Payton Tolle joins exclusive club with immaculate inning as Red Sox beat Royals
The rookie left-hander struck out the side on nine pitches and allowed no runs over six innings as Boston beat Kansas City 4-1.
- On Sunday, rookie left-hander Payton Tolle pitched an immaculate inning to open the game at Fenway Park, striking out the side on nine pitches as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 4-1.
- Heavy rains at Fenway Park forced two delays, pushing the first pitch to 4:55 p.m., though interim manager Chad Tracy noted Tolle remained focused despite the prolonged wait.
- Tolle dominated his six scoreless innings, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters; he punctuated the immaculate frame with a 98-mph fastball to retire Jac Caglianone swinging.
- Following a seventh-inning tie, Roman Anthony's go-ahead single and Trevor Story's two-run hit secured the victory, while first baseman Willson Contreras returned from the 10-day injured list.
- With the win, Boston improves to 82-68, maintaining their position in a tight American League Wild Card race with just over two weeks remaining in the regular season.
