For the first time since 2017, the Red Sox have won the Marathon Monday game! The script of today’s game felt really similar to the whole series. Score early, hold on for absolute dear life. Credit goes to Aroldis Chapman for taking down the revenge at-bat for Bobby Dalbec—that looked weird seeing him in another uniform. Dalbec striking out felt like a little bit of poetry. In any case, a 13th win of the season feels really good to keep holding serve in the AL East.

Walker Buehler (Win, 7.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 9 K)
His first inning was rocky but once he settled down, he was outstanding.
