The Red Sox earned just their third win of the season when trailing after six innings. The rare clutch comeback helped Boston sweep the Kansas City Royals with a 4-3 victory. A quality start from Connelly Early and a late swing from a hot bat delivered the clincher.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Here\u2019s three takeaways from Wednesday\u2019s series finale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
EARLY BETTER THAN GAME SHOWS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Early made only two real mistakes in this start. The Royals made them hurt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Salvador Perez hooked a solo home run in the first inning before Elias D\u00edaz lifted a two-run home run off the lefty in the fifth inning to give the Royals the lead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Otherwise, Early looked solid in this one across six strong innings with five strikeouts against Kansas City.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Red Sox could take a step forward if Jarren Duran finds a way to sustain even half of what he produced on the field at Kauffman Stadium this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Duran went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBIs in the first two games of the series. On Wednesday night, he took over with a leaping catch at the wall in foul territory before his two-run home run in the seventh inning vaulted the Red Sox into the lead. He added another extra-base hit on the night with his first triple of 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He did run into an out to end the ninth inning when he tried to score on a ball in the dirt from third. Despite the failed attempt to push the envelope, Duran scratched to secure the sweep for the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Red Sox moved over the .500 mark in road games this season with a 14-13 mark. Boston also posted a 4-2 record on the road trip, the team\u2019s first winning a record of a trip with multiple series this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.overthemonster.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Red Sox earned just their third win of the season when trailing after six innings.
