Daily Red Sox Links: Andrew Benintendi, Mookie Betts, Craig Kimbrel

MLB: ALCS-Boston Red Sox at Houston Astros Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

Rob Bradford has the story behind Andrew Benintendi’s incredible catch to win Wednesday’s game. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)

That catch saved Craig Kimbrel from being the goat (lowercase g) of the game, and the Red Sox closer is going to buy something nice for his left fielder. (Christopher Smith; Masslive)

Evan Drellich argues that the classic game, and Red Sox win, was at least a little marred by the controversial fan interference call in the first inning. (Evan Drellich; NBC Sports Boston)

For his part, Mookie Betts says he is 100 percent sure he would have caught that ball. (Mark Dunphy; Boston.com)

The Astros had elite pitching all year long, and that is why they’ve gotten as far as they have. It has not shown up in this series. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

The Red Sox have obviously been incredible in this postseason, and one of the most impressive feats is that they are 4-0 on the road. (Ian Browne; RedSox.com)

Don’t sleep on Ryan Brasier’s performance in that game, either. He had a great inning when the Red Sox desperately needed one. (Greg Bedard; Boston Sports Journal) ($$)
