Talking Points: Swihart inside-the-park homer sparks rally

Share

STAR OF THE GAME: Blake Swihart

He's a catcher and he hit a leadoff inside-the-park homer, in extra innings. 

Convinced?

HONORABLE MENTION: Matt Harvey

The Mets' ace only lasted six innings, but dominated the Red Sox, allowing just two hits and no runs while fanning eight.

GOAT OF THE GAME: Carlos Torres

After closer Jeurys Familia shut down the Red Sox with a 1-2-3 ninth, Torres was rocked for three runs on four hits and a sacrifice fly in the tenth.

TURNING POINT: Swihart's homer snapped a 3-3 tie in the top of the 10th, setting the stage for a three-run inning for the Red Sox.

BY THE NUMBERS: The win improved the Red Sox to 9-6 in interleague play this season.
