"Luzardo was cruising and it looked like another complete game could happen, or worse, a complete game shutout. But then the Sox remembered they have fight."
"Thanks to Luzardo losing his command and a ball that was failed to get caught in foul territory, the Sox suddenly had a 6-5 lead due to 2 RBI walks and a Romy Gonzalez grand slam."
"Romy Gonzalez broke an offensive slump to put the Red Sox on top with a beautiful grand slam. He finally gave the Sox more than 2 runs in the past few games."
"Carlos Narváez hit the go-ahead home run in the top of the eleventh to put the Red Sox up for good, marking his redemption moment."
The game started poorly for the Red Sox, who were down 0-5 after four home runs by the Phillies, with Luzardo dominating. However, in the fifth inning, the Red Sox responded with hits and walks, leading to a grand slam by Romy Gonzalez, taking the lead at 6-5. The Phillies tied the game in the eighth with a home run. The Red Sox won 7-6 in extra innings, avoiding a sweep and improving their record compared to the previous season's series post All-Star break.
