Overview

  • The Red Sox dropped a 6-5 walk-off loss in 10 innings to Milwaukee, marking the Brewers’ first sweep of Boston this season and extending Boston’s longest skid to five games.
  • Manager Alex Cora removed starter Brayan Bello after just 77 pitches despite a 3-2 lead, a decision that Bello and analysts publicly questioned.
  • Boston’s lineup has produced minimal run support in recent contests, leaving the team four games below .500 and nine games behind the Yankees in the AL East.
  • At Citi Field, Andrew Benintendi matched a season high with four RBIs—singling home two, tripling, and homering—to power Chicago’s 9-4 win over the Mets.
  • White Sox reliever Miguel Castro exited with right knee soreness after covering first base, deepening concerns over Chicago’s already strained bullpen depth.
