Cleveland at Boston

September 3, 2025
img6:45 PM Eastern

Boston took Game 2 of this series, 11-7, on Tuesday, keeping pace with the Yankees for second in the AL East, 2.5 games back of Toronto. Every hitter in the starting lineup chipped in as the Red Sox improved to 10-3 over the past two weeks. Cleveland skip Stephen Vogt announced that he’s going to a six-man rotation for the stretch drive, and Joey Cantillo will start in Wednesday’s series finale at Fenway Park. Cantillo has a career 4.29 ERA and he’s only seen Boston once this season, getting roughed up for three runs in two innings of relief. The Red Sox offense is fourth in runs, seventh in on-base percentage, sixth in steals, and eighth in slugging. Brennan Bernardino (3.08 ERA) is holding batters to a .237 average, while the Red Sox bullpen is ranked third with a 3.38 ERA. Play Boston.
