The Red Sox battled against Braves on Wednesday, but dropped a 9-7 loss in extra innings.
Here’s what happened.
The Big Picture
The Braves started strong in Tuesday’s back-and-forth marathon. Ronald Acuña singled. Two batters later, Austin Riley tripled to drive him in and start the scoring.
The Red Sox grabbed the lead in the bottom of the second behind Christian Arroyo’s 403-foot two-run homer. In the top of the third, the Braves took the lead again when Riley struck a 426-foot homer that soared out of Fenway to tie the game, and William Contreras ripped the second triple of the game for the Braves to drive in Matt Olson.
