Bourn’s double off Andrew Miller snapped a 3-all tie and sent the Red Sox to their second straight loss after winning seven consecutive games.
Nick Hagadone (1-0) struck out three in 1 1-3 innings. Cody Allen recorded the final four outs for his fifth save.
Jake Peavy (1-3) allowed five runs in 6 1-3 innings. The right-hander, who hasn’t won since April 25, gave up three runs in the first, but held the Indians scoreless until the seventh.
