Red Sox 4, Padres 1: Salvation

After two absolutely clunky games this weekend, the Red Sox looked to avoid their first sweep since May 7-8 in a two game series in Atlanta.

Key Moments

B1: An Early Lead

An oppo-taco for Raffy certainly spelled good things for the Red Sox early in this one. Get out in front early and support your starter.

T2: Josh Escapes the Jam

Credit to Winck who did enough to settle the game down and keep it competitive.
