This time, Duran cleared the bases with a double to make it 6\u20131. Contreras followed up with an RBI single to extend the lead to 7\u20131.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals got their own bases-loaded situation with one out in the bottom of the sixth. However, a sacrifice fly from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/gormano01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-04-12_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Nolan Gorman<\/strong><\/a> would be the only run the Cardinals scored in the inning.

He threw his sinker a lot more, which led to much more success with his other pitches. He forced a lot of weak contact, and made things easy for the fielders.<\/p>\n<h2>What Went Wrong for the Red Sox<\/h2>\n<h3>Anthony Going Hitless<\/h3>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t the worst 0-for-5 performance you&#8217;ll see, as Anthony managed an RBI and was hitting the ball hard on a couple of his outs.
