Enrique Hernandez launched his third homer of the ALCS and franchise-tying fifth of the postseason to help the Red Sox salvage a split of the first two games of the best-of-seven series. Game 3 is in Boston on Monday.The offense was more than enough for Nathan Eovaldi , who picked up the win after allowing three runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Boston kept the pressure on in the second inning after Kevin Plawecki worked a walk off Garcia, who exited with right knee discomfort. Jake Odorizzi relieved Garcia and permitted singles to both Christian Arroyo and Hernandez before Devers sent a 1-1 cutter over the wall in right field. The homer also pushed Hernandez’s total bases mark to 35, which is tied with Daniel Murphy for second in a seven-game postseason stretch in a single season. Carlos Beltran had 38 in 2004.
