The game was marked by an impressive offensive display from the Red Sox, who tallied 13 hits and capitalized on scoring opportunities throughout the game. Key innings for the Red Sox included the first and fourth, where they scored two and three runs respectively, setting a strong early pace. The seventh inning further solidified their lead with an additional two runs. Notably, Boston's hitters maintained a .325 batting average for the game, showcasing their ability to connect with pitches effectively.


Pitching also played a crucial role in securing victory for the Red Sox. Starter Kutter Crawford delivered an outstanding performance on the mound with an earned run average of 1.5 over six innings pitched, limiting Marlins hitters to a .143 batting average against him. Crawford's efforts were supported by a bullpen that managed to keep Miami at bay despite allowing two runs in later innings.

From an individual performance standpoint, Masataka Yoshida stood out by maintaining a .600 batting average and driving in one run over five at-bats. Tyler O'Neill also made significant contributions with his .500 batting average across four at-bats.


On defense, both teams played error-free baseball; however, it was Boston's ability to convert hits into runs that ultimately made the difference.
