Red Sox Scores: May 17, 2017

Game No. 039

The Cardinals built up a solid four-run lead in the first two innings of Wednesday night’s game until the Red Sox started chipping away at it in the seventh. Jackie Bradley Jr.’s two-run homer and Xander Bogaerts’ two triples contributed to the closing of the gap, while Chris Young’s pinch-hit RBI single in the 13th inning would ultimately seal the deal for the Sox.

For every Red Sox game this season, @Amy Parker and I will be visualizing the final score. Our ground rules: scores must be posted before the first pitch of the next game and must represent the final score. New for this year: home games will be on a white background, away games on black, and the Red Sox will always be red.
