Quote to note

"That kid told [bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr.], 'I want to get in this game and be a hero.' Then he hit that ball, and the whole dugout, it was like we won the World Series. There was so much jumping around, it was great."
-- Francona, on Minor Leaguer Delvi Cid, who delivered a walk-off triple in Saturday's 4-3 win against the Giants
