Strikeout for Pete Alonso vs #RedSox Greg Weissert! #Orioles leave 'em loaded.

#Orioles Pete Alonso is facing #RedSox Greg Weissert for the first time in his career.

#RedSox Greg Weissert loses Gunnar Henderson and bases are full of bird for slugger Pete Alonso.

57th appearance of the season for #RedSox reliever Garrett Whitlock who has pitched to a 2.19 ERA in 27 road game appearances (vs a 5.14 ERA in his home work at Fenway Park).

#RedSox Greg Weissert into the game and gets a quick second on a force out for #Orioles Blaze Alexander.

⭐️ Sonny Gray's is the 11th game in which a #RedSox starter worked 7+ shutout innings this season. In #MLB, only #Phillies have had more such starts in 2026 (13).

#RedSox Sonny Gray sets down #Orioles 1-2-3 on 11 pitches in the 7th. His night is done. Like Ranger Suarez last night, Gray finishes the game with 7.0 shutout innings of work.

Looked like a home run off the bat of #Orioles Samuel Basallo, but #RedSox Wilyer Abreu hauls it in. Left the bat with a .650 expected AVG.

Contact would have been a home run at 13 of the 30 #MLB ballparks.
