Carlos Narváez delivered his first career pinch hit with a tiebreaking, bases-loaded single in the fifth inning. Trevor Story hit a 306-foot fly down the right-field line that glanced off Jhonkensy Noel's glove and struck the foul pole after a crew chief review overturned the initial foul call. Romy Gonzalez added an RBI single and the Red Sox won 6-4, improving to 77-62 and winning nine of 12. Brayan Bello allowed three runs over five innings. Aroldis Chapman secured his 28th save and extended a 16-game hitless streak. Kyle Manzardo hit a solo homer for Cleveland.
Carlos Narváez had his first career pinch hit, a tiebreaking single in the fifth inning, Trevor Story had a strange homer that ticked the right fielder's glove and then the foul pole, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-4 on Monday. Romy Gonzalez added an RBI single for the Red Sox, who won for the ninth time in 12 games to improve to an AL-best 35-18 since the beginning of July.
Narváez, a right-handed hitter, singled inside the first-base bag off lefty reliever Erik Sabrowski (0-1) with the bases loaded, making it 5-3. Brayan Bello (11-6) worked through five innings, giving up three runs on six hits with four strikeouts and three walks. Aroldis Chapman, who finalized a $13.3 million contract extension Sunday, got the final three outs for his 28th save.
Story made it 6-3 in the sixth before Manzardo homered to right. Facing right-hander Jakob Junis, Story hit a 306-foot fly down the right-field line, where Jhonkensy Noel tried for a leaping catch. The ball ticked off Noel's glove and then the pole as Story stopped at second and the umpires gathered to discuss the play. It was overturned from being called foul after a crew chief review.
