The Red Sox got a win they badly needed on Wednesday, bouncing back from Tuesday’s loss to beat the Tigers 4-1 and snap a five-game skid that saw them drop out of first place in the AL East.
Here are the takeaways.
The big picture
J.D. Martinez opened the scoring with a solo homer in the second inning. In the fifth, Hernández ripped a two-run shot.
Immediately after Hernández, Jarren Duran hit his second career homer.
“Glad the kid could finally get his first Tunnel Time ride,” Hernández said, referencing the cart ride Red Sox players receive after they hit a home run.
