The Red Sox's victory streak ended after they lost to the RailRiders, resulting in disappointment. Minor league results were similarly unfavorable, with a 1-3 record. The Worcester team struggled, giving up a total of sixteen hits and allowing three home runs. Offensively, they stranded nine men and managed just one extra base hit. David Hamilton, demoted to Triple-A, performed poorly but was involved in two double plays. The game highlighted challenges for both major and minor league teams in their return from the All-Star break.
The RailRiders treated the base paths like train stations in the first game of this shortened series, thanks to Cooper Criswell allowing six runs on eight hits in his 4 2⁄ 3 innings.
Worcester gave up sixteen hits on the night while striking out just seven and allowing three balls out of the park, leading to a rough night for the WooSox.
Offensively, the WooSox could not keep up as they stranded nine men, with Trayce Thompson’s late home run being the team's only extra base hit.
David Hamilton’s performance had been poor, earning a demotion to Triple-A, yet he did participate in two double plays and reached base twice on Friday.
