In a stellar performance, Alex Bregman led the Boston Red Sox to a 7-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, going 5-for-5 at the plate with two home runs and four RBIs. This game marked a career high for Bregman in hits for a single game, breaking his previous record of four hits achieved multiple times. He launched a 366-foot homer in the third and a 403-footer in the seventh, significantly contributing to Boston's offensive surge.

Jarren Duran also made his mark by hitting his first home run of the season—a powerful 388-foot blast that helped put the Sox ahead early in the game. Meanwhile, Ceddanne Rafaela showed his defensive prowess, contributing with an RBI single and a diving catch that preserved the lead. Walker Buehler, on the mound, pitched five solid innings, allowing just two runs to secure the win. With a total of 12 hits and contributions from various players, the Red Sox offense appears to be awakening as they prepare for the series rubber match against the Rays.
