The RailRiders kicked off this series against the Red Sox with a win after they put up five runs in the fifth inning. Ben Gamel finished the night a home run short of the cycle, and Aaron Judge and Donovan Solano both had multi-hit games. Half of the RailRiders' runs came off the bat of right fielder Cesar Puello who hit a three-run home run. Slade Heathcott also hit a sac fly to drive in a run.
As far as pitching goes, Tyler Olson (who came over from the Dodgers with Ronald Torreyes) started the game for the RailRiders.
