John Farrell started Xander Bogaerts at third base in Game 5 of the ALCS on Thursday night in an effort to "throw him into the fire."
The youngster responded by going 1-for-3 with a double as the Boston Red Sox took a 3-2 lead over the Detroit Tigers.
Bogaerts, who turned 21 on Oct. 1, became the youngest player ever to start a postseason game for the Red Sox.
