Brennan had three hits for the Guardians, who struck out 12 times and went 3-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
Cleveland jumped on Paxton for two runs in the first inning. Josh Naylor's two-out double scored Steven Kwan, who singled to begin the inning. Josh Bell then drove in Naylor with a double to right field.
Cleveland starter Shane Bieber held the Red Sox scoreless until the sixth inning, when Yoshida hit a leadoff double and scored easily on Hernandez's two-out single to left field.
