The Red Sox rolled to an 8-1 win at Fenway to notch their 10th home win of the season, led by Payton Tolle’s six shutout innings (five strikeouts, career-high 99 pitches) and a balanced lineup with seven extra-base hits, including a five-run fifth. The win sets up a matinee rubber game in the series and extends Boston’s success against Chris Bassitt in two meetings.
Payton Tolle delivered eight strong innings as Boston outlasted Atlanta 3-2, with Wilyer Abreu and Willson Contreras fueling the offense and Contreras delivering the game‑winning homer in the eighth; Boston weathered a Monasterio error and a shaky save by Aroldis Chapman, in a win that comes as Trevor Story hits the IL.
Red Sox left-hander Payton Tolle will start on Mother's Day to honor his late mother, Jina Tolle, who died in 2024 after an eight-year battle with colon cancer. Even from her hospital bed, she inspired him with lines like “Be a Tigger, not an Eeyore,” and he now signals “I love you” to the sky before and after starts as a tribute.
