Guys, it’s a great day. The Red Sox have scored 37 runs in two games. The sun is shining. Boston is 8 games back from a wild card spot. There’s no need to dwell on the bad stuff. Let’s just talk about the good stuff that happened yesterday. There was a lot of it. I guess I’ll stick mostly to the extra base hits, because there were 11 of them.

But first, let’s start with the starting pitcher, currently mustachioed Wade Miley. He had 8 strikeouts in 7 innings, only allowing 4 hits. He only ran into a spot of trouble in the 3rd inning, after the Sox had scored their first five runs of the ballgame. It was one of his best starts of the year, and even on a day when Boston could’ve gotten away with a 10-run shellacking of its starting pitcher, it was a welcome performance.

PITCHERS	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	ERA
Miley	7.0	4	2	2	3	8	0	4.58

As for the offense. Keep in mind that the first 9 runs of this came against Felix Hernandez. 6 time All-Star, 2010 Cy Young winner, 2.14 ERA in 2014, owner of a 3.14 ERA coming into yesterday.

Bottom of the 2nd, 0 outs, 0-1 count, bases empty, 0-0. Pablo Sandoval hits a solo home run to the front edge of the black tarp in center field.

Bottom of the 2nd, 1 out, 1-0 count, man on 1st, 1-0. Jackie Bradley, Jr. hits a two-run home run to almost the exact same spot as Sandoval in center.

Mookie Betts, Brock Holt, and Xander Bogaerts all singled after that, and David Ortiz hit a sacrifice fly to left field. 5-0, Red Sox.

Bottom of the 3rd, 0 outs, 3-1 count, man on 1st, 5-2. Alejandro De Aza comes around on an inside fastball and sends it down the right field line and out of the park. Two -run home run.

Bottom of the 3rd, 1 out, 0-1 count, bases empty, 7-2. Bradley doubles with a fly ball to left that scrapes the Green Monster on the way down.

Bottom of the 3rd, 1 out, 0-0 count, men on 1st and 2nd, 7-2. Holt lines a double over the first baseman’s head into right, scoring Bradley from 2nd and Betts from first.

At this point, formerly mustachioed reliever Danny Farquhar came into the game to relieve Hernandez, who left with this box score:

PITCHERS	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	ERA
Hernandez	2.1	12	10	10	1	2	3	3.65

Still with one out, Ortiz hit another sacrifice fly to give the Sox their 10th run of the game. This one forced Austin Jackson back to the triangle and nearly gave Joe Castiglione a coronary. I can’t believe I fell for it (it’s classic Castiglione), but he shouted like it was the most obvious no-doubter in history only for…Jackson to catch it fairly easily. Unreal. He’s the best.

Bottom of the 4th, 1 out, 0-0 count, man on 2nd, 10-2. Blake Swihart pokes a double the opposite way to the gap in left-center to score Josh Rutledge.

Bottom of the 5th, 2 outs, 1-1 count, bases empty, 11-2. David Ortiz doubles off the Monster. Nothing else happened in this inning. I think Papi just wanted to get in on the extra base hit action.

Bottom of the 6th, 0 outs, 3-1 count, men on 1st and 3rd, 12-2 (Swihart had just singled in Rutledge). Bradley doubles again, this time off the right side of the Monster, scoring De Aza.

Betts drove in Holt on a ground out, and Ortiz singled home Bradley. 15-2, Red Sox.

Bottom of the 7th, 0 outs, 0-0 count, bases loaded, 15-2. Bradley doubles for the 3rd time, this time over Jackson’s head and off the wall in center field, scoring two runs.

Betts and Bogaerts each drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and a single, respectively. 19-2, Red Sox.

At this point, Tommy Layne arrived to remind us of how much he’s regressed, giving up 2 runs on Nelson Cruz’s 35th HR of the season and leaving a runner on base. Ryan Cook came in after that, and his second pitch was obviously taken deep to make it 19-6.

Bottom of the 8th, 2 outs, 2-2 count, man on 1st, 19-6. Swihart doubles to left-center again, off the wall, bringing Josh Rutledge around from first.

Bottom of the 8th, 2 outs, 1-2 count, man on 2nd, 20-6. Incredibly, Bradley hits his 2nd home run of the game, pulling it over the bullpen in right. Game, blouses.

I’m pretty sure that’s Robbie Ross, Jr. leaping to try to catch another home run.

Cook gave up another home run in the 9th, and 3 more runs would score, but Boston eked this one out 22-10. Why can’t every game be like this?

According to ESPN, Bradley’s day at the plate was the best of 2015 so far. What a game.
