Cade Civalli pitches a strong seven innings as the Washington Nationals defeat the Boston Red Sox 8-1 on Tuesday night, snapping Boston’s five-game winning streak. Civalli allows one hit and records a career-high 13 strikeouts in the victory. The game includes a tense moment in the fourth inning after Civalli strikes out Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras. Civalli yells at Contreras as the at-bat concludes, and the incident triggers a bench-clearing confrontation. As a result, Contreras is ejected, along with Red Sox interim manager Chris Tracy and other participants named by reports. Nationals pitcher Miles Mikolas is also ejected. The Nationals then continue to pull away, finishing with an eight-run margin while Civalli’s performance anchors Washington’s offense and bullpen support.
