Overview

  • Trailing 7-5 after Cleveland’s six-run sixth, Boston tied it on Ceddanne Rafaela’s two-run homer and took the lead in the eighth on Bregman’s infield RBI before Jarren Duran and Trevor Story added run-scoring doubles.
  • Red Sox starter Garrett Crochet endured a career-worst night, allowing four homers and seven runs over six innings, including three homers in the sixth.
  • Cleveland promoted George Valera, Jhonkensy Noel and right-hander Zak Kent with September roster expansion, and manager Stephen Vogt said a six-man rotation is under consideration to navigate 17 games in 17 days.
  • Mets rookie Nolan McLean improved to 4-0 by retiring his final 14 batters in a 12-5 win at Detroit, while Pete Alonso hit two homers and Juan Soto went deep for the fifth straight game.
  • In Denver, a benches-clearing confrontation after Rafael Devers’ first-inning two-run homer led to the ejections of Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland and Giants’ Matt Chapman and Willy Adames; San Francisco won 7-4.
