BOSTON — The Red Sox might’ve thrown away their season with a historically-bad July, but Xander Bogaerts is doing everything he can to keep them afloat.
On Thursday night, the franchise shortstop just about won the game by himself.
With the Sox trailing by a run in the sixth, Bogaerts wallopped an 0-2 slider from Triston McKenzie and sent it flying over the Green Monster for a three-run shot that led the local nine to an eventual 4-2 comeback win over Cleveland.
