Red Sox Rally Past Marlins for Fourth Straight Comeback Win
Anthony Seigler hit a go-ahead RBI triple in the ninth inning to propel the Boston Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park on Monday, August 24, 2026. The win marked Boston's fourth consecutive comeback victory.
Boston entered the eighth inning trailing 2-1 before tying the game when Wilyer Abreu doubled, advanced on a flyout, and scored on a wild pitch by rookie pitcher Josh Ekness. The Red Sox then capitalized in the top of the ninth inning to secure the lead.
Mickey Gasper drew a leadoff walk in the ninth and was replaced by pinch-runner Eli White. Seigler then lined an 84.4 mph curveball down the right-field line to score White, giving Boston a 3-2 lead. Nick Sogard followed with an RBI single to add an insurance run.
Miami struggled with execution throughout the night, leaving 14 runners stranded and finishing 2-for-18 with runners in scoring position. Boston starter Ranger Suarez held the Marlins to one run over five innings despite allowing four hits, four walks, and two hit batters.
Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara threw seven strong innings, yielding one run on six hits. However, Miami lost the lead after bullpen reliever Pete Fairbanks walked Gasper in the ninth and left the game due to an injury before Tyler Zuber surrendered Seigler's clutch hit.
Reliever Erik Miller earned his first victory as a member of the Red Sox after escaping a two-on, one-out jam in the bottom of the eighth. Closer Aroldis Chapman pitched a scoreless ninth inning to record his 30th save of the season and the 397th of his career.
With the victory, the Red Sox improved to 72-59 on the season, matching their high-water mark of 13 games over .500. Boston will attempt to extend its winning streak to five games when the series continues on Tuesday.
