The Red Sox were in Coors Field going up against a rookie right-handed pitcher making his major-league debut, which meant there was a very good chance the offense was going to show off a bit in this game. That’s exactly what happened, with the Sox hitting three homers over the first half of this game — including one from Jackie Bradley Jr. that travelled almost 500 feet — and dropping ten runs all together. Throw in a solid start from Rick Porcello and another good showing from the bullpen (minus Josh Smith) and you have yourself an Red Sox win.
