The Red Sox moved into sole possession of first place in the American League East with a thrilling, rain-soaked
8-7 win over
The Bronx Embalmers. With the game tied at 6-6 (thanks to a 2-run HR by
Travis Shaw),
Christian Vazquez roped a first pitch, 2-run HR over the Monster Seats to give Boston what became an insurmountable 8-6 lead.
David Price got his fourth win with a very shaky seven-inning performance (giving up
six earned runs).
Dustin Pedroia and
Xander Bogaerts each had three hits in the win, as
The Carmine Hose completed a three-game sweep of their "rivals". After an off day, the first-place Red Sox travel to Chicago to take on the Pale Hose.
