At 64-51, the Red Sox still sit three games back of the Toronto Blue Jays for first in the AL East, but they are riding a seven-game winning streak and have won nine of their last 10.
On Tuesday, Boston’s bats were quiet for most of the night until the sixth and seventh inning when they broke up a 1-1 tie and took a 6-2 advantage that would prove to be the final score. Trevor Story had a couple RBI singles, first in the sixth, plating two and giving his squad a 3-1 lead, and then again in the seventh to cap the scoring for the night.
On the bump, Garrett Crochet was strong, going seven innings, allowing 2 runs, striking out eight and only allowing one walk. It moved him to 13-4 on the season, which has him tied with Milwaukee Brewers starter Freddy Peralta for the MLB lead in wins.
