For a little while, it appeared this was going to be another frustrating day for the Red Sox. They failed to take advantage of early opportunities, the big bats weren’t doing a ton, Rick Porcello got hurt by a long ball and they were losing about halfway through. Things changed pretty quickly, though, and it was encouraging to see the team picked up by a rally started by the bottom half of the lineup. It was even more encouraging to see the bullpen hold on to a late lead with relatively little trouble. Ahead of a game against Jacob deGrom, it was nice to put the sweep out of play on Saturday.
