Red Sox 2, Astros 1: Roman reigns supreme
Craig Breslow sat on his ass on Thursday, but Cooper Criswell sure didn’t. Nor did Roman Anthony, who collected his first career walk-off hit to make it four walk-offs in the magical City Connects. I guess the magic persists even if you mix in a little blue (get it, because the jerseys are green now and they used to be yellow).
As a proud OG Big Crisp™ stan, I feel very proud to be writing this recap after he basically single-handedly kept the Red Sox in the game for seven innings (okay, some nice defense helped as well). I’m a proud witness of his only other career start in which he went at least seven innings, and tonight’s performance was almost a duplicate of his outing at Coors.
