"After Romy Gonzalez-himself a pinch hitter for Rob Refsnyder who came out of the game after missing a diving catch-got on with a base hit, Nate Eaton-who came in to play right field-drew a walk to set up a great two-on, one out jam. Ceddanne clearly looked frustrated at the dish wih his weak pop out. Then, not Connor Wong, but pinch hitter Nick Sogard comes up as clutch as can be with a two-run double to the left-field wall."
"Even after that, not Masataka Yoshida, but pinch hitter Carlos Narvaez singled Sogard home to give the Sox a three-run cushion. Aroldis Chapman was Aroldis Chapman, throwing in an extra strikeout just for fun to seal the win. Yes, he had the classic four strikeouts in an inning since one was on a wild pitch. With the Yankees and Jays duking it out, any win we could take to catch up on either one of them ending this skid was going to be huge."
Alex Cora executed a multi-part ninth-inning rally that produced a decisive lead and secured the victory. Romy Gonzalez, a pinch hitter for Rob Refsnyder, reached on a base hit. Nate Eaton drew a walk to create a two-on, one-out jam. Ceddanne produced a weak pop out. Pinch hitter Nick Sogard delivered a two-run double to left. Pinch hitter Carlos Narvaez followed with a single to score Sogard and extend the cushion. Aroldis Chapman struck out batters, recording four strikeouts in the inning including one on a wild pitch. Zack Kelly struggled earlier, and Whitlock and Chapman provided scoreless relief. Bello delivered six solid innings as a stabilizing start. Masataka Yoshida's offense remained cold and Enrique Duran went 0-for-5 at the plate.
