Commentary
After taking three of four from the Yankees over the weekend, the Red Sox’ won-lost record stands at 59-48.
That, among many other things, means this: They need to go 49-6 to match last season’s franchise-best 108-54 mark.
Out of reach? Well, yeah, detective. No ballclub is stringing two Morgan Magic-type runs in a row (the ’88 Sox won 24 in row at home), and this team, as talented as it is down to the 20th spot on the roster, gets in its way too much to tear off a double-digit winning streak.
