CLEVELAND (AP) — Jackie Bradley Jr. homered with one out in the 10th as Boston edged Cleveland 7-6 after blowing a late lead and win for ace Chris Sale.
The loss dropped the Indians 1/2 game behind Minnesota atop the AL Central after the Twins won.
Boston’s Rafael Devers became the first player in major league history with six hits and four doubles.
The Red Sox won just the fourth time in 16 games, helped by Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor, who got too aggressive and was thrown out stealing in the ninth.
Sale made history by getting to 2,000 career strikeouts faster than any pitcher.
