Boston Red Sox power past low-flying Blue Jays: 3 clutch moments

Mitch continues to give us more

Hanley Ramirez who?

The Boston Red Sox decision to re-sign Mitch Moreland and eventually release Ramirez is paying off big time.

In a season in which he made his first All-Star game, Moreland continues to come through for the Red Sox when games are on the line.  On Tuesday night, the veteran first baseman made Craig Kimbrel’s blown save a distant memory by delivering a three-run shot in the 10^th to put the team back up 8-5.

The one-out blast off Blue Jays reliever Ken Giles ended up being the difference maker as Toronto was able to get two runs back in the bottom of the 10^th inning.

Following the game, Moreland said he was sitting on a fastball and got it from Giles, who gave up a triple to Mookie Betts and walked Andrew Benintendi prior to Moreland stepping to the plate.

"“I figured he was trying to get ahead,” Moreland said.  “I got a fastball that kind of split the plate in half and that was it.”"

Overall, Mitch Moreland drove in four runs on the night.  He continues to be a timely hitter for the Red Sox and a nice veteran leader for the younger players on the team.
