What happened

Some Red Sox fans are not happy with owner John Henry and they let him hear it on Sunday.

Why it matters

The Red Sox fell to the Padres 8-6 at Fenway Park and moved to 2-7 in the club’s first nine games of the season.

Common ground

When Boston was down to its final out of the game, a smattering of fans began chatting for Henry to “Sell the team!” Sunday was a bad day all around for the Red Sox, who let a 4-0 lead slip away in the fourth and fifth innings.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
