Boston Downs Seattle, 5-3
No one was more impactful than Dave Hopper in the 5-3 Boston win over Seattle. Hopper, who led the NL in doubles with 51 in 2021, went 2-3 with a triple and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Phil Christopher, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 3 runs on 6 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 6. His record now stands at 5-10. Earning the save was Terence McCray. He's now cashed in 41 of 48 save opportunities.

Boston took a 4-3 lead on Patrick Vitzhum's 23rd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Vitzhum hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Seattle pitcher Franklin E. Perez visibly frustrated.

"Feels good to get the job done," Vitzhum said after the game.

The win elevated the Red Sox to 77-61.
