Contreras’ Smart Move in the Tenth | MLB News

The Red Sox fell in a heartbreaker, losing 7-6 in extra innings after a clutch three-run homer from Mickey Gasper tied the game — his third blast in three games. Boston’s offense shone with Sogard’s first career homer and Duran’s solo shot, but Arizona capitalized in the 10th when a shaky pitcher walked three batters, leading to the go-ahead run. Contreras’ grounding out drew boos, but he defended his decision to protect his sore hamstring, emphasizing smart health management over fan noise. Despite the loss, Boston’s bullpen delivered three scoreless innings — a standout effort amid injury-depleted options — as Contreras and the team remain focused on long-term performance over short-term pressure.
