Five Home runs for Boston Red Sox

In Game 1 of the American League Division Series, Tampa Bay Rays had outnumbered the Red Sox. Rays clinched the match by 5-0, leaving the Red Sox disappointed with their performance. But the atmosphere of the series changed on Friday night, as it was raining home runs for Red Sox. Interestingly, the match was happening at the Tropicana Field, Ray’s home ground.

In the first innings, it looked like the Rays would dominate yet again, as Jordan Luplow started the game with a grand slam. But after being defeated in Game 1, the Boston Red Sox men woke up on Friday, seeking redemption. In a demolishing performance, five Red Sox players smashed home runs.

Xander Bogaerts and Alex Verdugo started the home run campaign in the third innings.

Courtesy of their domination last night, the series is now tied between the two teams. In the series of five, the next two games are going to take place at Fenway Park, Red Sox’s home ground, and they have a huge advantage to turn it into a victory moment.

Do you think Red Sox would use the home-ground opportunity and clinch the next two matches? Or will the Tampa Bay Rays emerge victorious on enemy territory? Things would be crystal clear soon, as the two teams would now compete on Sunday.
