The struggling Red Sox wrapped up their home and home interleague series with the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta on Thursday night. It was a battle of Texas natives as Clay Buchholz (3-6, 4.22) took the mound against the Braves best starter (and best man at Red Sox starter, and former Cardinals teammate, Joe Kelly‘s wedding) Shelby Miller (5-2, 2.02). Behind Buchholz’ mastery and two out hitting, the Red Sox won 5-2.
Brock Holt got the Red Sox on the board in the top of the fourth, with a booming triple off the center field wall.
