Alert the media! Another extra-innings Red Sox win—their
fifteenth of 2017. A true pitcher's duel dominated most of this quick contest—with
Drew Pomeranz going 6.1 innings and giving up no eared runs on just five hits. Stellar defensive plays helped—
Andrew Benintendi gunning down a runner at the plate and
Jackie Bradley, Jr. literally stealing a solo HR from the Birds. There weren't many offensive fireworks to talk about in this one—with the winning run scoring on a wild pitch in the 11th inning for
the 1-0 victory. The win guarantees that the Sox will maintain their 3-game lead on
The Bronx Embalmers and they reduce their
Magic Number to clinch the AL East to 9.
