Diamondbacks' McCann Returns with Three Hits in 5-1 Win Over Red Sox

The Arizona Diamondbacks secured a 5-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Chase Field, improving their record to 71-71 and maintaining 4th place in the NL West. James McCann made a strong return to the lineup, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored and catching all nine innings, after struggling earlier in August due to low-back tightness. Brandon Pfaadt earned the win with six solid innings, allowing just one earned run and striking out seven, while relief pitchers preserved the lead. Key offensive contributions also came from Alek Thomas, Josh McCarthy, and Corbin Carroll, who helped the Diamondbacks build an early lead and maintain momentum. Elsewhere, White Sox players Dominic Fletcher and Chase Meidroth had notable performances; Fletcher went 2-for-4 with two doubles in his team debut, and Meidroth recorded four hits including a double in an 11-8 win over the Twins. These performances highlight emerging talent and key returns from injury across teams.
