Last night wasn’t the most enjoyable game to watch but the Red Sox pulled out the win which is all that matters. Boston got off to a hot start scoring four runs in the first but Eduardo Rodriguez would soon give those runs right back to the Rangers. It wasn’t a performance of the level we’ve become accustomed to from E-Rod this season but he showed his grit in what would be a long night.
This season was lost long ago but there have been some bright spots along the way. We’ve seen Rafael Devers grow into a high-level third baseman, Xander Bogaerts has joined the elite at the shortstop position, and Christian Vazquez has morphed into Babe Ruth.
