Guardians fall to Red Sox 1-0 despite strong start by Foster Griffin, but keep division lead
BOSTON — Foster Griffin gave the Guardians his best start Wednesday night since they acquired him from the Nationals at the trade deadline. He turned the Red Sox back time and time again, but it wasn’t enough as the Guardians fell,
Aroldis Chapman struck out the side on 12 pitches in his return from a strained lat, earning his 35th save in Boston's 1-0 win over Cleveland.
Sonny Gray pitched six innings to tie for the major league lead with his 18th victory and Andruw Monasterio drove in the only run, leading the Boston Red Sox to edge the Cleveland Guardians 1-0.
The Guardians couldn't muster any offense against Sonny Gray and the Red Sox bullpen in a loss that prevents them from nearly clinching a playoff spot.
With less than a week to go before the postseason begins, the Red Sox are getting a key reinforcement back Wednesday.
Aroldis Chapman (35th save) and Jarren Duran (2 for 3, 20th stolen base) deliver in a 1-0 victory over the Guardians.
