First Inning

The opening inning set an early tone as the Braves managed to score their first run. The Red Sox struggled to make an impact with no hits recorded in this period. Walker Buehler took to the mound for Boston but faced challenges from Atlanta’s lineup right from the start.

Fourth Inning

A pivotal moment came during this inning when Atlanta unleashed a four-run burst that significantly widened their lead. Despite having two hits in this inning, Boston could not convert these opportunities into runs. Abraham Toro contributed defensively with his perfect fielding percentage but offensively, like his teammates, he couldn't break through against Atlanta's pitching.

Seventh Inning

As both teams entered later innings, Boston continued to face difficulties at bat while managing only one hit during this segment. Nick Burdi stepped up as relief pitcher and delivered effectively without allowing any runs or walks during his time on the mound.

Ninth Inning

In what would be their final chance to rally back into contention, Boston’s bats remained silent as they failed to register any hits or runs in this closing inning. Meanwhile, Brennan Bernardino showcased strong pitching skills earlier by maintaining an ERA of zero across his appearances despite limited innings pitched.
