the gang’s all there

They played a wild one at Fenway Park in Boston on Saturday night, and a host of former Mississippi Braves contributed to the craziness of Kansas City’s 10-9, 12-inning victory. Mauro Gomez, filling in at first base for the traded Adrian Gonzalez, belted his first career home run, helping the Red Sox overcome a 3-0 deficit en route to a 9-3 lead. Gomez went 4-for-6 with three RBIs all told, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia had two hits and an RBI for the Red Sox. But KC rallied. Its bullpen, including Tim Collins and Francisley Bueno, held Boston scoreless over the last eight innings of play. Jeff Francoeur scored the game-winning run in the 12th. Bueno, who worked 1 2/3 innings, notched his first career win.
