Here are the latest updates on the Red Sox vs. Braves series:
- May 17, 2025: Red Sox rallied for a 7-6 comeback win behind Rafael Devers’ ninth-inning homer. This snapped Boston’s four-game skid, with Devers leading off the bottom of the ninth off Pierce Johnson. The Braves had built a 5-0 lead early before Boston stormed back.[1][3]
- The series had been tied entering the May 17 rubber match, with Boston aiming to take the final game of the three-game set. The Braves scored early with two first-inning homers from Matt Olson and Marcell Ozuna, while Drake Baldwin added a later homer for Atlanta, but Boston’s late surge sealed it.[2][3]
- For context, ESPN’s recap emphasizes Devers’ ninth-inning blast as the decisive moment in that May 17 game, highlighting the dramatic finish.[3]
- In the broader 2025 season context, the two teams met multiple times with Boston’s offense showing bursts of power (two-or-more homers in several games) and Atlanta often relying on early offense from Ozuna/Olson, followed by closer finishes from either side depending on bullpen performance.[2][3]
