Shortstop Trevor Story hit a key two-run double in the sixth inning to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Red Sox, who overcame 11 strikeouts to edge the Brewers.

Why it matters

The Red Sox have struggled to start the season, winning just 3 of their first 11 games. This win helps them avoid falling to 2-9, which has happened only four times in franchise history, most recently in 2011.

The details

Garrett Crochet struck out seven for the Red Sox, outlasting Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski, who had 10 strikeouts before running into trouble in the sixth inning. After Misiorowski walked the bases loaded, Story lined a two-run double down the left-field line to put Boston up 2-0. The Brewers scored two runs in the seventh to make it 3-2, but Aroldis Chapman closed it out for his third save.
