Boston Red Sox starter Griffin Canning turned in an exceptional performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Fenway Park, resulting in a Boston win, 3-2. Felix Bautista converted his 38th save in 43 tries. Boston now has a record of 80-73 with the win.

Rafael Devers, who finished 2nd in the AL in on-base percentage with .381 last year, contributed to the Boston win with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the eighth. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"For the most part, I stayed out of the middle of the plate," Canning said.
