The Red Sox have an early bus to
SkyDome this morning (
never to be known as
RogersCentre). So, when
Rookie-Of-The-Year-In-Waiting Michael Chavis went yard in the 13th inning to give Boston the lead for good, many of his teammates were ecstatic. Boston won the see-saw match 6-5 and can take three of four in
America Lite with a win this afternoon. The Red Sox got homeruns from Chavis,
Rafael Devers and
Mookie Betts. Boston's bullpen was uncharacteristically weak—failing twice to close out the game with two outs. But, these are the kinds of wins that can define a season—and a championship team.
Rick Porcello was strong again—going six solid innings, giving up just one run on three hits.
Xander Bogaerts went 3-6 with an RBI. The win keeps Boston 5.5 games behind
The Evil Ones.
