RED SOX POSTCAST: An Extra-Inning Win on the Road; That's a 1st for the '25 Sox

The Red Sox (55-49) finished up their 6-game road trip out of the all-star break with a 9-8, 11-inning victory over the Phillies Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. The Sox finished 2-4 on their trip and had to win the finale in Chicago on Sunday and the finale in Philly Wednesday night to avoid series sweeps. Carlos Narvaez broke a 7-7 tie with a 2-run Home Run in the top of the 11th. Brennan Bernardino got the final out in the 11th inning to close the door on the Phillies. It's the 1st win in extra-innings (1-7) on the road for the Red Sox. ----- Sox at the Dish: For the 2nd straight night, the Red Sox didn't manage a single base runner over the 1st 3 innings. Jesus Luzardo struck out 5 and threw 30 total pitches in retiring the 1st 9 hitters of the game. Rob Refsnyder led off the 4th with a walk to become the Red Sox 1st base runner. The Sox went in front in the 5th with 6 runs (all with 2 outs) against Luzardo. Refsnyder and Jarren Duran both walked with the bases loaded and then Romy Gonzalez broke out of an 0-for-20 slump with a Grand Slam that put the Sox up, 6-5. Trevor Story put the Red Sox up 7-6 with an RBI Double in the top of the 10th. Carlos Narvaez hit a 2-run Homer in the 11th to put the Sox up by 2 runs. -----
