The Boston Red Sox secured a dominant 9-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves at Fenway, highlighted by stellar performances from Nick Pivetta and Rafael Devers. Pivetta pitched seven innings, allowing only one hit, no runs, and striking out nine batters while generating 18 Whiffs. Devers contributed significantly to the offense with two home runs and three RBIs. The Red Sox's comprehensive performance included a solid defensive showing and effective bullpen work, with Zack Kelly closing out the final two innings after Bobby Dalbec took over at third base in the 8th inning.

Nick Pivetta shoved today, striking out 9 in 7.0 IP with just 1 Hit allowed Pivetta's arsenal graded out very well as he generated 18 Whiffs and induced plenty of weak contact. He attacked the zone and Braves hitters struggled to get anything going. https://t.co/CfeQzIPuVi
Devers will get the rest of the afternoon off. Dalbec is in at 3B with the Sox up, 8-0, in the 8th. Zack Kelly is in to pitch, likely for the final two innings.
