Second to Fifth Innings


As play continued into these innings, both teams struggled to add more runs to their tallies. The Red Sox managed only three hits across four innings but were unable to convert these opportunities into runs due to effective pitching from Toronto's bullpen. Meanwhile, Boston's defense tightened up significantly after a shaky start, preventing any further scoring from the Jays during this stretch.


Sixth Inning


The sixth inning proved pivotal for Boston as they unleashed an offensive surge that would ultimately define their performance in this matchup. With six hits resulting in six crucial runs, including contributions from key players like Trevor Story and Jarren Duran who were instrumental in driving runners home, this rally shifted momentum firmly back into Boston’s favor.
