Fun fact, tonight's game, on Fox, will be called by Don Orsillo!

Fox is showing the Dodgers/Nats game here. Figures. Fox seems to avoid showing Red Sox games in the Midwest. :-\

Same here but they have the alternate Fox channel broadcasts on Direct TV (you may need the MLB package).

That was a very god win last night and we all should be pleased by it, coming on the road in extra innings against a good team that has given us some trouble for the past two-plus seasons.   The fly in the ointment is who we are pitching today.  Oakland can be a tough spot to put up a lot of runs and we have to hope it works against the home team as well because guess who is on the mound for us today?  None other than Garrett Richards who can't seem to get out of the first or second inning without putting in a big deficit.  Hopeful he can replicate what Eovaldi and E-Rodd have done fter a few tough starts, and, yes, the hitters on our club bring their bats with them to the ballpark to do some damage.

Yankees and Rays both lost today. Sox could really stamp their mark on the AL East with a win tonight.

[markj]

Kiki with a solo dinger. Sox up 4-2.

[markj]

BP blows another lead. Darwinzon couldn't find the strike zone with a compass and a map.

[markj]

Deep hole here. Bases juiced, one out. And Workman pitching. Not hopeful. They desperately need a DP here.

[markj]

And they got the DP! JD (really!?!) guns down the runner at home. Well done!!

[markj]

Workman gets out of another jam. Onward we go.

[markj]

Kiki with another RBI. Sox up 6-4.

[markj]

Verdugo with an 0-6 night. Not impressed. Need to hold this lead.

Andriese?!!? Where's Barnes?
