The Boston Red Sox demonstrated a commanding performance in their 10-2 victory against the San Diego Padres, improving their record to 65-52. Key contributions came from Masataka Yoshida, who broke out of his slump with a two-run homer, and Connor Wong, who had a bases-clearing double, significantly boosting his season total.

Starting pitcher Walker Buehler was stellar, throwing six scoreless innings and striking out four, further asserting his dominance over the Padres with a 1.67 ERA in his career against them. Wilyer Abreu also shone, hitting his 21st home run and making a spectacular catch in the outfield.
