Boston took Saturday’s game 9-1, behind another strong start from Sonny Gray and a six-run ninth inning.

Ranger Suarez has the ball for Boston in the finale. After stringing together a few good outings, Suarez struggled last time out, allowing five earned runs in five innings in a loss to the Braves.

Cleveland will turn to righthander Tanner Bibee, who is still searching for his first win of the season. His last start was a bit of a disaster, as he gave up a franchise record-tying five homers in three innings against the Nationals.

First pitch is set for 1:40 p.m. in Cleveland and on NESN. Here’s a preview.

Time: 1:40 p.m.

TV, radio: NESN, WEEI-FM 93.7

Red Sox vs. Bibee: Wilyer Abreu 0-2, Willson Contreras 0-2, Jarren Duran 1-5, Ceddanne Rafaela 0-2, Connor Wong 2-4, Masataka Yoshida 1-6

Guardians vs. Suarez: Stuart Fairchild 1-11, David Fry 2-3, Austin Hedges 0-2, Rhys Hoskins 1-4, Kyle Manzardo 0-3, Angel Martínez 0-2, José Ramírez 4-5

Stat of the day: Suarez has either been terrific or terrible in his first 10 starts for Boston, giving up four or more runs in four of them and one total run in the other six outings.

Notes: Connor Wong drove in three runs, including the go-ahead double in the sixth inning, and had a pair of hits for the Red Sox in a 9-1 win. It was just his third start at catcher in a 22-day span as Mickey Gasper and Carlos Narvaez have taken most of the playing time. “Just a really, really good performance by a guy who hasn’t played much,” Boston interim manager Chad Tracy said. … In three career appearances against Cleveland, all as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies, Suarez is 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA. … Bibee went exactly five innings in both of his previous games against Boston, going 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA. The Red Sox have worked him for four walks and struck out only five times. … A roster move could be in the offing for the Guardians, who are now without two starting outfielders. Left fielder Angel Martinez is scheduled to have an MRI after exiting Saturday’s game with left foot inflammation in the fifth inning. Center fielder Steven Kwan, a multiple-time Gold Glove winner in left, remains on the bereavement/family medical emergency list.
