Wilyer Abreu made home run history and the Boston Red Sox scored seven runs in the first inning en route to a 13-6 victory over the visiting Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.

Abreu hit an inside-the-park home run in the fifth inning and a grand slam in the eighth, becoming the first player to have each of those homers separately in a game since Roger Maris in 1958.

Trevor Story and Jarren Duran also homered for Boston in the victory.

Cincinnati starting pitcher Chase Burns, the No. 2 overall pick in last year’s draft, made his second major league start but was pulled from the mound with one out in the first inning. Burns (0-1) allowed seven runs (five earned) on five hits and two walks.

Story’s three-run homer highlighted Boston’s seven-run first inning, which included an RBI single from Abraham Toro, an RBI double from Carlos Narvaez, an RBI single from David Hamilton and a run-scoring single from Roman Anthony.

Each of the nine batters in Boston’s starting lineup had at least one hit on the night, totaling 14.

Garrett Crochet (8-4) gave up five runs (four earned) on seven hits in six innings but earned the win. He struck out nine and walked one.

Austin Hays hit a solo home run and a two-run triple for Cincinnati.

The Reds scored three runs in the fourth to trim their deficit to 7-3. Hays tripled home Matt McLain and Elly De La Cruz before he scored on Spencer Steer’s groundout.

Cincinnati made it 7-4 on McLain’s RBI single in the fifth, but Abreu’s inside-the-park home run increased Boston’s lead to 8-4 in the bottom of the fifth. His long drive to center field took a high bounce off the wall, allowing Abreu to jet home.

Cincinnati was within three again in the sixth after Hays’ deep homer to center, but Boston extended its lead to 9-5 on Duran’s home run in its half of the sixth.

Abreu’s grand slam stretched Boston’s advantage to 13-5 before Christian Encarnacion-Strand capped the scoring when he raced home from third on McLain’s infield single in the ninth.

Boston rookie Marcelo Mayer, who missed last weekend’s three-game series against Toronto while on bereavement leave, was back with the team and started at third base. He went 2-for-5.
