BOSTON (AP) — Alex Bregman legged out an hard chopper down the third-base line for an infield single with two outs in the eighth inning to drive in the go-ahead run, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians 11-7 for their third straight victory.
Jarren Duran and Trevor Story followed with RBI doubles off Cade Smith (6-6) for Boston’s second four-run inning of the game. Justin Slaten (2-4) earned the win with a perfect eighth inning.
Ceddanne Rafaela had two hits, including a two-run homer to tie the game in the bottom of the sixth after Cleveland scored six in the top half to take a 7-5 lead.
