Former Dodgers junior Walker Buller had a 9K run to help the Red Sox win the series

The new Boston right-hand pitcher got his first taste of Patriots Day morning (kick-off at 11:10 a.m. ET) and made a point of staying at a hotel within walking distance of Fenway Park. In the festive atmosphere of Boston, Beehler delivered his best starting performance since joining the Red Sox, conceding only one point in seven 9K games, leading the team to a 4-2 victory over the White Sox and winning three of the four series.

"I set an alarm clock at 6:45 a.m., left the hotel at 7:15 a.m., and arrived on time to prepare for the game," Buehler revealed of his morning schedule. For the first time since May 8, 2022, he threw seven innings (3-1 this season, 4.23 ERA) and blocked the White Sox line with 100 balls (63 good balls), mixed with seven types of balls including four-seam speedballs (30 balls), Carter balls, stretch balls, lateral curveballs and finger curveballs.

"It's a big day for Boston, and we deserve to defend our home here," Buehler said. Coach Alex Cora praised his performance: "Precise control of the ball, excellent use of the fastball combination, and Triston Casas instigated the double kill. "

On the offensive end, Rob Refsnyder blasted a tie-inning 397-foot shot (Statcast measured muzzle velocity of 106.4mph) in the second inning. The Red Sox opened the scoring with a first-run hit by Trevor Story and a two-point hit by Kristian Campbell in the third inning.

"The last time I played an early game was in high school," Campbell said of the frenetic atmosphere of the 34,721 spectators, "and the whole city was boiling, and the stadium was packed and the time was lost." After the final victory, some of the team members joined the audience to witness the Boston Marathon.

Regarding his early starting memory, Buehler revealed that it goes back to the 2017 Little League: "I was starting with Jack Flaherty on SpongeBob SquarePants Day, and I hit a hit from him. Coach Cora teased Reifsnyder: "He has children at home, and he has long been used to waking up early. "
