Sonny Gray threw 6 innings and struck out 9 on 80 pitches — 54 for strikes. Willson Contreras provided the offense: a 2-run homer in the 6th, 110 mph off the bat, 435 feet, his 10th of the year. Seth Lugo matched Gray for five innings and then left a 90.6 mph sinker over the plate at 1-0. Both teams scored in the 7th — Jarren Duran's sacrifice fly for Boston, Jac Caglianone's 111.1 mph RBI double for Kansas City. Aroldis Chapman threw 14 pitches for the save, 10 for strikes. Gray left with a 2-1 lead, and three relievers protected it without allowing a hit.
