Red Sox Prevail, 8-6, Over Cleveland
Cleveland got a terrific game from center fielder Oscar Mercado. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Boston, 8-6. Mercado went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The Indians drop to 9-12 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2020 season.

The Red Sox got a big at-bat from center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr.. For the game, Bradley Jr. was 2 for 3 with a triple, a double, and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the sixth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run triple. His 2nd triple of the season gave Boston a 7-5 lead.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Bradley Jr. said.
