The Red Sox are back home after a long road trip on the West Coast to face the New York Yankees in a three game series. Last night marked the first game at Fenway Park for Red Sox top prospect, Andrew Benintendi, and he certainly rose to the occasion with a multi-RBI game.
Benches cleared as tempers flared in the seventh inning, but the Red Sox were able to pull out the victory. The series also serves as three of the four final games of Alex Rodriguez’ career, who will play his last game this Friday before retiring.
I’m hoping to make more art of A-Rod over the next two games.
