The Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles 1-0 on a first-inning home run by Mickey Gasper, who now has eight home runs in his last 16 games. Ranger Suarez pitched seven innings for the Red Sox, allowing five hits and striking out three, while Shane Baz took the loss for the Orioles after giving up four hits and six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. The game's only run came from Gasper's first-inning home run, which cleared the out-of-town scoreboard, and Aroldis Chapman earned his 32nd save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
