“I think anybody who watched the ninth inning, how it unfolded, probably knows the story of that inning,” the Boston manager said. “We created another golden opportunity for us, as we did in the sixth — runner in scoring position, in the seventh, again in the eighth and a big opportunity in the ninth.
