Red Sox Triumphant, 9-3, at Citizens Bank Park
Philadelphia third baseman Miguel Vargas had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Vargas went 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once, even as Boston beat the Phillies, 9-3. Zach Eflin, the winning pitcher, is now 6-6. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 3. The first-place Phillies now sit at 68-52.

Boston used a clutch at-bat from Ceddanne Rafaela to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Red Sox ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"When you don't put the pitches where they're supposed to be, they hit you hard," said Philadelphia skipper Nate Rogers.
