Boston Red Sox will face the Cleveland Guardians in the deciding game of their three-game series at Progressive Field, with both teams having split the previous two games. The first game saw Cleveland prevail 5-4, while Boston responded with a 7-3 win in the second game, highlighted by Jarren Duran's rare straight steal of home. Notably, Triston Casas and Wilyer Abreu are absent from Boston's lineup, prompting manager Alex Cora to start Rob Refsnyder and Romy Gonzalez against left-handed pitcher Logan Allen. Brayan Bello, sporting a 1.80 ERA, will take the mound for the Red Sox, while Guardians' Logan Allen, with a 2.11 ERA, seeks to limit Boston's hitters, who have minimal experience against him.
