“X Gon’ Give It To Ya.”
Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts lived up to the title of his walk-up song Saturday afternoon. After the Fenway Park speakers blasted a 10-second snippet of DMX’s 2003 track, “X Gon’ Give It To Ya,” Bogaerts delivered against Toronto Blue Jays.
The 25-year-old rocked reliever Chris Rowley’s 87 mph four-seam fastball just over the centerfield wall for a walk-off grand slam, lifting the Red Sox over the Blue Jays, 6-2, in the 10th inning. The win was Boston’s 11th in its past 12 games.
“As soon as he hit it, I knew we won the game,” second baseman Brock Holt said.
