Gameday: Red Sox 6, Tides 2 Final Score (07/29/2026)
The Worcester Red Sox secured a 6-2 victory over the Norfolk Tides in their matchup on July 29, 2026. Playing at Harbor Park, the Red Sox offense established an early lead in the first inning and pulled away during the sixth to seal the win.
Allan Castro drove in two runs early, while Brett Harris and Vinny Capra provided the key offensive spark in the sixth inning with back-to-back home runs. These hits pushed the Red Sox lead to four runs, proving too much for the Tides to overcome. The team combined for 11 hits throughout the contest.
Pitcher Blake Wehunt earned the win, allowing two runs over five innings of work. The bullpen maintained the lead, with Samaniego, Bastardo, and Olds holding the Tides scoreless for the final four frames of the game. The Red Sox defense turned two double plays to keep the Tides from mounting a comeback.
The Tides managed five hits but struggled to string them together against a steady Red Sox pitching staff. José Barrero and Ryan Noda recorded the only RBIs for Norfolk. Despite the loss, the game remained competitive until the mid-game surge from Worcester. The teams finished the day with identical totals in errors, but the extra-base power from the Red Sox visitors proved to be the deciding factor.
