Red Sox bomb Cardinals to sweep twin bill, series

Red Sox Cardinals

Alex Bregman went 4-for-5 with a homer and six RBIs as the Boston Red Sox routed the visiting St. Louis Cardinals 18-7 Sunday night to complete a three-game sweep.

The victory, Boston’s fifth straight, came in the finale of a day-night doubleheader. The Red Sox won the opener 5-4 in 10 innings.

Rafael Devers went 4-for-4 with four runs and three RBIs for Boston. Jarren Duran was 3-for-5 with three runs and two RBIs, while Wilyer Abreu drove in three runs.

Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins (1-0) held the Cardinals to two runs on eight hits and two walks in five innings to win his major league debut.

Thomas Saggese had a homer and four RBIs for the Cardinals, who had 12 hits and have rapped at least 10 in every game this season.

St. Louis starter Miles Mikolas (0-1) allowed nine runs, eight earned, on 11 hits and a walk in 2 2/3 innings.

The Cardinals went up 1-0 on first-inning doubles by Willson Contreras and Brendan Donovan. The Red Sox tied the game in the bottom of the inning on singles by Devers, Bregman and Abreu.

Boston moved ahead 6-1 in the second inning. Romy Gonzalez’s single, Carlos Narvaez’s double and Ceddanne Rafaela’s RBI single started the rally. Bregman and Abreu smashed two-run doubles to cap it.

The Red Sox made it 10-1 in the third inning. With two outs, Rafaela hit a single, stole second and scored on Duran’s single. Devers knocked Mikolas out of the game with a single, then Bregman greeted Gordon Graceffo with a three-run homer.

St. Louis got a run back in the fourth inning on a leadoff double by Alec Burleson and an RBI single by Masyn Winn with two outs.

Doubles by Duran and Devers put Boston ahead 11-2 in the fifth inning.

The Red Sox made it 16-2 in the sixth inning on Trevor Story’s double, Narvaez’s RBI double, Duran’s RBI single, Devers’ two-run double and Bregman’s RBI double.

Saggese hit a sacrifice fly for the Cardinals in the seventh, but the Red Sox answered with two runs, one coming on Rafaela’s RBI single.

Donovan hit an RBI double in the ninth, and Saggese hit his three-run homer to make it 18-7.
