The Red Sox defeated the Reds 5-3 on Tuesday. A trio of Boston home runs propelled starter Brayan Bello to the second win of his Major League career.
Also on Tuesday, legendary defenseman Zdeno Chara signed a one-day contract with the Bruins shortly before retiring. Afterward, Chara’s former teammates gave him a standing ovation as the future Hall of Famer called time on a remarkable career.
JD Martinez’s inside-the-park home run that wasn’t: During the Red Sox’ win on Tuesday, a rare feat from Boston designated hitter JD Martinez — hitting a triple, which he done only 21 times in his career — almost became an unprecedented moment for the 35-year-old.
