Willson Contreras drove in three — a first-inning single, an eighth-inning groundout, a ninth-inning single — and the Red Sox kept stacking. Boston led 2-1 after two and waited until the ninth to break it open, when Jarren Duran's three-run homer to right scored Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Marcelo Mayer. Eli Morgan faced eight hitters in the ninth: seven hits, four runs, no strikeouts. Ranger Suarez left after 4.1 innings and 81 pitches, and Garrett Whitlock got the win with a clean sixth.
