The Red Sox are in need of a little bit of momentum ahead of their weekend series in the Bronx, and they got off to a good start with Wednesday’s win. On Thursday, they had Martín Pérez on the mound, and he gave them a much-needed solid start. He wasn’t perfectly crisp all the way through and had one rough inning with his control, but all things considered he gave his team every chance to win. The offense, meanwhile, didn’t really have a great game outside of Christian Vázquez. He was all they’d need, though, as he smashed a pair of homers and drove in all three runs as the team squeaked by with a 3-2 victory to make it two in a row.
