The Red Sox (55-49) finished up their 6-game road trip out of the all-star break with a 9-8, 11-inning victory over the Phillies Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park.  The Sox finished 2-4 on their trip and had to win the finale in Chicago on Sunday and the finale in Philly Wednesday night to avoid series sweeps. 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.

Bryson Stott hit the 4th Home Run of the night off Giolito in the 4th and that made it 5-0.  Giolito gave up 5 earned runs over his 4 innings of work. 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.
