"PHOENIX (AP) - Pinch-hitter Nick Sogard lined a late tiebreaking, two-run double, Aroldis Chapman extended his hitless streak to 17 appearances by striking out four in the ninth inning and Alex Cora got his 600th win as Boston manager when the Red Sox rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-4 on Sunday. Boston put two on in the ninth against Taylor Rashi (0-1) and Sogard followed with a double off Andrew Saalfrank. Carlos Narváez added a run-scoring single."
"Chapman tied the record for strikeouts in an inning as Ildemaro Vargas reached on a wild pitch and the 37-year-old closer got his 29th save in 31 chances. Chapman's hitless streak, spanning 14 2/3 innings since July 26, is the third-longest since 1901. Cora trails only Joe Cronin (1,071) and Terry Francona (744) for wins by a Boston manager. Garrett Whitlock (6-3) escaped a jam in the seventh and threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings. Boston remained 1 1/2 games behind the New York Yankees for the top AL wild card and moved within 3 1/2 games of AL East-leading Toronto."
