Matt Schreiber and Tyler Danish each pitched a scoreless inning. Ryan Brasier allowed a run on 2 hits in the 9th inning.

Rafael Devers was 2-3, hitting his 12th homer of the season and drive in 2 runs.

Franchy Cordero, dubbed by Red Sox announcer Joe Castiglione the "Sunday Slugger" hit his 3rd homer a 3-run shot in the 6th inning to give the Red Sox a 4-1 lead. All 3 of Cordero's home runs have come on Sundays!

Bobby Dalbec had a double.
