MIAMI — They did it to themselves, with mistakes in the field and on the bases, as the Red Sox were forced to play 13 innings last night with the Miami Marlins.
Two innings after Matt Barnes blew a save chance and Xander Bogaerts gunned down Miami’s Justin Bour at the plate to keep the game alive, Hanley Ramirez delivered a two-out, two-run double in the top of the 13th to lift the Red Sox to 4-2 win, plus a two-game series sweep in South Florida and a five-game winning streak.
The next time the 5-1 Red Sox play, they’ll have David Price on the mound against Tampa Bay at Fenway Park in tomorrow’s home opener.
