BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox beat the Indians 10-4 to halt their three-game losing streak.
Xander Bogaerts hit two solo homers, Andrew Benintendi had a three-run double to cap a big fourth inning.
Mitch Moreland added a two-run homer for the Red Sox, who lost the previous two nights in a matchup of AL division leaders.
East-leading Boston, which owns the majors’ best record, is the only MLB team without a four-game losing streak this season.
Indians outfielder Leonys Martin will sit out the rest of the season because of a bacterial infection.
The 30-year-old Cuban player became ill following a game two weeks ago. Doctors determined he had the life-threatening bacterial infection that entered his bloodstream and created toxins that damaged his internal organs, compromising their function.
