CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The Red Sox jumped on Parker Messick early and beat the Guardians 6-4 Monday afternoon in Boston. Messick, making his 3rd big-league start, gave up 9 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks and a balk in 3.2 innings, taking the loss.

Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran gave the Red Sox the spark they needed with a 3-run inside-the-park home run at Fenway Park.

Amidst Alex Cora and the Boston Red Sox’s wild-card race in the American League, trading for catcher Ali Sanchez made sense for the veteran manager. After the Red Sox avoided a three-game sweep from the Pittsburgh Pirates, bouncing back with a 5-2 win on Sunday, Cora addressed the trade and the benefits of it.

Fenway Park produces home runs like no other ballpark. They don't get more Fenway than this. During the sixth inning of Monday's game between the Red Sox and Cleveland Guardians, Boston shortstop Trevor Story hit a fly ball down the right-field line.

On Sunday, Jarren Duran lined a pitch to center field that rolled, rolled, and rolled some more until it came to rest 420 feet away from home plate in the center-field triangle.

Jarren Duran made sure the Boston Red Sox avoided the sweep Sunday afternoon. Duran hit an inside-the-park home run in the fifth inning of against the Pittsburgh Pirates, which helped push the Red Sox to a 5-2 win at Fenway Park.
