It was beginning to look like another painful
Rick Porcello loss—and the start of the slow descent into
WildCardsVille. Then, down 4-0, a two-run jack by
Jackie Bradley, Jr., an RBI triple by
Xander Bogaerts and a sac fly by
Andrew Benintendi sent the game into extra innings. In the 13th,
Chris Young laced a pinch-hit game winning single to give Boston a
come-from-behind 5-4 win over St. Louis. The bullpen had another incredible performance—going seven innings and giving up no runs on three hits. The two-game sweep of the Cards sets up the possibility of a
really good road trip—with four games upcoming in Oakland.
