Willson Contreras hits 452-foot home run as Red Sox lead Giants

Willson Contreras hit a 452-foot three-run home run in the third inning, giving the Red Sox a 3-1 lead against the Giants. The blast came off Giants pitcher Logan Webb and was the hardest and farthest home run by a Red Sox player this year. Contreras' homer followed a single by Wilyer Abreu, and it was his 26th of the season, extending his career high. The inning concluded with the Red Sox scoring five runs total, putting pressure on Webb, who struggled afterward. This performance helped starting pitcher Sonny Gray secure a potential milestone win.
