Trevor Story hit 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. Garrett Crochet struck out seven for the Red Sox, who won for just the third time in 11 games this season. Milwaukee right-hander Jacob Misiorowski struck out 10 batters before running into trouble in the sixth.

Why it matters

This win helps the Red Sox avoid a 2-9 start, which has happened only four times in franchise history. The Brewers were looking to continue their strong start to the season but came up short against the Red Sox.

The details

Misiorowski struck out the first five batters and didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning. But he faded quickly in the sixth, walking the next three batters after striking out the first batter. Reliever DL Hall came in to face Story, who lined a two-run double down the left-field line to put Boston up 2-0. Caleb Durbin drove in another run on a ground-out to second. The Brewers got two runs back in the seventh, but the Red Sox held on for the win.

  • The game was played on Tuesday night, April 8, 2026.
