Red Sox top Nationals 6-3 behind Contreras and Suárez efforts

The Boston Red Sox triumphed over the Washington Nationals 6-3 at Fenway Park on June 29, 2026. Willson Contreras launched an early home run, and Ranger Suárez contributed with a solid six-inning performance, recording eight strikeouts. Despite a late rally from the Nationals, which included a couple of runs, the Red Sox maintained control. The ejection of Contreras for a helmet tap added controversy but did not affect the outcome of the game. The victory marks the Red Sox's sixth win in their last seven games, improving their season record and playoff hopes.
