Red Sox 9, Cardinals 3: Boston Rolls in St. Louis (Apr 12, 2026)

Nine runs on the road is how you quiet a packed house.

Boston beat St. Louis 9-3 on Sunday, April 12, 2026. We verified the final on MLB.com and ESPN.

How the game unfolded

Busch Stadium can feel like a fortress when the Cardinals are rolling. Boston took the air out of the room with separation early enough that St. Louis never fully seized momentum. The 9-3 final reads like a clean road win: the Red Sox scored in bunches, limited damage, and avoided the kind of late-inning chaos that turns a comfortable lead into a coin flip.

AthX Engine graded Boston at 18 team fantasy points (daily recap), second on the Sunday board. That lines up with a game where run creation stayed ahead of run prevention for most of the afternoon.
