last night's loss

Rough stretch. A 15-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. Also weighing on the score: averaging only 2.9 runs a game. The offense is the weak link.

Red Sox News

Chad Tracy's case for AL Manager of the Year is getting stronger after he guided the Red Sox to a decisive 6-0 victory against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, showcasing his ability to turn around a struggling team. The return of Roman Anthony and Trevor Story adds another layer of excitement, as Anthony wasted no time reminding fans of his talent with a powerful swing in his first game back since May. Meanwhile, Ceddanne Rafaela continues to impress, potentially making a Silver Slugger victory a cherry on top of the Red Sox's shrewd contract extensions. Yet, the team must shake off their earlier loss in the series, as the Yankees now own the season tiebreaker, highlighting the importance of every game down the stretch. With a 74-62 record, the Red Sox are navigating a tight playoff race, and every win counts.
