Sox`s first pinch HR of year lifts strong Porcello
(MLB.com Boston Red Sox)

Rick Porcello allowed just one run on two hits and fanned a season-high 10 batters over seven stellar innings, but playing in a National League park and his spot in the order coming up in the eighth, manager Alex Cora did the conventional thing by turning to a pinch-hitter. Brock Holt then did something that is not conventional for him, absolutely unloading for a solo homer against Phillies righty Tommy Hunter that snapped a tied ballgame and sent Boston to its MLB-leading 86th win.
