Why Alex Cora Didn’t Mind Aggressive Red Sox Baserunning Mistake
What could have cut the lead down by one run for the Boston Red Sox turned into an out at home plate.
The Red Sox were down 3-1 to the Oakland Athletics with Jamie Westbrook on first base due to an error. Ceddanne Rafaela hit a double off the Green Monster off J.P. Sears who Boston was struggling to hit all night.
Westbrook and third base coach Kyle Hudson saw a chance for Boston to cut at Oakland’s lead. The second baseman rounded third and Hudson waved him home despite shortstop Max Schuemann having the ball in his hand.
