Trevor Story snapped a scoreless tie with a bases-loaded double in the sixth inning, Garrett Crochet took a shutout into the seventh and the Boston Red Sox held on for a 3-2 victory over the visiting Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox, who managed just three hits, converted three consecutive walks for three runs in the sixth off Jacob Misiorowski (1-1) for a 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n
The Brewers answered with two runs in the seventh off Crochet (2-1), but stranded runners on second and third.<\/p>\n
Joey Ortiz singled to open the seventh and advanced on Sal Frelick\u2019s one-out single. Blake Perkins walked to load the bases and David Hamilton was hit by a pitch to force in a run.<\/p>\n
Zack Kelly came out of the bullpen, and pinch hitter Christian Yelich bounced into a run-scoring fielder\u2019s choice to pull Milwaukee within 3-2. Yelich stole second, but William Contreras grounded out to short to end the rally.<\/p>\n
Crochet allowed two runs on five hits in 6 1\/3 innings, striking out seven and walking two in a 107-pitch outing. Garrett Whitlock tossed a perfect eighth and Aroldis Chapman finished with a scoreless ninth for his third save in as many opportunities.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox managed just two hits through five innings off Misiorowski, along with a walk and a hit batter, before the hard-throwing right-hander lost command in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Misiorowski fanned Roman Anthony for his 10th strikeout to open the sixth, but then threw 11 straight balls and walked the bases loaded.<\/p>\n
DL Hall relieved him, and Story lined an 0-2 pitch to left for a two-run double. Caleb Durbin followed with a pinch-hit RBI groundout to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n
Misiorowski, who struck out the first five batters he faced, allowed three runs on two hits in 5 1\/3 innings, throwing 101 pitches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trevor Story snapped a scoreless tie with a bases-loaded double in the sixth inning, Garrett Crochet took a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":669403,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2401],"tags":[5,136,843,59,4280,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-669402","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-milwaukee-brewers","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-brewers","10":"tag-milwaukee","11":"tag-milwaukee-brewers","12":"tag-milwaukeebrewers","13":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116366604591530739","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669402\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/669403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
