The Boston Red Sox needed a lift in Monday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, and Xander Bogaerts was there to provide it.
With the Red Sox trailing the O’s 8-7 in the top half of the seventh inning, Boston’s shortstop walloped a solo shot to left-center field to even the score.
The long ball was Bogaerts’ ninth of the season and his first since Aug. 25.
