last night's loss

Nothing is running away in either direction. A 3-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. At least pitching at 2.7 RA/G. That's keeping the score warm.

Red Sox News

The Boston Red Sox are feeling the pressure after a tense 0-0 stalemate against the Tampa Bay Rays, but the team's recent form shows promise with a 4-2 record over the last week and a remarkable +8 run differential. However, the injury scare involving Willson Contreras, who was forced out of the last game after being hit by a pitch, raises concerns about depth as he navigates a bruised hand. With Contreras day-to-day, the Red Sox need their hot bats,like Wilyer Abreu, hitting .303,to step up even more against a formidable Rays squad. The pitching has been on point, allowing just 2.6 runs per game lately, but the offense must find its stride. As the Sox look to improve, they can’t afford to let opportunities slip by, especially with the AL East's competitive nature looming large.
