During their multiyear malaise, the Red Sox have been defined by a void as much as anything else. An absence of adult behavior in adverse situations. To put it broadly, they haven’t just lacked a veteran voice in the clubhouse, but they’ve also been missing that guy who can go out on the field and lead the charge when things get sticky.
Tonight, Alex Bregman gave the Sox those things, and helped stabilize what was rapidly becoming a disastrous road trip.
On one hand, there are no big games in April, but some are still bigger than others, and tonight was kind an important spot for this team.
