Bogaerts' Single Helps Red Sox Beat Giants In 10th
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Xander Bogaerts hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the top of the 10th inning, and the Boston Red Sox snapped the San Francisco Giants' five-game home winning streak with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night.
The Red Sox loaded the bases against Santiago Casilla (1-1), who struck out two in a perfect ninth before running into trouble. Bogaerts also had a third-inning RBI single in Boston's first visit to San Francisco in nearly three years.
Dustin Pedroia extended his majors-best hitting streak to 14 games with an eighth-inning single, while David Ortiz's streak ended at 13 after his tying groundout as a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Pedroia also has hit in 11 straight road games.
Junichi Tazawa (1-1) pitched the ninth for the win and Craig Kimbrel closed it out for his 14th save.
