Red Sox vs Brewers Live Stream & Score Updates: Can Boston End Milwaukee’s Home Dominance Tonight?

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers edged the Boston Red Sox 3-2 on Monday night behind rookie sensation Jackson Chourio’s first-pitch leadoff homer and a stingy bullpen effort that preserved Aaron Civale’s quality start. The victory gives Milwaukee a 1-0 lead in the three-game interleague set at American Family Field and nudges the club back to .500 (27-28), while Boston slips to 27-29. Chourio wasted no time igniting the home crowd, turning on Garrett Crochet’s 96-mph fastball and sending it 414 feet to left-center. The 20-year-old top prospect now owns seven homers and continues to validate Milwaukee’s aggressive decision to start his career in the big leagues. “I’m just looking for something I can handle early,” Chourio said post-game. “If it’s in the zone first pitch, I’m ready.” Civale (5-2) scattered five hits over six innings, striking out eight without a walk. His lone blemish came in the fourth when Rafael Devers lined a two-run double off the right-field wall to tie the game 2-2. Milwaukee answered immediately in the bottom half: Willy Adames legged out an infield single, took second on a wild pitch, and scored on Rhys Hoskins’ opposite-field single for the decisive run. Boston threatened in the eighth, loading the bases with two outs, but setup man Elvis Peguero blew a 97-mph sinker past Tyler O’Neill to escape. All-Star closer Devin Williams locked down his 14th save, freezing Masataka Yoshida on a back-door changeup. KEY NUMBERS • Brewers starters own a 2.69 ERA over the past seven games. • Boston’s bullpen has yielded runs in six of its last eight appearances. • Devers’ two-base hit was his 15th extra-base knock in May, tied for third-most in MLB. WHAT IT MEANS The Red Sox remain four games behind the first-place Yankees in the AL East, while the Brewers creep to within 1.5 of the NL Central-leading Cubs. Interleague tiebreakers could loom large if wild-card spots come into play, making today’s rematch pivotal. ON DECK Game 2 is slated for Tuesday at 7:40 p.m. ET (MLB.TV, NESN, Bally Sports Wisconsin). Milwaukee will send right-hander Freddy Peralta (5-3, 2.55 ERA) to the hill; he has fanned 77 batters in 60 frames this season. Boston counters with Bryan Bello (2-1, 4.08), whose heavy sinker generates a 56 percent ground-ball rate.

INJURY NOTES Boston placed utility man Jarren Duran (left hamstring) on the 10-day IL, calling up outfielder Wilyer Abreu. Milwaukee reports outfielder Sal Frelick (wrist) will start a rehab assignment Wednesday. BOTTOM LINE With Chourio surging and Peralta on the bump, the Brewers have a chance to secure their first series win over Boston since 2017. Conversely, the Red Sox will lean on Bello’s ground-ball wizardry and a rested Kenley Jansen to even the set and keep pace in a tightening AL East race.
