BOSTON (AP) – Xander Bogaerts has relaxed to the beat of his favorite song. Three pitchers later, he was stunned by the excitement around the goals.
Bogaerts hit a big end slam with one on the 10th inning, and JD Martinez hit his 29th major league main draw to bring the Boston Red Sox to a 6-2 win against the Blue Toronto Jays Saturday
The circuit cleared for one of the unknown baserunning blunders you will see someday. The bottom of the seventh century is over when Blake Swihart was fooled by a fantastic infield game from the Blue Jays. With an exit and Swihart in the front row, Sandy Leon flew to the left field, but Jays' average players acted as though it were a double routine game. . Swihart took advantage of second place without realizing the stratagem and was doubled to finish the round.
Mookie Betts opened the winning rally by coming up against an error against Chris Rowley (0-1) when the Gurriel shortstop, who had settled there at the start of the inning, had his grounder right in his legs. Brock Holt had a simple hit-and-run and Martinez was intentionally walked before Bogaerts struck his center-left shot that was straddling the bleachers.
Before coming, Bogaerts heard 'X Gon'. Give It To Ya by DMX
"Music, I'm going to be honest," he said with a smile. "It was a good time for that, I have a few places where I like to hear that, it really helped me, I smiled up there."
"A homer walk-off is different, a big walk-off still slams more, "he said," running the basics, I did not even remember hitting a circuit to be honest. "
C & # 39; was the first Boston end slam in innings since Hall of Fame since Jim Rice on July 4, 1984, and Bogaerts The third goal of the season

Craig Kimbrel (2-1) pitched 10th for the win
Rodriguez, who allowed four hits with five strikeouts and no walks in 5 innings and 1/3, arrived at nearly the same time as Gurriel and managed a wild pitch from first baseman Blake Swihart. The southpaw was in the running with three scoreless starts, covering 19 innings.
Kevin Pillar, the Blue Jays center fielder, left the game with a collarbone injury after diving on Holt's little fly before throwing. "
" He is in the hospital being controlled right now, "Gibbons said.
