Jackie Bradley Jr.’s 478-foot blast sets tone, Red Sox beat Rockies 10-6

DENVER (AP) — Some of Jackie Bradley Jr.’s teammates pointed up into the sky. Others held their arms aloft in utter disbelief.

They didn’t need a measurement to know his blast went a long, long way.

Bradley opened Boston’s three-homer night with a solo shot into the third deck, and the Red Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 10-6 on Tuesday.
