MIAMI (AP) — Hanley Ramirez hit a two-run double with two out in the 13th inning, and another night of stingy pitching helped the Boston Red Sox extend their winning streak to five games by beating the Miami Marlins 4-2 Tuesday.
Mookie Betts singled with one out in the 13th off Tayron Guerrero (0-1) and advanced on a groundout. Following an intentional walk to Andrew Benintendi, Ramirez lined his third extra-base hit of the season.
Heath Hembree (1-0) allowed one hit in two innings to help the Red Sox (5-1) to their best start since 2006.
Red Sox ace Chris Sale allowed only one run, and it was tainted, but he needed 93 pitches to get through five innings.
