The Red Sox had failed to score in 10th inning. With the automatic runner at second base, David Hamilton struck out when he fouled off a bunt. Pinch hitter Romy Gonzalez flied out to center field. Ceddanne Rafaela grounded out after an intentional walk to Wilyer Abreu.

The Red Sox signed rookie phenom Roman Anthony to an eight-year, $130 million contract through 2033, spending some of the cash they saved by trading Rafael Devers away on a player they hope will be the centerpiece of the next generation of Boston stars.
