Decker Powers Red Sox to 9-5 Win
Nick Decker led Boston to a win over New York. The final score was 9-5. Decker, who finished 4th in the AL in on-base percentage with .372 in 2025, collected 6 RBI, while going 4 for 4 at the plate. The left fielder also scored 2 times. Brandon Woodruff, the winner, goes to 11-7. He allowed 3 runs on 6 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts over 8 innings. Boston is first in the American League East Division with a record of 92-57.

Decker had a key at-bat for Boston in the bottom of the second. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 2-run double. It was his 36th double of the season and gave Boston an early 3-1 lead.

"There were things that we could've improved upon," said Red Sox manager Joe Curtis, "but all in all, I'm satisfied with our performance."
