Red Sox Edge Giants in Two Late-Game Wins

According to ESPN, Boston rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to complete a sweep of San Francisco with a 5-4 win. After Giants catcher Jonah Cox opened the scoring with a solo homer, Nick Sogard answered with his second career homer, blasting a 3-2 fastball from Matt Wilkinson 415 feet over the Green Monster. Ceddanne Rafaela added an RBI single in the third, and Connor Wong tied the game with an RBI double. Mickey Gasper’s double gave Boston the lead, and Rafaela’s later single provided insurance. Boston starter Jake Bennett (8-6) allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits, while the Giants’ bullpen kept the contest close. A late-inning error by Giants infielder Andruw Monasterio allowed Christian Koss to score on a “Little League” style homer, narrowing the margin before Aroldis Chapman secured his 29th save. Giants outfielders Willy Adames and Victor Bericoto left the game with elbow and knee injuries, respectively.

ABC News reported that Boston won a second matchup 3-2 after a dramatic ninth-inning rally. With two outs, Wilyer Abreu hit a hard grounder that first baseman Bryce Eldridge stopped before throwing home. Umpire James Hoye ruled Eli White safe at the plate after a video review, delivering the winning run. The Giants challenged the call, but the review upheld the decision, prompting a second celebration. Earlier, Giants shortstop Willy Adames hit a solo homer over the Green Monster. Boston’s comeback began when Nick Sogard’s RBI double tied the game, and Eli White’s earlier run-scoring single set up the final rally. Wyatt Olds earned the win for Boston, while Sam Hentges (1-6) took the loss for San Francisco. Giants designated hitter Rafael Devers, recently acquired by San Francisco after a trade with Boston, was booed by the Fenway crowd and went 0-4 with a walk.
