Aníbal Sánchez gave up a three-run blast by Xander Bogaerts in the first, one run in the second, then after a three-run rally by the Nationals made it a one-run game after three, Kevin Pillar hit one over the Green Monster, and out of Fenway Park, to put the Red Sox ahead, 5-3.
That’s how it ended, with Boston evening things up in the three-game set with Washington, which wraps up with a rubber match tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 PM ET.
Sánchez vs the Sox: Aníbal Sánchez found something last time out before tonight holding the Marlins to a run on five hits in seven innings after struggling out of the gate in his 15th season in the majors.
