## Resource

Curtis Mead’s Red Sox debut ended abruptly when he was hit in the hand by a pitch, forcing him out of the game—exact injury severity still unknown. Traded from the Nationals just days prior in a player swap, Mead was having a solid season before this, with 17 homers and 48 RBIs. Despite the scare, the Red Sox pulled off a 4-2 win thanks to Jarren Rafaela’s clutch grand slam in the sixth inning, their first run of the game. The victory gives them a 55-50 record and snaps a recent losing streak, while the Athletics fall to 44-62. Game 2 of the series is tonight—keep watching Mead’s status and how it impacts Boston’s momentum. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
