Red Sox Thwart Guardians, 5-4
Fans were not deterred by the threat of rain. They came to see their hometown Boston Red Sox take on the Cleveland Guardians.

The Boston Red Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians, 5-4, in part because of shortstop Christopher Morel. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. Boston reliever Johnny Cueto picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. Jose Suarez was tagged with the loss. Edwin Díaz picked up the save, his 4th.

The Red Sox got a big at-bat from third baseman Anthony Rendon. For the game, Rendon was 1 for 3 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fourth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 1st home run of the season gave Boston a 3-1 lead.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Morel.

Boston is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 6th in 20 games.
