CINCINNATI -- Mookie Betts had just thrown out two baserunners, driven in three runs with a double, and scored the go-ahead run from second base on an infield single. Yet the Boston Red Sox star couldn't help thinking about a different moment from Sunday's game.
"I thought I got that one to center," Betts said of a sixth-inning fly ball that came down short of the fence at Great American Ballpark. "And then I remembered that I'm 170 pounds."
Betts smiled easy and laughed, and why not? The Boston Red Sox won their sixth consecutive game, 5-4 over the Cincinnati Reds, and capped an 8-1 road trip in which they came from behind to win four times when trailing by three runs or more.
