Trevor Story lined a 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, ending a three-game losing streak for the struggling Red Sox. Garrett Crochet struck out seven batters for Boston, while Milwaukee starter Jacob Misiorowski fanned 10 before running into trouble in the sixth.

Why it matters

The win was an important one for the Red Sox, who were in danger of falling to 2-9 to start the season - a mark that has happened only four times in franchise history. The clutch hit by Story provided a much-needed boost for the struggling Boston offense.

The details

With the game scoreless in the sixth inning, Misiorowski struck out the first batter he faced before walking the next three. Reliever DL Hall came in to face Story, who lined a 0-2 changeup down the left-field line to put Boston up 2-0. Caleb Durbin then drove in another run on a groundout to make it 3-0. Milwaukee got two runs back in the seventh, but Aroldis Chapman closed it out for his third save.
