After a brutal start to their season, the Red Sox are looking re-energized in these last two games. Monday was a blowout. Tuesday was very much not that, but it was a phenomenal game. It featured a pair of great starting pitching performances, controversial calls, big plays on both sides, and a pair of big-time clutch hits from the Red Sox. Add it all up you get a 12-inning victory with a chance to sweep tomorrow. We’ll take it, folks, We’ll take it.
Coming off their first win of the season, the Red Sox were looking for a fourth good start to finish the first turn through their rotation, with Martín Pérez taking the ball on Tuesday.
