The Boston Red Sox showcased their aggressive baserunning with back-to-back steals of home plate, marking a rare achievement. On Saturday, Jarren Duran executed a straight steal of home, the first for a Red Sox player since Jacoby Ellsbury in 2009. The following day, Romy Gonzalez stole home, taking advantage of a defensive play when the Guardians' catcher, Bo Naylor, threw to second base.

Manager Alex Cora praised the players' awareness and instincts, which are essential for putting pressure on the opposing defense. Duran noted that this strategy reflects the team's aggressive style of play, contributing to their recent success, including a 13-3 victory over the Guardians. The Red Sox's accomplishment of consecutive steals of home is noteworthy as they are the first team to achieve this since the Marlins in 2020.
