 Rafi does it again. His 23rd of the year as he hooked the low liner well past the pesky pole deep into the grandstand. The Red Sox lead it 2-1. Joe Castiglione with the call yesterday. Boston now third here on the American League East, 53-42. After the game, Red Sox manager Alex Cora says Brian Bale was pretty good. He mixed his pitches. The fastball was good. The fourth-teamer, they mixed it up a little bit more and kept them on balance. I think since 18, Salvi always gets a homer.
