Your 2018
Carmine Hose are now 20 games over the .500 mark and own the best record in baseball at 36-16. Today,
Andrew Benintendi (3-4, 3 RBIs, 2 Rs, homerun #6) and
Mitch Moreland (2-5, 2 RBIs, 1 R) led the way in
Boston's 8-6 victory over the former Boston Braves. The Red Sox overcame a 3-0 deficit—caused by the third straight horrendous performance by starter
Drew Pomeranz. The lefty only managed to make it through 3.1 innings—giving up five earned runs. The Boston bullpen again shone (particularly
should-be starter Steven Wright)—delivering 5.2 innings, while yielding just one earned run. Ironically, that run came as a HR off closer
Craig Kimbrel—who notched his 16th save of 2018. The returning
Dustin Pedroia went 0-4 with a walk, scoring a hustle run from second base.
