The Red Sox liked Zach Ehrhard so much that they drafted him twice. And he has been an on-base machine in his first professional season.

"His energy is very contagious," said Red Sox first baseman Abraham Toro, who also spent parts of three seasons as Bregman's teammate in Houston. "He's always talking about baseball. Even when the game's over, he's talking about baseball. And it makes you want to get better."

Specifically, Greg Weissert was handed the lead twice in extra innings, and both times he coughed it up. The crippling chaos canceled out both Carlos Narvaez’s go ahead hit in the tenth, and Kristian Campbell’s clutch home run to the opposite field in the 11th.
