Last year or in 2023, Buxton admitted, he wouldn’t have stretched it to third base. So this? “It was fun. To be able to take that extra base, get to third knowing there was one out, that’s being aggressive,” Buxton said. “That’s a fun thing about being fast.”
Less fun: Keaschall struck out and after a walk, Ty France grounded out, leaving Buxton on base.
Carlos Correa led off the fourth inning by launching a fastball in the middle of the plate into the right-field seats, tying the game with his first home run of the season. An inning later, though, after Sale loaded the bases with another single by Buxton and back-to-back walks, Correa and Harrison Bader struck out against reliever Rafael Montero.
That opening proved fatal, because Simeon Woods Richardson, after falling behind 2-0 to Michael Harris, left a fastball low and inside. Harris, seemingly waiting for exactly that pitch, bounced it off the Chop House restaurant behind the right-field seats, flipping his bat in celebration after tying the game once more.
