BOSTON – After failing to record a hit through seven innings, the Miami Marlins finally got to Red Sox right-handed pitcher Brayan Bello in the eighth, resulting in a 2-0 decision Thursday night at Fenway Park.
The hero was Jon Berti, whose line-drive single brought home Jean Segura, ultimately leading the Marlins to a three-game sweep against the Red Sox for the first time in franchise history.
