Count this one as a 'gimmee'. The Red Sox had no business pulling out a win tonight, but—thanks to a hapless Nationals "defense"—they eeked out
a crazy 8-7 win at Fenway. In the seventh-inning comeback, Washington made three errors and their pitchers hit two batters—
allowing Boston to score three runs without the benefit of a hit. Earlier,
Justin Masterson,
ahead by a 5-1 score until the fifth, imploded and coughed up six runs. The offensive stars were
Dustin Pedroia—(going 3-4 including his third home-run), and
Brock Holt (2-4 with the go-ahead RBI). On the injury front, it looks as if the Red Sox may have dodged two bullets—with clean
initial MRIs coming back on the knee of
Xander Bogaerts and the foot of
Pablo Sandoval.
