Abreu hits grand slam and inside-the-park homer and lifts the Red Sox over the Reds 13-6
BOSTON — Wilyer Abreu hit a grand slam and an inside-the-park solo home run for Boston, Trevor Story hit a three-run homer in the first inning and the Red Sox defeated the Reds 13-6 on Monday night.
Boston knocked Cincinnati phenom right-hander Chase Burns out of the game with a seven-run first inning during his second major league start.
Jarren Duran went deep in the sixth with a solo shot for Boston, which won for the second time in nine games.
Austin Hays had a two-run triple and solo homer for the Reds, who had won five of seven.
The 22-year-old Burns , selected second overall in July’s amateur draft, was charged with seven runs, five earned, and got just one out. In his debut last week, he became the first starting pitcher since the expansion era to strike out the first five batters he faced.
Boston starter Garrett Crochet retired the first 10 batters he faced before the Reds scored three runs in the fourth. He gave up five runs, four earned, in six innings with nine strikeouts.
Crochet allowed more than two runs for the fourth time in 18 starts this season.
Abreu hit a fly ball into the triangle in center field, the ball hit the top of a side wall on Boston’s bullpen and caromed along the track toward left. Abreu raced around and went into the plate on a head-first slide without a throw.
Abreu is the sixth player in major league history, and the second Red Sox player since 1939, to separately hit a grand slam and an inside-the-park homer in the same game. The inside-the-park home run was the first by a Boston player in Fenway Park since Jacoby Ellsbury on Sept. 19, 2011.
Reds RHP Brady Singer is slated to face Red Sox RHP Richard Fitts Tuesday in the middle game of the interleague series.
