WATCH: Christian Vazquez walks it off in the 13th, Red Sox take a 2-1 series lead

The Red Sox are officially fun again. In less than one week, they’ve managed to shut up every critic who spent the entire second half claiming they were dead in the water after the trade deadline. Kyle Schwarber is hitting clutch postseason dingers while Anthony Rizzo watches him from the couch. It’s a beautiful thing.
