The Red Sox took an early 2 run lead against the Phillies last night but they couldn't hold on to it. They ended up losing 5-2, dropping them seven back in the wild card race.
This afternoon they played a 12 minute game against the Royals.
Today was the day they resumed play of the 10 inning tied game from August 7th and initially, it looked like maybe it was going go a few more innings. The game started 4-4 in the top of the 10th with the Royals at bat. The first three Royal batters stuck out or hit into an out.
The Red Sox came up to bat and Benintendi promptly struck out.
Up came Vazquez and he promptly hit a double.
The Royals got a little nervous and decided that rather than pitching to Travis, they would put him on first base and try to get Holt to hit into a double play.
Holt had other idea and he hit a screaming line drive into left field that scored Vazquez and won the game.
It took all of 12 minutes and they gained back the half game they lost last night. They are now six and a half games behind the Rays and the Athletics in the wild card race.
Unfortunately, the Rays are playing a four game series against the Orioles and will probably win all of four of those games.
