CLEVELAND (AP) — Masataka Yoshida had the go-ahead single during a six-run seventh inning and the Boston Red Sox rallied for a 9-4 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday.

Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee left with a 4-3 lead after six innings and stood to earn his first win of the season, before the Red Sox broke through off three Guardians’ relievers.

Bibee (0-7) is the fourth opening day pitcher since 1901 to make at least 12 starts and not have a win before June 1 according to Sportradar.

Everyone in Boston’s lineup had at least one hit as it finished with 12. Jarren Duran had a leadoff homer for the Red Sox. It was the 10th time he has gone deep this season, with nine coming in May.

David Fry had three hits for Cleveland, which went 2-4 on its homestand. Austin Hedges drove in two runs.

The Red Sox sent 10 to the plate in the seventh. They had the bases loaded with two outs when Connor Wong drew a walk on a full count off Tim Herrin to tie it at 4-all.

Yoshida — who lost José Ramírez’s ball in the sun in left field before it dropped for an RBI double in the fifth inning — then followed with a two-run single. Isiah Kiner-Falefa had an RBI base hit off Codi Heuer and Caleb Durbin’s triple into the right-field corner drove in two runs.

Boston starter Ranger Suarez tied a season high with 10 strikeouts, but allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings. Jovani Morán (1-2) got the win and Colin Holderman (3-1) took the loss.

Bibee allowed three runs and six hits and struck out five.

Wong, Duran propel Red Sox over Guardians

CLEVELAND (AP) — Connor Wong and Jarren Duran drove in three runs apiece, Sonny Gray allowed one run in six innings and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Cleveland Guardians 9-1 on Saturday.

Caleb Durbin also drove in a pair of runs for the Red Sox, who won for only the second time in eight games.

Cleveland — which is 2-3 on its six-game homestand — committed a season-high four errors, including one by Jose Ramirez. The All-Star third baseman also accounted for the Guardians’ lone run with an RBI double in the first inning to drive in Travis Bazzana, who had a pair of doubles.

Wong hit the go-ahead double off the left-field wall off Cleveland’s Matt Festa (1-1) in the sixth. It was originally ruled a two-run homer, but instant replay overturned the call when it was determined the ball struck an area of the field that is in play. It would have been the Boston catcher’s first homer since 2024.

Boston put it out of reach with six runs in the ninth, including Duran’s line-drive, three-run homer.

Duran has eight home runs in May and is 12 for 34 with seven RBIs in the last seven games.

Gray (6-1) became the fourth AL starting pitcher this season to get four wins in May. The left-hander — who went 4-0 with a 2.00 ERA this month — allowed one run and four hits in six innings and struck out seven.

Cleveland rookie left-hander Parker Messick allowed one run in five innings and struck out four.

Durbin’s sacrifice fly drove in Andruw Monasterio to tie it at 1 in the fourth. He also had an RBI double in the eighth.
