Red Sox starter Tanner Houck gave up one run on
four hits and no walks in 6 2/3 innings. He finished with nine
strikeouts but settled for the no-decision.
The Cubs rallied to tie the score off Boston reliever Chris
Martin, who gave up two singles to lead off the eighth. Mike
Tauchman followed with a three-run home run, his third of the
season, to knot it at 4-4.
Connor Wong had two hits and two RBIs for Boston. Duran recorded
a two-run triple.
Kenley Jansen (1-0) worked a 1-2-3 ninth to earn the win for
Boston, which won the final two games of the three-game series.
Tauchman was 2-for-4 and Mark Leiter Jr. (0-1) took the loss for
the Cubs.
With the Cubs trailing 4-0 in the seventh inning, Michael Busch
was hit by a pitch with two outs. Dansby Swanson reached on an
infield single, and Matt Mervis drove in Busch with a single to
right.
In the eighth, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner started the
rally with back-to-back singles before Tauchman hit a three-run
homer into the center field seats.
Wong opened Boston's scoring on a two-out RBI single up the
middle in the first inning.
In the third, Devers lined a leadoff single to right and scored
from third on Wong's infield single.
Houck did not allow a hit until Tauchman and Ian Happ recorded
back-to-back singles with one out in the fourth. Houck then
struck out Christopher Morel and got Busch to line out.
Duran increased Boston's lead to 4-0 in the sixth, ripping a
two-out, two-run triple into center field.
