They were down 3-0 in an ineffective
David Price start, and things looked bleak. Then, the vaunted Red Sox
'Comeback Machine' went into high gear. After Boston crept closer (3-2), Price gave back two more runs. Hey, no problem, they were down 5-2 on Thursday! A two-run HR by
Xander Bogaerts, tightened things and then
Mookie Betts singled to tie the game at five each. Betts then scampered home with the game-winner on a wild pitch.
Hanley Ramirez also had three more hits. The bullpen again saved the day—with
Craig Kimbrel getting a four-out save with
four strikeouts in
the eventual 6-5 win. The win guarantees at least a two-game lead in the AL East—and pushes
The Evil Ones to
seven games back.
