The Boston Red Sox secured their fifth consecutive victory by triumphing over the San Francisco Giants with a 3-2 score on Friday night at Oracle Park.

With this win, the Red Sox improved their season record to 56-47, while the Giants slipped to 56-48.

Key Takeaway:

Continuing their impressive performance in July, the Red Sox started their West Coast road trip with a strong showing against the Giants, maintaining their winning momentum.

Pitcher Kutter Crawford played a crucial role, going 5 2/3 innings against a challenging National League team and playoff contender like the Giants. He conceded only one earned run off three hits before handing it over to the bullpen.

Star Performers:

Triston Casas played a pivotal role in securing the victory, contributing two RBIs with a solo home run and a double. His outstanding July form continued, adding to his .365 batting average for the month.

Kutter Crawford delivered a solid performance on the mound, holding the Giants to one run off three hits and a walk, striking out seven hitters in the process.

Rob Refsnyder emerged as the game-decider with a crucial pinch-hit RBI single in the eighth inning, a testament to manager Alex Cora’s strategic decision.

Wager Watch:

Adam Duvall exceeded expectations set by FanDuel Sportsbook, hitting his fourth double of the month and 13th of the season. A $100 wager on him would have resulted in a $510 payout.
