Red Sox Rally, but Lose in 10th to Diamondbacks
Arenado’s broken-bat bloop single capped a two-run 10th as Arizona avoided a sweep after Boston tied it with three homers.
On Wednesday, the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Boston Red Sox 7-6 in 10 innings at Fenway Park, with Nolan Arenado delivering a tiebreaking RBI single to avoid a series sweep.
Boston established an early 2-0 lead via solo home runs from Nick Sogard and Jarren Duran in the first and third innings respectively, capitalizing on favorable conditions.
Red Sox first baseman Mickey Gasper tied the game 5-5 in the sixth inning with a three-run homer, extending his power surge to three home runs in three consecutive days.
Arizona pushed ahead in the 10th when reliever Jovani Moran walked three consecutive batters, allowing Arenado's bloop single to plate Gabriel Moreno for the go-ahead run.
Boston's bullpen depth proved limited with relievers Garrett Whitlock and Justin Slaten on the injured list, while Arizona played without All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte for the third consecutive game.
