David Ortiz hit his 450th career HR (a three-run shot) and
Dustin Pedroia had three hits and three RBIs to propel the Red Sox to
an 8-5 win over The Bronx Embalmers at
The Concrete Bunker On 161st Street.
John Lackey was off with his location but got his ninth win nevertheless in five difficult innings.
Mookie Betts made his MLB debut—going 1-3 with a walk and a run scored. Both Pedroia and
Jackie Bradley, Jr. made stellar defensive plays—the latter throwing out
Carlos Beltran at the plate. Boston returns home for a three-game set with
Theo Epstein's Chicago Cubs.
