Sox at the Dish: The Rockies took a 1-0 lead in the Top of the 2nd, but the lead was short-lived. In the Home 2nd Inning, Wilyer Abreu tied the game at 1-1 with an opposite field Double. Abraham Toro followed and put the Red Sox up 3-1 with a 2-run Double. The Red Sox added on with a little 2-out Magic in the Bottom of the 5th. Romy Gonzalez kept the inning alive with a 2-out Triple. Roman Anthony followed and hit a 2-run Homer to centerfield (418') to make it 5-1. It is his 2nd Big League Home Run and his 1st at Fenway. Anthony collected his 3rd hit of the game with a 1-out Single in the 7th and he scored all the way from 1st on a pinch-hit Single from Jarren Duran. Duran has hit safely in 8 straight games, and he scored on a Single from Carlos Narvaez. Ceddanne Rafaela and Romy Gonzalez capped the night for the Red Sox with both hitting solo Home Runs in the 8th.

Give 'Em The Fitts: Richard Fitts made the start in the series opener against the Rockies Monday night, and he ended up picking up his 1st Big League Win. The right-hander worked into the 6th Inning, going 5.2 Innings and giving up 3 runs (all 3 unearned) on 5 Hits. He walked 1 and stuck out 6. Fitts had gone without a winning decision over his 1st 11 Big League starts.

Leading Man: Adam Eaton hit leadoff for the 3rd straight game and went 1-for-3 with a Double before being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the 6th. Eaton was cut down on an attempted steal of 3rd in the 1st Inning. It's just the 2nd time (17-for-19) he's been caught stealing in the Big Leagues with the Royals and Red Sox.
