Overview

  • David Hamilton's third-inning solo home run, his first of the season, provided the only run in Boston's 1-0 victory over the Rays in the series finale.
  • Sean Newcomb and three relievers combined for a five-hit shutout, with Greg Weissert earning the win and Justin Slaten recording his second save.
  • The Boston bullpen dominated, retiring 13 of the final 14 hitters and striking out nine over 4 1/3 innings of relief work.
  • Alex Bregman missed the finale on paternity leave after a career-high five-hit, two-homer performance in Tuesday's 7-4 win that broke Boston's offensive slump.
  • The Red Sox return home at 10-10 after a 3-3 road trip, showing resilience after being outscored by 15 runs during the stretch.
