But Taylor Walls grounded out to Ryan Noda on a nice defensive play to end the inning.īrent Rooker led off the bottom of the second with a bloop double down the right field line. Paredes advanced to third on the throw home. Christian Bethancourt drove Arozarena home with a sacrifice fly to right fielder Seth Brown. Isaac Paredes then doubled to left field. Randy Arozarena walked to lead off the second inning. Josh Lowe’s ground out to end the inning seemed rather boring comparatively speaking. Franco took off on Medina’s first motion, except that motion was a pickoff move, and he was quickly tagged for out number two. JJ Bleday took Wander Franco’s base hit and hurled a bullet to Jonah Bride nabbing Yandy Diaz attempting to go from first to third.

Anyway, Eovaldi has been dynamite lately and Boston's bats seemed to wake up in Game 2. Of course, the momentum was all on the Rays' side following the Luplow grand slam, which shows you what momentum is worth. They outscored Tampa 12-1 following Jordan Luplow's first inning grand slam in Game 2, including banging a franchise postseason record five homers. If you believe momentum matters in sports, it's all on Boston's side. A quick hook like the Wild Card Game is unlikely. The bullpen has been worked hard - it's unlikely Nick Pivetta (73 pitches in Game 1) and Tanner Houck (61 pitches in Game 2) will be available in Game 3 - so the Red Sox need Eovaldi to chew up innings and pitch well. Eduardo Rodriguez and Chris Sale combined to allow seven runs in 2 2/3 innings in Games 1 and 2.
