The Red Sox were able to salvage the final game of their three-game set against the Phillies in Philadelphia, thanks to some extra-inning heroics from Carlos Narváez.

PHILADELPHIA — Instant reactions as the Red Sox (55-49) fight and claw to a landmark, sweep-avoiding 9-8 victory in a back-and-forth, dramatic game in which Carlos Narváez won it with a two-run homer in the top of the 11th inning:

On Tuesday, the Red Sox catcher was called for a catcher’s interference that scored a run in Tuesday’s 4-1 loss to the Phillies, a day after getting called for the same infraction that cost Boston the game the night before.

Crochet (12-4) allowed two runs in the first inning, then combined with Justin Wilson, Garrett Whitlock, and Aroldis Chapman to blank the Dodgers for eight innings.

Carlos Narváez hits a two-run home run in the top of the 11th inning to give the Red Sox a 9-7 lead

Carlos Narváez found redemption Wednesday night after two bizarre calls didn't go his way on back-to-back nights in Philadelphia.

Sneakily, the Boston Red Sox could use some help behind the plate. It isn't that Carlos Narvaez hasn't been excellent this season, but asking him to catch every single day isn’t a recipe for success in the short or long term.

Kershaw allows three runs in the second, including a two-run triple by Jarren Duran, as the Dodgers fall 4-2 despite early home runs from Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez.
