The Boston Red Sox defeated the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Monday night behind a go-ahead triple by Anthony Seigler in the ninth inning. The Red Sox started a road trip against Sandy Alcantara, a former Cy Young Award winner still in his prime, with Ranger Suarez taking the mound for Boston.
The game was described as tense and back-and-forth, with the Marlins playing better than their recent history suggests. One outlet noted that Boston supporters made up more than half the crowd at the stadium. The victory was keyed by production from lower in the Red Sox lineup, aligning with reports that the rally was sparked by the bottom half of the order.
