Red Sox Snap Skid with 5-1 Win Over Braves

The Boston Red Sox ended a five-game losing streak with a 5-1 win over the Atlanta Braves, highlighted by Trevor Story's crucial two-run home run—his first since May 10. Lucas Giolito allowed just one run over 4 2/3 innings, while five relievers combined for shutout relief. Abraham Toro contributed three hits and made a decisive defensive play at first base that was upheld after a replay review. The Red Sox struggled offensively, striking out 14 times and going 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position, but delivered key hits and defensive stops. The team's offensive difficulties have intensified since Alex Bregman's injury. The win provided hope that Story’s breakout and Toro’s contributions could help reverse the team’s fortunes.
