The game
The game was won by the Red Sox.
The players
The final score was 10-3, with the Red Sox winning by a comfortable margin. Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi were the star players for the Sox, each getting two hits and driving in two runs.Starting pitcher Chris Sale had a strong outing, pitching six innings and giving up just two earned runs.
The game was close early on, with the score tied at 1 in the bottom of the fourth inning. However, the Red Sox exploded for five runs in the inning, thanks to RBI hits by Benintendi, Betts, Xander Bogaerts, and J.D. Martinez. The Red Sox never looked back after that, adding four more runs in the next two innings to put the game out of reach.
The fans
The fans are always the true winners of any baseball game, but last night’s game was a particularly sweet victory for Red Sox fans. The home team came back from a 5-run deficit to win 9-8 in a come-from-behind thriller. It was a game full of excitement, anticipation, and tension, and the fans were on the edge of their seats the whole time.
It was a nail-biter of a game, and when it was all over, the fans went home happy. They may not have won the game on the field, but they won it in their hearts. That’s what being a fan is all about.
The umpires
On April 23, 2018, the Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles in a game that was decided by the umpires. The final score was 9-6, but it could have been very different if the umpires had made different calls.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, with the Orioles leading 5-4, Baltimore’s Trey Mancini hit a popup to shortstop Xander Bogaerts. Bogaerts lost the ball in the sun, and it fell to the ground for a hit. But umpire Manny Gonzalez called Mancini out, and the Orioles protested the game.
The call was overturned after a review, and Mancini was awarded a hit. The next batter, Chris Davis, hit a three-run homer to give the Orioles an 8-4 lead.
In the top of the ninth inning, with Baltimore still leading 8-4, Boston’s Eduardo Nunez hit a fly ball to left fielder Mark Trumbo. Trumbo bobbled the ball for a moment before catching it, but Nunez was called out on interference by third base umpire Gerry Davis.
The call was overturned after a review, and Nunez was awarded a hit. The next batter, Jackie Bradley Jr., hit a three-run homer to tie the game at 8-8.
The game went to extra innings, and in the bottom of the 10th inning, Baltimore’s Craig Gentry hit a fly ball to left fielder Andrew Benintendi. Benintendi caught the ball for an out, but Gentry was called safe on interference by second base umpire Joe West.
The call stood after a review, and Gentry was awarded a hit. The next batter, Manny Machado, hit a walk-off home run to give the Orioles a 9-8 victory.
