Carlos Narvaez came through with a pinch-hit, two-run single and Trevor Story hit a solo home run to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 6-4 victory over the visiting Cleveland Guardians on Sept. 1 in the opener of a three-game series.
It was a 3-3 game until Narvaez delivered his pinch-hit single with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. Nate Eaton and Rob Refsnyder scored on the play.
Story's home run traveled 306 feet, and was originally ruled a foul ball when it popped out of right fielder Jhonkensy Noel's glove and fell into the crowd. The Red Sox challenged, and it was ruled that the ball hit the foul pole when it came out of Noel's glove.
It was Story's 23rd home run of the season and extended Boston's lead to 6-3 in the sixth inning. He had three of Boston's 14 hits.
