The Red Sox have won four consecutive games for the first time since a four-game win streak August 10-14, 2014. This was one of those “sometimes you just get beat during the course of a 162-game season” games. Then in the bottom of the fourth, Boston picked up two more runs.

“Wade’s performance tonight was a very strong one”, Farrell said.
The left fielder hit his 19th homer of the year on a 1-0 fastball that landed in the Red Sox bullpen in right-center after designated hitter David Ortiz’s leadoff single, making it 3-1.
“It really made me feel the love, it was the other fans taking care of me”, said Wapenski.
BOSTON (AP) – Boston Red Sox rookie Eduardo Rodriguez didn’t waste any time worrying about whether he was pitching to save his team’s season. In addition to his diving catch, he went 2-for-4 with a steal and two runs. Rodriguez has allowed a run in each of his last two starts while striking out eight in his last start.
According to FOX25 in Boston, Stephanie Wapenski of Branford, Conn. was sitting down the third base line in the same area where a woman was hit by pieces of a broken bat on June 5. They remained in last place in the East, but they closed to 5 1-2 games out in the division. Brett Gardner’s eighth-inning double scored Jacoby Ellsbury from first but Alex Rodriguez left Gardner on second to end the inning with a grounder to the right side.
Refsnyder started instead of primary second baseman Stephen Drew, who is hitting.182/.257/.372 with 12 home runs and 25 RBI in 78 games.
Here’s hoping the Yankees come back to win the series tomorrow afternoon.
After a pedestrian first inning and an empty threat in the home second, it took the Red Sox until the third to break through in the run column against Yankees starter Ivan Nova. “It was quite an experience, growing up a sports fan in a sports family”.
They needed a win and Rodriguez helped them to get one. Afterward, he deadpanned: “I wasn’t nervous at all”. That ties him with Rafael Palmeiro for 25th all-time.
Getting the ball for the Yankees today will be Nathan Eovaldi, who is 8-2 with a 4.45 ERA overall this year, while on the road he has gone 4-2 with a 5.17 ERA in 9 starts.
Adam Warren of the Yankees faced three batters, giving up the triple, single and a walk before he was pulled.
