Boston roared ahead, 8-0, with three runs in the second inning and five in the third. Ramirez homered in each inning and Travis Shaw contributed a second-inning round-tripper. But the Giants trimmed the deficit to 8-7, the highlight being a five-run, fourth-inning outburst that featured Mac Williamson's three-run homer and Trevor Brown's two-run drive.
But the Giants couldn't sustain their momentum. Boston blanked them in the sixth after they loaded the bases with nobody out. The Red Sox capitalized as Ramirez drilled his final homer of the evening in the sixth and Sandy Leon added one in the seventh.
