BOSTON (AP) — Even playing in wild chills below freezing couldn’t slow down the red-hot Boston Red Sox.
Andrew Benintendi got three hits and the Red Sox extended the best start in their 118-year history, beating the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 Sunday at frigid Fenway Park.
“I was miserable, nothing short of miserable,” Boston ace Chris Sale said. “I said it when I came out of the game: ‘This is the most miserable I’ve ever been on a baseball field, by far, not even close.’”
Mitch Moreland also had three hits for the Red Sox, who improved to a major league-best 13-2 under new manager Alex Cora.
