Trailing 5-0 the Red Sox put up 6 runs in the 5th inning, capped off by Gonzalez's 3-2, 2 out grand slam, his 6th of the season.

Gonzalez shouldn't have even been to the plate, as Jarren Duran popped up behind the plate, but J.T. Realmuto, the Phillies catcher lost the ball in the night sky and the ball landed in foul territory behind the plate. Duran then walked, driving in  a run.

Narvaez ended the night, 2-5 with a double to go along with his 9th homer.
