Boston Red Sox defeat Arizona Diamondbacks in two-game series sweep

The Boston Red Sox secured two decisive victories against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Fenway Park. In the series opener, Boston dismantled Arizona 11-1, fueled by 16 hits and home runs from Willson Contreras and Mickey Gasper. Contreras hit his 25th home run of the season, setting a new career high. Brayan Bello also contributed significantly in a relief role, maintaining a 0.85 ERA in 11 appearances.

In the second game, the Red Sox overcame an early deficit to win 9-4. After Gabriel Moreno hit a grand slam to give Arizona a 4-3 lead, Adley Rutschman responded with a solo home run, marking his first since joining the team via trade. Rutschman finished the night with three RBIs. Despite the Diamondbacks' efforts, the Red Sox offense remained potent, scoring 20 total runs across the two games. Arizona continues to face challenges, including the absence of Ketel Marte, who was placed on the restricted list due to a knee injury.
