Grand slam in 10th lifts Red Sox over Blue Jays
BOSTON — Xander Bogaerts relaxed to the beat of his favorite walk-up song. Three pitches later, he was stunned by excitement rounding the bases.
Bogaerts hit a game-ending grand slam with one out in 10th inning, and J.D. Martinez hit his major league-leading 29th homer to carry the Boston Red Sox to a 6-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
Mookie Betts opened the winning rally by reaching on an error by shortstop Lourdes Gurriel. Brock Holt had a hit-and-run single and Martinez was intentionally walked before Bogaerts hit his shot to left-center.
He said he barely recalled running the bases.
