They got some help from a Jordan Lawlar error, then picked up the go-ahead two-run single from pinch-hitter Nick Sogard.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_7snzoioug\">Fittingly, manager Alex Cora&#8217;s decision to insert Sogard for catcher Connor Wong got him to a major milestone: his 600th win as a big-league skipper.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_aw6xti4sh\">Cora came out of the gates roaring with a 108-win season in his debut with the Red Sox in 2018, capped off by a World Series victory. There have certainly been setbacks since (one-year suspension in 2020, back-to-back last place finishes in 2022 and 2023), but Boston is still glad to have Cora on its side.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_sffefnvt7\">With win No. 600, Cora joined Hall of Famer Joe Cronin (1,071 wins) and two-time World Series champion Terry Francona (744) as the only skippers to cross that threshold in Red Sox history.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_xtx3czi6d\">\u201cIt takes a lot of people to win games at this level,\u201d said Cora, per Ian Browne of MLB.com. \u201cTo win 600 games as a group since that first swing Mookie (Betts) took in Tropicana Field (on Opening Day of 2018) all the way until the last pitch by Chappy today, it takes a lot of effort, not only for the people in the clubhouse, but the trainers and the front office, and, more importantly, my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_f4rxbbrxt\">Cora signed a three-year extension last July that ties him to the Red Sox through the end of the 2027 season, which would be the year he&#8217;d almost certainly pass Francona for second if neither he nor the club decides to break off the relationship prematurely.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_e8x19guwm\">The skipper has earned himself a reputation among players as a players&#8217; manager, and reliever Garrett Whitlock reiterated that as he celebrated Cora&#8217;s accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_4ym84iutf\">\u201cIt\u2019s special,\u201d Whitlock said, per Browne. \u201cI think I speak for everyone here when I say he&#8217;s a people&#8217;s manager. We all love him, and we&#8217;ll go to war for him. So I couldn&#8217;t be happier for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_3z2ksvxt3\"><em><strong>More MLB: <\/strong><\/em>Royals Star&#8217;s Dominant Rehab Assignment Is Much-Needed Good News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday&#8217;s win against the Arizona Diamondbacks was monumental for the Boston Red Sox.
