Eli White Slides Home Headfirst with Winning Run, Play Reviewed and Red Sox Rally Past Giants 3-2
Eli White’s run-scoring single and headfirst slide capped Boston’s three-run ninth, and the Red Sox won 3-2 after a video review upheld the call.
- On Saturday night in Boston, the Red Sox erased a 2-0, ninth-inning deficit to defeat the San Francisco Giants 3-2. Eli White scored the winning run on Wilyer Abreu's fielder's choice, a play upheld after video review.
- Anchored by Blade Tidwell, the Giants held a 2-0 lead for most of the game. Tidwell struck out a career-high seven batters over 5 2/3 scoreless innings, keeping Boston's offense quiet until the final frame.
- Boston's rally began when Caleb Durbin drew a leadoff walk against Sam Hentges. Eli White then broke the shutout with an RBI single, followed immediately by Nick Sogard, who drove a game-tying double down the left-field line.
- With the bases loaded, Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge made a diving stop on Abreu's grounder but could not complete the force play at home. Umpire James Hoye ruled White safe, a decision that stood after video review.
- Red Sox left-handed pitcher Jake Bennett is set to start Sunday's series finale at Fenway Park. The Giants, who have lost 10 of their last 13 games, will look to salvage the matchup.
