This past weekend’s series against the Red Sox was overall quite delightful. They opened the series with an easy, blowout win, took an embarrassing loss, and then bounced right back with another blowout win in primetime. One of the highlights was Friday night’s game, when Greg Bird stole the show.
In the 8-1 win over the Red Sox, Bird launched two powerful home runs. He knocked one off starter Eduardo Rodriguez and the off Justin Haley. Bird hitting the two home runs was a sight for sore eyes, and it was even better that they came off both a righty and a lefty.
