"How massive is this sweep victory at Camden Yards? It feels like it makes up for the two-game reverse sweep at Fenway Park during the Telethon last week. Thursday's matchup was definitely a battle, with Crochet finding himself in a few jams which he either got out of or got help to get out of. These are the games the Red Sox need to win to keep themselves in it."
"It takes wins like these to make it happen. Let's keep on keeping on. A solo homer to take the lead early? You bet. Multiple defensive web gems to help out Garrett Crochet? Absolutely. What a spectacular game for Story. Roman's contributions with the bat don't go unnoticed at all. A few hits of his own, drawing a walk in the 8th-and somehow advancing on a ground ball to first base-all to come home and score the game-winning run on Romy Gonzalez's RBI single."
"Gotta keep Aroldis Chapman fresh down the stretch, on comes...Steven Matz? OK! His second career save? You betcha! Congrats on the first big league hit for The Password! For Bregman, just a case of the bat going cold after being white hot in New York. For Eaton...why is he here? Was it just a rest day for Duran? For Narvaéz, this is par for the course in the second half of the season."
Red Sox completed a sweep at Camden Yards that provided crucial late‑August momentum to remain competitive in both the AL Wild Card and AL East races. Garrett Crochet worked through multiple jams, aided by defense including a pivotal 5th‑inning double play that kept the game tied. Story delivered both a solo home run and several defensive web gems. Roman scored the eventual winning run after reaching on hits, a walk, and advancing on a ground ball before Romy Gonzalez's RBI single. Steven Matz recorded his second career save. Several veterans, including Bregman, Eaton, and Narvaez, showed mixed production, with Narvaez's defense still strong.
