Hanley Ramirez was responsible for some big missed opportunities early on, but he scored the run that put the Red Sox back on top in the sixth, and hit the game-winning homer in the seventh to secure a series win.
The Boston bullpen almost led to another loss to the Astros Sunday afternoon, but Hanley Ramirez picked the Red Sox up after Alexei Ogando stumbled to give the Red Sox the game and series win alike.
It did not look like there would be much call for the bullpen the way Eduardo Rodriguez started the game. While he didn't have his best fastball command, he struck out the first two batters he faced on a total of eight pitches, and even with a pair of singles gumming up the works in the second, he still finished the inning with just 30 pitches on his arm.
