Red Sox Silence Guardians with Stellar Pitching and Timely Homers at Fenway

The Boston Red Sox improved their record to 10-9 after a commanding performance against the Cleveland Guardians, who fell to 12-6. The final score read 2-0 in favor of the home team, as the Red Sox pitchers combined for a shutout at Fenway Park.

In an impressive display of pitching, Tanner Houck earned his third win of the season for the Red Sox. Houck's mastery on the mound was evident as he pitched a complete game, allowing just three hits and striking out nine batters without conceding any walks. His ERA remained untouched at 0.0, and his WHIP stood at an exceptional 0.3333 after this outing.

The Red Sox offense may not have been prolific but it was efficient enough to secure victory. They managed five hits throughout the game; however, it was their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities that made the difference. A crucial home run contributed significantly to their two-run tally while they left only three runners on base.

Defensively, Boston was flawless with no errors recorded and twelve assists in total contributing to one double play that helped maintain their lead. The fielding percentage remained perfect at 1.0 by game's end.

On the other side, Cleveland struggled offensively against Boston's tight pitching lineup managing only three hits all game long with no runs scored across nine innings of play.
