Red Sox Get One-Run Win at Cleveland
Boston beat Cleveland at Progressive Field, eking out a 6-5 win. The win was due in large part to second baseman Ceddanne Rafaela. He was 1 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Garrett Whitlock, the winner, improved to 2-4. He held the Guardians to 3 runs on 6 hits over 5 innings, while striking out 4 and walking 0. Boston is off to a sluggish start, getting just their 9th win in 24 games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Masataka Yoshida? The Boston designated hitter had a 2-run single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Red Sox on top, 6-3. For the game, Yoshida had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It's a long season," said Yoshida. "We'll keep working to improve."
