Mickey Gasper was the central figure for Boston, homering in the second and sixth innings. His power kept the Red Sox in front at key moments, while Payton Tolle provided a steady start and Boston's bullpen held Miami in check for most of the night.
Gasper's homer gave Boston the first lead, but Leo Jiménez scored on Brian Navarreto's sacrifice fly to tie the game in the fifth. Gasper homered again in the sixth, only for Heriberto Hernandez to answer with a homer that restored the tie. In the extra innings, Brian Navarreto scored after Javier Sanoja struck out on a wild pitch by Wyatt Olds, with the play bringing Miami level before Boston's offense broke open the game in the final inning.
Miami received a tying homer from Heriberto Hernandez and a sacrifice fly from Brian Navarreto, but the Marlins could not keep pace once the game moved beyond regulation. Cade Gibson took the loss, while Alec Gamboa earned the win for Boston.
The Red Sox extended their winning streak, while Miami's losing streak continued. The night belonged to Boston's extra-inning burst, after a back-and-forth game had resisted separation for most of the evening.
