As most of you know, Lefty and I moved yesterday. It was a day that played out like a Greek Tragedy, and being completely devoid of energy today and not having seen a pitch of the game yesterday, I was unable to blog last night’s 4-3 victory over the Yankees in a timely fashion. But here is a lighting-round recap of what happened, in no particular order:

1. Sox won.
2. Ortiz homered, which gives him 495 on his career.
   
3. Eduardo Rodriguez had a shaky start, but got big outs in big spots to limit the damage and earn the win.
4. Jackie Bradley Jr. continued to be ridiculous in the field, gunning down a run at the plate with a 92 MPH, 246 foot throw from left (according to statcast).
   
5. Mookie hit a two-run dinger.
6. Jean Machi did his damnedest to blow the save, but was unable, giving the Sox the win.

Notes:

-Ortiz now has a good chance of hitting #500 this season. I really hope he does so Don can call it. It only seems right.

–De Aza was traded to the Giants.

-When Hanley comes back from his latest injury, it won’t be in the outfield. It seems like he’ll be playing first from here on out. On nights he feels like playing, that is.
