Carlos Narvaez broke a 7-7 tie with a 2-run Home Run in the top of the 11th. Brennan Bernardino got the final out in the 11th inning to close the door on the Phillies. It's the 1st win in extra-innings (1-7) on the road for the Red Sox. ----- Going with Gio!: Lucas Giolito and the Red Sox trailed 3-0 3 hitters into Wednesday night's game.

He walked 1 and struck out 2 and took a no-decision with the Sox coming back to take the lead in the Top of the 5th. Giolito has worked 9.1 innings and allowed 9 earned runs in his 2 outings post all-star break. ----- Sox at the Dish: For the 2nd straight night, the Red Sox didn't manage a single base runner over the 1st 3 innings.

The Sox went in front in the 5th with 6 runs (all with 2 outs) against Luzardo. Refsnyder and Jarren Duran both walked with the bases loaded and then Romy Gonzalez broke out of an 0-for-20 slump with a Grand Slam that put the Sox up, 6-5. Trevor Story put the Red Sox up 7-6 with an RBI Double in the top of the 10th. Carlos Narvaez hit a 2-run Homer in the 11th to put the Sox up by 2 runs. ----- #'s of the DAY: It's the 4th Grand Slam this season for the Red Sox (Devers, 2. Abreu, 1.
