BOSTON (AP) — Michael Chavis had a simple thought as he walked to the plate.
“A single scores him. Don’t try to be a Superhero and hit a home run or anything like that. Just need one,” Chavis said Wednesday night after his walk-off single in the 10th inning gave the Boston Red Sox a 6-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
J.D. Martinez homered in his third straight game and Boston recovered after blowing a five-run lead.
Martinez hit a two-run shot and Eduardo Rodriguez struck out 10 over six innings for the Red Sox, who won for the 12th time in 15 games.
