, although it ended sourly when Ken Giles gave up a pair in the ninth on Mitch Moreland’s RBI double and a walk-off single by Rafael Devers in a 7-6 loss.
Freddy Galvis’ solo shot in the eighth inning off Ryan Brasier had opened up a 6-5 lead, while Justin Smoak, back in the lineup as the DH after missing four of the past five days with a stiff neck, crushed a three-run shot to dead centre in the third that opened the scoring.Earlier in the day, musing about manager Charlie Montoyo’s use of the hit and run, the sacrifice bunt and a straight steal of home in Tuesday’s 7-5 win, Smoak joked that, “I like it when they hit homers when I’m on base.
But take nothing for granted at Fenway Park, where errors always seem to bite you in the heinie. Aaron Sanchez, who needed 100 pitches to grind through five innings on a day his stuff was electric, induced a routine fly ball to right-centre from Mookie Betts to open the bottom of the third. Suddenly it was a ballgame, and things got tighter in the fifth, when consecutive wild pitches allowed Xander Bogaerts to score and make it a one-run game. A Pedroia fly ball to shallow centre followed and Devers unwisely chose to tag, getting thrown out at home on a perfect Grichuk throw by about 10 feet.
