After dinner, my wife and the kids went over to visit with her mom. I ate too much and stayed home and watched baseball.

Four+ hour baseball game this afternoon.
The Red Sox were up 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning when Tommy Pham of the Rays hit a home run off Matt Barnes, tying the game 3-3.
Barnes finished the eighth without giving up anther hit and in the ninth, the Red Sox brought in a kid named Walden that they just called up from Pawtucket on Friday. Walden pitched pretty damned well and the third baseman, Devers, managed to make the play of the day when he snagged a one-hop line drive, spun and made a bullet throw to first for the final out of the ninth.
In the tenth, the Red Sox had runners on first and second with two outs and they just couldn't get anyone to step on home plate.
Walden came back out to pitch in the tenth and made pretty quick work of the Rays.
In the eleventh, the Red Sox came up to bat and they played perfect extra innings baseball:
- Devers hit a single. Runner at first. No outs.
- Chavis, the new kid, walked. Runners at 1st and 2nd. No outs.
- Bradley laid a perfect sacrifice bunt down the third base line. Runners at 2nd and 3rd. One out.
- Vazquez hit a sacrifice fly. Devers scores. Runner at 3rd. Two out.
- Benintendi hit a roller to 2nd. Three outs.
- Gracia struck out. One out.
- Wendle hit a fly ball to center. Two outs.
- Lowe hit a line drive to first. Three outs and game over.
With that win, the Red Sox swept the first place Rays and they return home with a three game winning streak.
Tomorrow they start a four game series against the Tigers.
