Red Sox beat the Orioles 1-0 on Gasper’s 1st-inning homer; benches clear in the eighth
In a thrilling Friday night game, the Boston Red Sox secured a 1-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, thanks to Mickey Gasper's first-inning home run. Ranger Suarez, the Orioles' pitcher, allowed five hits over seven innings but did not make it to the eighth. The game saw benches clear after a contentious play in the eighth inning.
Garrett Whitlock, the Red Sox reliever, was instrumental in the eighth, executing a double play that ended the inning. Garrett's performance was part of his impressive season, as he has struck out three in six innings and is now 32 for his career. The Red Sox improved to a 2-0 record in this four-game series.
