Red Sox complete series sweep over Giants with 5-4 victory
Summary

The Boston Red Sox secured a 5-4 victory against the San Francisco Giants on August 23, 2026, completing a series sweep at Fenway Park. After falling behind due to three early runs allowed by Jake Bennett, the Red Sox rallied with timely hits, including a pinch-hit RBI double from Mickey Gasper and a home run by Nick Sogard. Contributions came primarily from Jahmai Jones, who went 2-for-2, and other less experienced players, raising questions about their postseason roles. The Red Sox will now face the Miami Marlins in a three-game series.
