Headline

Eli White slides home headfirst with winning run, play reviewed and Red Sox rally past Giants 3-2

BOSTON -- Eli White slid headfirst into the plate with the winning run to complete a three-run ninth-inning rally, a play that was upheld after a review, and the Boston Red Sox got to twice celebrate their 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night.

Wilyer Abreu hit a hard grounder that first baseman Bryce Eldridge made a diving stop on, then threw home for an attempted force, but White was ruled safe by umpire James Hoye, setting off a celebration. The Giants challenged the call on the field and the call stood after a video review, prompting a second celebration.

Willy Adames hit a solo homer over the Green Monster for the Giants, who lost for the 10th time in 13 games.

Dylan Smith had escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the eighth before Boston rallied against Sam Hentges (1-6), tying it on Nick Sogards RBI double down the left-field line after pinch-hitter White had a run-scoring single.

Wyatt Olds (1-0) earned the win.

Andrew Knizner also homered for the Giants.

Playing his second game in his return to Fenway Park, Giants DH Rafael Devers , who was traded by the Red Sox last season after refusing to switch positions , was booed loudly each at-bat and went 0 for 4 with a walk.

Boston won the series opener Friday behind Willson Contreras 450-foot, three-run homer.

Coming off a rough outing when he gave a career-high five walks when the Giants lost to Colorado , Blade Tidwell kept Bostons batters quiet while striking out seven over 5 2/3 innings.

Patrick Sandoval gave up two solo homers and five hits in 5 2/3 innings after allowing a season-high seven earned runs in his last start.

Up next

Red Sox LHP Jake Bennett (7-6, 3.46 ERA) is set to start the series finale Sunday. The Giants havent named a starter.
