A crisp early pitchers’ duel is on tap as elite southpaws Garrett Crochet and Andrew Abbott trade zeroes through the first five frames. Abbott pounds the lower outside corner with his curve/change mix, but Boston scratches a lone run in the sixth when Trevor Story rifles a two-out RBI double off the left-field wall.
The game tilts in the seventh when Cincinnati’s pen replaces an efficiently spent Abbott. Wilyer Abreu ambushes a first-pitch fastball for a gap-shot triple, and Masataka Yoshida follows with a line-drive single. A sacrifice and a bloop by Marcelo Mayer plate a second run, pushing Boston ahead 3-1.
Crochet, meanwhile, owns the inner half with a riding four-seamer, fanning 10 over seven frames before handing the ball to a rested back-end trio of Whitlock, Chapman, and Weissert. Cincinnati claws one back in the eighth on Elly De La Cruz’s hustle double and Spencer Steer’s flare to right, but Chapman overpowers Tyler Stephenson to strand the tying run.
Boston tacks on an insurance run in the top of the eighth via Roman Anthony’s opposite-field solo shot off Emilio Pagán, and Weissert works a clean ninth, sealing a 4-2 Red Sox victory. Expect tight run prevention early, Boston’s deeper late-inning relief to be the separator, and Crochet’s strikeout stuff to neutralize Cincinnati’s left-handed thunder.
