BALTIMORE (AP) \u2014 Andruw Monasterio<\/a> hit a grand slam as part of a 10-run ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox<\/a> snapped a four-game skid with a 17-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Willson Contreras<\/a> added a three-run homer and Caleb Durbin<\/a> a two-run shot in the frame against Orioles outfielder Weston Wilson<\/a>, after Monasterio’s drive had helped to chase reliever Keegan Akin<\/a> in his season debut.<\/p>\n

When the ninth was finally over, Boston had scored more runs in one inning than it had managed in its first 26 games.<\/p>\n

The late power show came after Orioles starter Trevor Rogers<\/a> (2-3) allowed three runs in 1 2\/3 innings, throwing 47 of his 62 pitches in the second. It continued a three-start stretch in which his ERA has ballooned from 1.89 to 4.75.<\/p>\n

Garrett Crochet<\/a> (3-3) struck out seven over six shutout innings, the first four coming while the game was still competitive.<\/p>\n

Two starts after the ugliest outing of his Red Sox career \u2014 an 11-run performance over 1 2\/3 innings at Minnesota \u2014 Crochet looked every bit the ace Boston traded for in December 2024 and signed to a $170 million, six-year extension in March 2025.<\/p>\n

He allowed three hits, walked two and threw 57 of 90 pitches for strikes while lowering his ERA about 1 1\/2 runs to 6.30. It was his first scoreless outing since six clean frames on opening day in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Contreras finished with five RBIs and Durbin had three, Monasterio and Ceddanne Rafaela<\/a> had three hits, and Connor Wong<\/a> clubbed a three-run double in the fifth off Albert Suarez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Red Sox left-hander Connelly Early<\/a> (1-1, 2.88 ERA) makes his 10th career start and first in Baltimore in Sunday’s series finale. He’ll face Orioles righty Kyle Bradish<\/a> (1-2, 3.96).<\/p>\n
