First Inning
The game began with both teams struggling offensively.

Boston’s starting pitcher managed to keep Baltimore hitters in check early on, allowing no hits or runs.

As the innings progressed, both teams found it difficult to break through each other's defenses. By the end of six innings, neither team had managed to score any runs despite several opportunities with runners on base. The Red Sox had five left on base situations by this point but couldn't capitalize due to some timely pitching from Baltimore’s bullpen.
Eighth Inning
The eighth inning saw some action as Baltimore finally broke through Boston’s defense with one run scored off two hits. This was followed by another run in the ninth inning for Baltimore, giving them a slight edge over Boston heading into what would be an intense final frame for both sides.
Ninth Inning
