BOSTO토토분석까페N -- It was already a Fenway day that Red Sox fans won't soon forget, filled with emotion an프로토분석까페d civic pride.But with four outs remaining, Bosto축구승무패n -- as the home jerseys uniquely stated on the front for Saturday's game -- needed a big hit to make it a w스포츠토토inning day.
And Daniel Nava provided i토토분석까페t, clocking a three-run homer into the Boston bullpen, fuelin프로토분석까페g a 4-3 victory by the Red Sox, who have won seven in a ro축구승무패w.
"Just a fantastic finish to a great da스포츠토토y, from the tribute before the game, the many that were acknowledge토토분석까페d, to the way we went out and played," said manager John Farrell. "We felt the fan프로토분석까페s' presence, there's no doubt. I'm sure everyone can probabl축구승무패y pinpoint to a different moment inside today as bein스포츠토토g a highlight. I just think the entir토토분석까페e atmosphere, the setting, coming off of what this city's coming of프로토분석까페f of, today was very well don스포츠토토e."
And Nav축구승무패a created the indelible baseball highlight.
When the switch-hitter stepped to the plate against Kelvi토토분석까페n Herrera with two outs in the eighth, the Red Sox were dow프로토분석까페n 2-1.
But Nava absolutely unloaded, giving the Fenway fans one more reason to roa축구승무패r.
"I didn't do my job today, that's al스포츠토토l," Herrera said. "A changeup, I just left in the middle. I missed the location and I paid the price."
It was sweet redemption for Nava, who was picked off at second in the seventh when Boston was trying to rally.
"I was stepping in the bo토토분석까페x just trying to put the baserunnin축구분석g mistake behind me and move on," Nava said. "And understanding the importance of today's game, I was prett농구분석y frustrated myself, because that was a chance [in the sevent야구분석h] to get things going. For that to happe배구분석n, I wasn't trying to do it. Thank God it worked out the way it did, because I didn't plan tha스타분석t."
When Nava connected wit무료픽h the 1-1 changeup, he yelled "stretch," hoping the bal축구픽l would have enough distance to give the Red Sox and their fans what they neede야구픽d.
"Fortunately it got out," Nava sai스타픽d. "Knowing everythin배구픽g that went into today an농구픽d the importance, not just for the city, b토토분석ut each person that was impacte토토d, it's something that for us to get the win, whether it was me or anyone coming through, it was something that we all wanted to d토토분석까페o. We got it and we got it in a special way, special fashio프로토분석까페n, so it makes it that much more exciting."
New Yorkers can relate to the moment. In the first game played i축구승무패n New York after 9/11, Mike Piazza came through with a game-winning blast that sent Shea Stadium to the highest of decibe스포츠토토l levels.
This was the first home gam토토분석까페e for the Red Sox since the tragic bombings at the Boston Marathon killed three people and injured 176 others.
"I wasn't running the base프로토분석까페s thinking everything I mentioned before. I was thinking more about the significance of us coming back in the game, just how much adrenaline yo축구승무패u got," Nava said. "Now after that, I started thinking about it. Hitting a hom스포츠토토e run or winning a game is obviously nice, but the people that lost their lives and stuff like that, a home run doesn't bring the people that they lost back, but I think maybe getting a win at least maybe takes their min토토분석까페d off it for a split second or two. And if we can do that, it's something we try to do."
After a stirring pregam프로토분석까페e tribute, capped with David Ortiz reminding everyone that "This is our … city", the Red Sox turned their attention to baseba축구승무패ll.
It was another terrific performance by Cla스포츠토토y Buchholz, who went eight innings while scattering eight hits but just two runs. The righty walked one and struck out si토토분석까페x.
"Pretty emotional," Buchhol프로토분석까페z said. "It's fun to be a part of. At times, it's tough to restrain yourself, getting into everything that was going on. It was awesom축구승무패e that the game could finish that way. I don't think you could have written it an스포츠토토y better."
Buchholz and James Shields engaged in just the type of duel you'd expect between two of the best right-handers in the American L토토분석까페eague.
The Royals went in front first in the top of the fifth on an RBI single by Jeff Francoeur. That rally was started by a double from Lorenzo Cain, who had a monster day, going 4-fo프로토분석까페r-4 with two doubles and a homer.
After being completely stifled by Shield축구승무패s through the first five, the Sox put something together in the sixth.
"No wonder we couldn't hit early," said catcher David Ros스포츠토토s. "I don't think anyone stopped crying until the fifth inning."
Jacoby Ellsbury le토토분석까페d off the sixth-inning rally with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Shane Victorino. Ellsbury took third on a groundou프로토분석까페t by Dustin Pedroia. Up stepped David Ortiz, who belted an RBI single up the middle to tie the game at 1.
It was just the third at-bat of the season for Orti축구승무패z, who spent the previous eight months working his way back from right Achilles' heel issues.
"I have been in a lot of great moments here in Bost스포츠토토on and a lot of emotional situations, but I think today was different, because w토토분석까페e haven't been through what we had this past week," Ortiz said. "And driving around and looking around and just looking at people's faces, it was a very emotional day here. Just looking at those guys that were injured by this bomb going of프로토분석까페f and watching the news pretty much every day about the whole situation, it's painful. It's painful."
But perhaps baseball can be therapeuti축구승무패c.
The Royals moved right back in front in the seventh. Again, it was Cain who started things off with a double. With two outs, Salvador Perez laced one to right that got pas스포츠토토t Victorino and into the corner for an RBI triple.
Victorino later left the gam토토분석까페e with lower back tightness.
The seventh seemed liked the inning the Sox would move back in front. Nava led off the inning getting hit by a pitch and Will Middlebrooks followed with a singl프로토분석까페e. But as Stephen Drew missed a bunt attempt, Nava strayed too far off the base and got picked off. He was peeved.
"It was uncalled for," Nava said. "You can't le축구승무패t that happen. I knew they were going to keep me close. Knowing that, I was thinking, 'I've got to get a pretty good jump.' It shouldn't ha스포츠토토ve happened. That's the long and short of it."
In the en토토분석까페d, however, Nava made things righ프로토분석까페t for a crowd of 35,152 that buzzed with support throughout the day.
"It was a complete emotional roller coaster, to where we have a moment of sile축구승무패nce for the people that aren't here to a couple seconds later applauding the heroes," said Jonny Gomes, who helpe스포츠토토d set up Nava's homer with a pinch-hit double. "And then a baseball game breaks out."
