In Cleveland, the Red Sox secured a 7-3 victory over the Guardians, highlighted by Jarren Duran's historic steal of home—marking the first by a Red Sox player since Jacoby Ellsbury in 2009. Duran, who had been struggling against lefties, thrived against rookie Doug Nikhazy, contributing two hits including a crucial RBI single and a triple. Trevor Story also broke an 0-for-17 slump with an impactful RBI single. Walker Buehler delivered a solid performance, improving his season record to 4-1. Despite this win, the teams split the day’s doubleheader with the Guardians taking the first game 5-4. A decisive rubber match is set for Sunday, featuring Boston's Brayan Bello against Cleveland's Logan Allen.
