Red Sox 6, Blue Jays 2: Xander comes through in the clutch

Well, that was quite the day at Fenway. If you like being taken on a rollercoaster of emotions, this one was for you. It started off mostly positive despite a lack of offense because Eduardo Rodriguez was cruising in a way we haven’t seen much in his career. Then, things took a turn way downhill when the lefty sprained his ankle, forcing him to leave prematurely. Then, Joe Kelly would cough up the lead an inning later and things looked bleak. Not with this Red Sox team, though. Xander Bogaerts kicked off a ninth-inning rally to tie it, then he capped off the victory with a walkoff grand slam.
