The Red Sox went into the ninth with a 3-2 lead, but Miami stormed back to earn a 5-3 win and avoid a sweep at Fenway Park.

The Boston Red Sox are reportedly re-assessing this former All-Star's spot in the rotation, and with good reason.

Boston builds a 7-0 lead, with the help of a Trevor Story three-run homer, and survives Miami's late comeback bid.

PITCHING PROBABLES: Marlins: Janson Junk (6-2, 4.06 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 52 strikeouts); Red Sox: Garrett Crochet (13-5, 2.48 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 188 strikeouts)

Troy Johnston and Agustin Ramirez each hit home runs, but the Miami Marlins lost their third game in a row on Saturday in Boston.

The Boston Red Sox have a logjam in the outfield. They opted not to trade any of them at the deadline, but that could change in the winter.

BOTTOM LINE: The Boston Red Sox play the Miami Marlins with a 1-0 series lead. Boston is 40-22 at home and 67-56 overall. Red Sox hitters have a collective .428 slugging percentage to rank third in the AL. Miami is 58-64 overall and 30-33 on the road. The Marlins have the fourth-ranked team batting average in the NL at .252.

The Red Sox were three outs away from a weekend sweep of the Marlins, only to watch the game slip away in the ninth.
