This one could have easily gone the other way.
Leading 3-2 in the top of the sixth, Milwaukee Brewers starter Freddy Peralta had Red Sox rookie Triston Casas down 0-2 in the count with two outs. Peralta had been terrific all evening, with a two-run home run by Alex Verdugo the only real blemish on his line, but Casas battled back and drew a walk to end Peralta’s day and give the Red Sox a small opening.
Unlike so many times over the past year, they wouldn’t let this chance slip away.
