Following a 4-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Aug. 25, where Anthony Seigler drove in the winning run, the Red Sox extended their momentum with an 11th-inning 7-3 win. This victory was fueled by a 412-foot grand slam from Jarren Duran. During this stretch, Mickey Gasper recorded his first career two-homer game, and Aroldis Chapman secured his 30th save of the season, joining Mariano Rivera as one of a select group of Latin American pitchers to reach that milestone. However, the Red Sox's five-game winning streak ended on Aug. 26 when the Marlins defeated Boston 4-0 at loanDepot Park to avoid a series sweep. The loss was marked by four defensive errors from Boston and a pitching performance by Ryan Gusto that limited the Red Sox to four hits. Sonny Gray allowed two runs over five innings in the shutout loss. During this period, catcher Audley Rutschman missed his second consecutive game due to right elbow irritation, while outfielder Roman Anthony continued his rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester following a finger injury sustained in May. On Aug. 28 and 29, the Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium to even the series.
