Busch collects three hits with a double
Michael Busch went 3-for-4 with a double and a sac fly against the Red Sox on Friday. Busch didn’t hit the ball very well tonight, but he hit it to all of the right spots. His double, which barely qualified as a hard-hit ball at 95.1 mph, would have been an out if not for the Green Monster. One of his other hits was a dribbler down the third base line that just would not go foul. Busch will take it; he came into this one 0-for-15 with nine strikeouts in his previous four games.
O’Neill collects two hits, including homer
Tyler O’Neill went 2-for-4 and homered for Boston’s lone run against the Cubs on Friday. Drawing comparisons to Mike Trout, O’Neill has eight homers and nine RBI this year. It’s hardly all his fault, as 45 of his 74 plate appearances have come with the bases empty. They all did tonight, as Jarren Duran was 0-for-4 from the leadoff spot ahead of O’Neill batting second.
