10. Mitch Moreland walks off against the White Sox, giving Boston the 3-2 win.
At the time of writing, Mitch Moreland is the biggest, and only, signing the Red Sox have made this winter. That is not a bad thing, seeing how Moreland came up huge against Chicago in August.
This was another one of the marathon games the Red Sox played in. But compared to others, this was relatively short. The Red Sox outlasted the White Sox in eleven innings at Fenway.
The White Sox took the lead in the fourth on a Nicky Delmonico double, but it did not last long. The Red Sox tied the game only two innings later. However, the starting pitching in the game was the big story.
Carlos Rodon went 7.2 for the White Sox, striking out eleven while giving up two earned. Eduardo Rodriguez went 6 full for the Red Sox, allowing two earned runs on five strikeouts.
The game went scoreless from the 7th to the 11th, when Moreland finally delivered for the Red Sox.
The Moreland opposite field blast gave the Red Sox their tenth extra-inning win at the time, but it was certainly not the last extra-inning win they had.
The next game in the top ten was not nearly as close, but it did have a pretty cool moment.
