Boston pounced on left-hander
Carlos Rodn for five runs across the first two innings, including a three-run first that featured three doubles -- Jarren Duran, Tyler O'Neill and Jamie Westbrook all sent drives out toward Soto in left field.
That first frame was uncharacteristically rough for Rodn, who had permitted just four first-inning runs across his first 14 starts.
Rafael Devers extended Boston's lead with a two-run double in the second. Already having tossed 60 pitches, Rodn knew he needed to help save the bullpen by lasting at least five innings, which he did by clamping the damage there.
"I just left some balls over the middle part of the plate," said Rodn, who tossed a season-high 109 pitches. "The balls off the wall, they hit some balls really hard off me. I just didn't get to the area I wanted to, and putting the team down five runs is tough. It makes it hard for them to claw their way out of it, so that's on me."
Though Rodn retired 10 of the last 11 batters he faced, the rough effort snapped his string of seven winning starts. Since May 8, he'd gone 7-0 with a 2.28 ERA, the first time in his career that he has won more than five consecutive starts.
"It just looked like he was in the heart of the plate a lot," manager Aaron Boone said. "I thought his stuff was good, but looking back at those first couple of innings, they put some really good at-bats against him and were making really good contact."
