Red Sox Bench Shines in Cincinnati

It's March 30th, this is Boston Red Sox News today, powered by AI, your team, your

update.

Despite losing their first three games to the Reds in Cincinnati, the Boston Red Sox

found a bright spot in their bench players who delivered key hits and runs.

Marcelo Mayer sparked things Friday with a pinch hit double that led to a run, then added

a single and another score after staying in the game.

On Saturday, Masataka Yoshida drew a pinch hit walk, and Sunday he started in left field,

walking twice more in three trips to the plate.

Connor Wong got his first start behind the plate and ripped a single plus a sharp double

twice what he managed all spring.

Andrew Monasterio kept it off in his Red Sox debut Sunday with a pinch hit double replacing

Mayer.

These efforts from the bench highlight real depth with guys ready for big league action

any time.

Mayor's hustle shows he's primed to lock down second basemost nights.

Now the Sox had to face the Houston Astros starting Monday at Dyken Park, where that bench

strength could keep paying off.
