Red Sox can't hold lead as M's rally in big 8th
Hanley Ramirez belts a solo homer to left field and a fan struggles to secure the home run ball when it gets caught in the nettingMike Zunino created momentum with a solo homer to left. Price gave up four straight hits to start the inning before walking off the mound with a 4-2 lead. Matt Barnes came on in relief and struck out Seth Smith.
Red Sox manager John Farrell then went to Abad, who was acquired just one day earlier from the Twins. Cano belted the fifth pitch of the at-bat -- a curveball -- high and deep to right for a three-run shot that had a projected distance of 398 feet, according to Statcast™.
