The big picture
Down to their final out, the Red Sox tied it at 3 in the ninth on a clutch two-run double to left-center from Kiké Hernández that scored Alex Verdugo and Jarren Duran. Hernu200bu200bández joked that it would have probably been a home run in Buffalo, but nonetheless, he was thrilled to help the Red Sox in what manager Alex Cora called his biggest hit with the team to this point.
