimbrel gives up the 3-run, 2-out homer to Davis in the 9th. Sox get one back on a Betts homer, and Pedroia and Bogaerts both get on, but Ortiz grounds into a double play and Hanley strikes out to end it.
4/12 vs Orioles, L 9-4. Buchholz gives up 5 runs in 5 innings (+ 4 batters in the 6th). Sox jumped out to a 2-0 lead. Os tied it in the 4th on Hardy's homer around the Pesky Pole. Sox went ahead in the 5th, 4-2. Buchholz couldn't get an out in the 6th, going single-homer-walk-double, leaving with the game tied and runners on 2nd and 3rd. NRamirez gave up a sac fly (run charged to Buchholz) before getting out of the inning without further damage. In the 7th, Ramirez (single, then pulled) and Ross Jr combined to give up 4 runs (including another Hardy poke behind the pole in right).
4/19 vs Rays, L 3-0 (10 innings). Joe Kelly leaves with shoulder pain after getting two outs and giving up two walks in the 1st. The bullpen -- Hembree (3.1 IP), Ross Jr (3.0), Tazawa (1.0) and Kimbrel (1.0) -- shuts the Rays down through 9. But Drew Smyly is on, one-hitting the Sox through 8. Barnes gives up 3 runs (1 earned) in the 10th to take the loss, as the Sox hitters did nothing against Erasmo Ramirez and Alex Colome.
4/21 vs Rays, L 12-8. Price can't make it out of the 4th inning, giving up 8 runs in 3.2 IP and leaving down 8-5. Sox scrap back to tie it with 2 in the 6th and 1 in the 7th, but Cuevas and NRamirez combine to give up 1 in the 8th and 3 in the 9th.
4/23 @ Astros, L 8-3. Another stinker from Buchholz, as he gives up 5 runs in 5.2 innings, the big blow being Rasmus' grand slam in the 5th, and he leaves trailing 5-2. Sox make it 5-3 with a run in the 8th, then Elias gives up 3 in the bottom of the 8th to seal it.
4/28 vs Braves, L 5-3. Buchholz goes 6.1 IP but gives up 5 runs and leaves trailing 5-2. Sox never get anything going offensively despite 10 hits, 3 walks and 2 errors by the Braves.
So ten total Disaster Starts, with three wins.* Anybody know how that compares to league averages?
*Or four wins in 11 Disaster Starts if you count Price's 5/1 start against the Yankees. I don't think those other two non-quality starts qualify as disasters - Porcello givng up 4 in 6 innings and leaving with an 8-4 lead, and Kelly giving up 2 in 5 innings and leaving with a 4-2 lead.
