Opportunities aplenty, but Red Sox can't capitalize and drop opener to Braves in Atlanta

Atlanta averaged 2.5 runs in losing six of its prior eight. Boston went 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position Tuesday, stranding 13 despite getting their biggest hitters up in the biggest spots. Both Rafael Devers and Tyler O'Neill went 0 for 3 in their chances, each striking out twice. The Red Sox cornered López in the top of the first inning, when Jarren Duran slashed a leadoff double down the left field line.
