Game 62: Red Sox at Guardians lineups and notes
By Andrew Mahoney Globe Staff,Updated June 7, 2023, 1 hour ago
The Red Sox snapped their three-game losing streak thanks to a strong seven-inning performance from lefthander James Paxton, and that allowed Boston to rally for a 5-4 win Tuesday at Cleveland.
It was the Red Sox’ 18th come-from-behind win this season. They have now played 28 games decided by two runs or fewer, going 14-14.
The victory pushed the Sox back above .500.

The three-game series vs the Guardians continues Wednesday at Progressive Field. Kutter Crawford will get the start on three days rest after tossing three innings on Saturday against the Rays.
