Gomes gave the Red Sox off

For a manager who treats information as if it were currency, John Farrell did not have much of it to work with.The Red Sox were in the ninth inning of a tight and tense battle with the San Diego Padres.The only run Volquez allowed was on a Jarrod Saltalamacchia double off the Monster in the fourth inning, and that was a result of some heads-up base running by Mike Carp, who saw Quentin struggle fielding the ball and scored from first.Red Sox Fanatics Shop

“I saw off the bat it had a pretty good chance of hanging up and I saw he wasn’t going to get it, took off, kept going, got a good read, it was nice,” Carp said.Daisuke Matsuzaka Jersey

When it cleared, Gomes had his sixth home run of the season as well as his sixth pinch hit homer of his career, and his second walkoff homer of the season, and it gave the Red Sox their eighth walkoff win of the season, a 2-1 victory over the Padres. “I was just lucky enough to catch one up,” Gomes said.David Ortiz Jersey
