The box of chocolates known as the 2015 Red Sox offense offered up yet another mouth-watering treat in last night’s 3-2 win.
Rather than one of those fat and creamy nougats, this one was a thin-mint kind of night where Xander Bogaerts (walkoff single) and Ryan Hanigan (game-tying two-run home run) provided just enough.
Still, a sugar rush is a sugar rush, no matter the source, which is why this team’s pastry-chef offense is going to earn a Zagat listing soon because of its knack for turning in a different confectioner’s delight nearly every night.
Savor your sweet tooth, ignore the calories and lap it up, Red Sox fans: this entire lineup is a sweet spot.
