There were a bunch of players who played a role in the Red Sox picking up a ten-inning win on Wednesday to avoid a quick, two-game sweep at the hands of the Rockies. The top of the lineup built an early lead by single-handedly putting five runs on the board in the first three innings. Eduardo Rodriguez pitched mostly well, having a bad inning in the fourth then again in the seventh when he likely shouldn’t have been out there. Xander Bogaerts got the big leadoff double in the tenth. And, of course, Michael Chavis had the game-winning hit, not to mention some strong play at second base earlier in the game.
