Part of the success of last season's team was an offense that produced from top to bottom. More notably, he hit two three-run home runs in the game and drove in six runs.
"Being here for a couple of weeks now and going through it, it's nice to get that one [win] over with and we can keep cruising", Sale said.
The Sox would tie it up 4-4 soon after in the 4th, as Pablo Sandoval sent one into the seats above the Green Monster, sending Xander Bogaerts home to score as well. They kept that momentum moving today and went 5-for-13 in scoring situations. He picked up a home run and double in that one, mixing in a single later on just for good measure.
Craig Kimbrel had two strikeouts in the 9th to earn his fifth save of the season.
- Pomeranz had a freakish outing to say the least. The lineup broke out for seven runs on sixteen hits and chased Rays' starter Alex Cobb after just five innings.
Pomeranz paid the price for control issues out of the gate, allowing a two-RBI triple to Brad Miller after walking the first two batters he faced in the first inning.
"Chris Sale: dominant, strong, any adjective you want to attach to it", Red Sox manager John Farrell said.
Joe Kelly (2-0) allowed one hit in 2 2/3 scoreless innings, and Craig Kimbrel struck out two in a flawless ninth for his fifth save. In the meantime, Chris Sale has been the anchor of the pitching staff and turned in his third straight outstanding performance in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Rays in the second of the four-game set.
United Will No Longer Remove Passengers To Give Seats To Crew Members
In an effort to prevent the crew from bumping a seated, paying passenger, the seat dispute will now be settled ahead of boarding. I have committed to our customers and our employees that we are going to fix what's broken so this never happens again.
Two walks, uncharacteristic of Porcello, and a single loaded the bases for Morris in the third, and he hit the first slam of his career.
- Scott got Dickerson to fly out to end the Rays' threat in the eighth.
"I'm sure it'll sink in more later tonight", Peterson said.
The Boston Red Sox got a go-ahead two-run single in the seventh inning en route to a 7-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park. Travis D'Arnaud was the hero for NY, blasting the eventual game winning home run in the top of the 16th as he led off the inning, some 5 and a half hours after the game began and ended this morning, past midnight when Hansel Robles pitched a scoreless bottom of the 16th.
The Red Sox will then hit the road for a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays.
- Vazquez continued his torrid offensive start with a 3-for-4 effort at the dish.
The game started out promising, as Boston starter Drew Pomeranz couldn't seem to find the plate in the first.
The veteran slugger made a premature exit but not before scattering a pair of hits through three at bats. With Blake Snell set to take on Steven Wright in the pitching matchup, the over/under now sits at 10 runs.
