The Braves got the potential tying run to first base with two outs.\u00a0Matt Olson hit a grounder\u00a0to Trevor Story, and the shortstop made a diving stop. Story\u2019s throw to first was a bit off the mark and appeared to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RedSox\/status\/1928629619999019323\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">pull Abraham Toro<\/a> off the bag. Toro got up and attempted to throw Luke Williams out at home, but the throw was errant, allowing the run to score. Boston manager Alex Cora challenged the call on the field, and the call was overturned. Olson was called out at first, ending the inning and the Braves\u2019 bid to close the gap on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat play he made, it was one of those, I hate to say it, but it was like, here we go again, right?\u201d Cora told reporters in Atlanta. \u201cAnd then we got the call, and it was like, okay, finally we got a break.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Toro was pleasantly surprised the call was overturned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought I had it. I thought I was on it, and then they called it safe,\u201d Toro told reporters in the visitors\u2019 clubhouse at Truist Park. \u201cWhen it got overturned, I was like, \u2018Thank God.\u2019 When they showed the replay, it was close, so sometimes it\u2019s hard to overturn, but I\u2019m glad they did.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The first baseman not only got it done defensively for the Red Sox, but Toro also went 3-for-4 from the dish with an RBI double.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, it feels great,\u201d Toro said of being able to contribute offensively for Boston. \u201cFor me, it was just trying to get on base and then the last at-bat, trying to drive the run in. It\u2019s a good feeling when you can execute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before Story made the diving play to prevent the Braves\u2019 run, the struggling veteran launched a two-run 431 feet to left to give Boston a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt just felt good to get one kind of in that fashion,\u201d Story told reporters in Atlanta after the win. \u201cIt\u2019s been a tough month for sure. Feels like six months, but I really felt better in the last few games. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last series, there won\u2019t be numbers to show for it, but just how I\u2019m feeling in the box, and the competition in with any at-bats I feel really good about. And even tonight on the other (at-bats). But, yeah, feeling better and just trying to keep it as simple as that and try to create some momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More Red Sox<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/2025\/05\/craig-breslow-issues-update-on-rafael-devers-fielding-saga\/\" class=\"featured-articles__link\" data-analytics-datalayer-category-type=\"MutlipleArticle_\" wp_automatic_readability=\"26\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Rafael-Devers-3-1-270x270.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tCraig Breslow Issues Update On Rafael Devers Fielding Saga<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tby Gayle Troiani<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3 Min Read\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/2025\/05\/red-soxs-kristian-campbell-set-to-make-first-base-debut-vs-braves\/\" class=\"featured-articles__link\" data-analytics-datalayer-category-type=\"MutlipleArticle_\" wp_automatic_readability=\"26\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kristian-Campbell-1-2-270x270.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tRed Sox\u2019s Kristian Campbell Set To Make First Base Debut Vs Braves<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tby Gayle Troiani<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2 Min Read\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are more notes from Friday\u2019s Red Sox-Braves game:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rafael Devers continued his torrid month at the plate with a two-run RBI single in the top of the ninth to extend the Red Sox\u2019s lead to 5-1.

Despite his solid defense in the field, the Red Sox\u2019s top prospect went 0-for-4 at the plate with two strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreat play,\u201d Cora said. \u201c\u2026 I think defense is not the problem. This kid, he gets it. He doesn\u2019t panic. \u2026 He\u2019s a big leaguer. He\u2019s a big part of what we\u2019re trying to accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Boston improved to 52-46 overall against Atlanta, including 10-5 at Truist Park since it opened in 2017.
