In the first inning, the Red Sox quickly took control by scoring 2 runs off 4 hits. Alex Bregman was instrumental in this early surge with his consistent hitting prowess that set the tone for Boston's offense throughout the game.


Second Inning


The second inning saw both teams making significant plays. The Tribe responded with a burst of energy by scoring 3 runs on 3 hits, momentarily taking the lead. However, Boston countered effectively as they added another run to their tally through strategic base running and timely hitting.


Fifth Inning


By the fifth inning, Boston regained momentum with another impressive offensive display. They scored two more runs thanks to key contributions from players like Nathaniel Lowe and Trevor Story who capitalized on Cleveland’s pitching lapses.


Eighth Inning


As tensions rose in the eighth inning, both teams were determined to assert dominance. The G-Men managed one more run but couldn't close in on Boston’s lead due to solid defensive plays by Ceddanne Rafaela and Connor Wong behind home plate.


Ninth Inning


In a final push during the ninth inning, Aroldis Chapman secured his save opportunity for Boston by shutting down any potential comeback from Cleveland’s lineup. His precise pitching ensured that no further damage was done as he closed out what went wrong for Red Sox earlier innings defensively.
