BOSTON — The last time Cal Quantrill faced the Red Sox, he and then-Sox catcher Reese McGuire induced a bench-clearing incident in Colorado.

Quantrill and Rockies got the last laugh that July 2024 day, winning 20-7 and taking the series from a spiraling Boston ball club.

The Red Sox got their revenge Saturday, knocking Quantrill around in a 7-5 victory over the visiting Miami Marlins that wasn’t even close to a competitive ballgame until the ninth inning.

The Boston bats were on the Quantrill from the very first of his 80 pitches in the contest, a Roman Anthony leadoff single. The Marlins righty lasted just 3.2 innings, and yielded seven earned runs on eight hits, one walk, hit one batter and managed just two strikeouts. He gave up a three-run Green Monster homer to Trevor Story.
