Willson Contreras Homers Against Former Team, Red Sox Win Series over Cardinals
Contreras matched a career high with four hits and three RBIs, leading the Red Sox to a season-high 9 runs and their second consecutive series victory over the Cardinals.
- On Saturday, the Boston Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 7-1 in St. Louis, setting a season high for runs. Willson Contreras drove in three runs against his former team while Ranger Suarez pitched six scoreless innings.
- Manager Alex Cora praised the offseason acquisition of Contreras, who was traded from St. Louis in December to stabilize first base. "We needed a right-handed bat, and we got more than that," Cora said.
- Suarez earned his first win in three starts, allowing three hits with six strikeouts. The $130 million free agent, signed in January, lowered his ERA from 8.64 to 5.02.
- Boston's offense relied on Contreras's two-run double in the fourth inning to break open the game. The team has won three of four after a 2-8 start, showing early momentum.
- The Red Sox host the New York Yankees at Fenway Park next week for the upcoming homestand. The Yankees enter the series on a five-game losing streak while Boston seeks to extend its recent momentum.
