Sox needed a strong performance from Steven Wright and the bats in order to snap a 3 game losing streak. Wright struggled more than he has this season and was only able to pitch 5 innings, but he still kept his team out in front on way to his 6th win of the season. Xander Bogaerts got right back to his hitting ways with 3 hits in the game.
The first run of the game was scored by the Sox in the bottom of the 2nd inning when Blake Swihart hit an RBI single to score Travis Shaw.
