The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Boston Red Sox 7–6 on Wednesday, avoiding a series sweep. In the 10th inning, Nolan Arenado hits a broken-bat bloop single over a drawn-in infield to put Arizona ahead, with the play sparking a two-run surge.
Arizona adds additional runs in the extra frame. Lars Nootbar delivers a pinch-hit two-run homer, and Gabriel Moreno drives in two runs with a double. The Diamondbacks are without All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte for a third straight game. For Boston, Mickey Gasper hits a tying three-run home run for the third straight game, and Nick Sogard records his first major-league homer. Jarren Duran also contributes a solo home run.
The reports from Winnipeg Free Press and Yahoo Sports align on the decisive 10th-inning sequence led by Arenado, the final score, and the key contributions from players on both sides. The only differences are in emphasis and wording, but there is no substantive disagreement on the outcome or the main game moments.
