The Boston Red Sox are back at ground zero as they have improved to 19-19 after a 2-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The team is finally starting to take shape as they are 8-2 over their last ten games.
According to Fangraphs, the Red Sox offense lead all of baseball in RBIs and walks since April 17th. The overall pitching has also been better than expected, especially with the temporary loss of Nathan Eovaldi and the off-season loss of Craig Kimbrel.
The Red Sox seem to be missing something important, and that something is a true closer.
