The Boston Red Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers 7-5 in extra innings, with late home runs by Ceddanne Rafaela and Jarren Duran sealing the victory. The Tigers had rallied to tie the game, ending a 21-inning scoreless drought, but ultimately fell short. Meanwhile, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Bowden Francis took a no-hitter into the sixth inning in their 2-0 win over the Red Sox. Francis has been exceptional in his last four starts, significantly contributing to the Blue Jays' recent wins. Additionally, Red Sox pitcher Brayan Bello delivered a career-best performance in a separate game against the Blue Jays, throwing eight scoreless innings and striking out nine. Despite struggles earlier in the season, Bello's recent improvements have been crucial for the Red Sox.
