Boston Red SoxvsMiami Marlins
BOS 4/MIA 2
Things to say
The Red Sox beat the Marlins 4-2 in Miami on Sunday.
01
opener
Sox took it 4-2 down in Miami. Quiet game for a while, then Boston pushed a couple across late. Marlins just couldn't string anything together.
02
key player
Boston's starter was the story. Got into his stuff early, worked deep, and kept the heart of that Marlins order off balance all night.
03
hot take
Honestly Miami's fine at 67-65, but they leave too many guys on base. That's a lineup that scares nobody right now.
04
deep cut
Getaway day in Miami and the bullpen barely got touched. Red Sox basically rode the starter and handed it off clean at the end.
05
exit
Anyway, Boston's rolling at 72-59. Real question is whether they can keep it up in the AL East grind. We'll see.
The recap
Boston went into loanDepot park and grabbed a 4-2 win on a getaway day, quietly stacking up the runs while Miami's bats never really got going. The Sox lineup did just enough against the Marlins' pitching, and the bullpen slammed the door to protect the two-run cushion late.
Miami hung around at 2, but they couldn't push across the equalizer when it mattered. Boston keeps rolling at 72-59, and the Marlins drop back to a game over .500.
