The Red Sox have been playing some good baseball the last few days, and they carried that momentum into Philadelphia for a pitching matchup that did not favor them. They were able to win despite that fact, getting a couple of big home runs including one from Danny Santana, of course playing in his first game with the Red Sox. The real key, though, was the Phillies defense, which was just a disaster all night long. Boston may have won either way considering the margin, but at the very least the poor defense lessened any stress for this victory, which is the third in a row for the Red Sox.
