The Red Sox have been finishing off their series well all year long, but the goal in this one was to start this three-game set in Tampa Bay off the right way. They had an advantage with Chris Sale on the mound, and he did exactly what they needed him to do. He wasn’t perfect and there was some hard contact here and there, but at the end of the day you always know he is going to put his team in a good position to win games. He did exactly that tonight. The offense was actually a little bit frustrating this time, but once again they got a couple of home runs that was enough to put them on top and keep them there.
