1) You said after the game that he did not blow it after the closer was credited with a blown save and entered the game 2-1 and left it 2-4.
2) The offense gave the closer the lead with 3 outs to go. Not sure why they'd receive much, or any blame at all.
3) This point would make more sense to me if he was pitching well and the Sox were just getting their bats on top of tough pitches. But unfortunately that wasn't the case, Santos was all over the map.
I don't want to release Santos or trade him or anything of the sort, but he blew this game without question IMO. Not the end of the world, hope he shakes this one off and comes back stronger next time out.
