Painful loss for Red Sox, Farrell

That happened before second baseman Dee Gordon tripled to lead off the 10th inning and scored on a subsequent RBI single by first baseman Justin Bour to lead Miami to a 5-4 victory.

Gordon led off the inning with a triple to left-center. “In that situation (in the 10th), the pressure is on the pitcher”.

On Sunday, Bradley made an over-the-shoulder catch steps away from the wall in center field against the Tigers. Breslow gave Sox fans slim hope with a strikeout to Dietrich, but Bour ripped a game-winning, walk-off single to drove home Gordon and send the Miami fans home happy.

Miami trailed 4-0 in the middle of the sixth inning before rallying.

The Marlins have been playing some terrible baseball over the last three weeks, as they have slipped to the darkest depths of the majors, now holding the worst record in the MLB. Bryan Morris (4-3) was the victor, pitching an inning.

“To battle back from a 4-0 deficit was outstanding”, Marlins manager Dan Jennings said. Hechavarria put on a tough at-bat and tied the game at four with a sacrifice fly to right.

Boston added two more runs in the sixth, scoring on a bounced wild pitch by Nicolino, allowing shortstop Xander Bogaerts to score from third, and an RBI triple by right fielder Rusney Castillo.

But they let up, The fourth time through the order, the trio was silent, and Steven Wright had finally cracked after a night of hard contact gone unrewarded for Miami, surrendering two runs in the bottom of the sixth to get the Marlins on the board and cutting Boston’s lead in half. Wright has walked 14 batters in 29 1/3 innings since rejoining the Red Sox rotation after the All-Star break.
