BOSTON – At Fenway Park with no flow restrictions for the first time since the pandemic, Nathan Eovaldi worked 5 1/3 innings and the Boston Red Sox beat the Miami Marlins 3-1 on Saturday night.

Bobby Dalbec, Kevin Plawecki and Hunter Renfroe each had RBI singles for Boston, which won for the seventh time in nine games and posted its ninth straight home win over the Marlins.

This time, the triumph caused a more noticeable jubilation in the traditional park, recently remodeled. The fans made a scandal after the interpretation of the national anthem and after Eovaldi threw a fastball that struck the Dominican Magneuris Sierra, the first batter of the match.
