The Boston Red Sox have had a bit of 7th inning magic working in their favor to spark comeback wins in each of their last two games.
There was the epic rally against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in which the Red Sox piled up 11 runs on 12 hits in the 7th inning. The next night, Boston couldn’t even muster one hit against White Sox starter Lucas Giolito until the fifth inning and remained scoreless through six. The bats finally broke out in – you guessed it – the seventh inning. A four-run rally capped by a Mookie Betts home run tied the game in that frame.
