We’ve heard this story before, but it truly never gets old. The Red Sox offense was sleepwalking through the early portions of this game and they fell behind by a few runs. It looked like things were going to end poorly, but as they’ve done so many times before they led a late-game rally to take the lead. This time, it came in the eighth and it was led by Mookie Betts. It would be unfair to say he did it by himself but he was clearly the face of this comeback. Earlier in the game, it was a mildly encouraging start from Doug Fister, who got a bunch of strikeouts but also allowed a bunch of hits.
