Around 1:30 PM tomorrow, there will be a partial eclipse of the sun in Boston. On Sunday, the Red Sox "eclipsed" the Yankees' biggest deadline acquisition by
beating Sonny Gray 5-1 at Fenway.
Rick Porcello earned his fourth straight win by going six solid innings and giving up just three hits—one of them a fluke
Pesky Pole HR. The somewhat maligned (by us) bullpen contributed three stellar innings en route to the victory. The key offensive star was
Jackie Bradley, Jr.—who knocked in three runs on a triple and a single. Adding some padding in the eighth,
Sandy Leon (2-3) smacked a two-run double to give Boston a four-run advantage.
Andrew Benintendi,
Mitch Moreland and
Brock Holt also had multiple-hit games for
The Carmine Hose. The win boosts Boston's lead in the AL East to five full games over
The Bronx Embalmers.
