BALTIMORE -- Even now, as the wins pile up and the division lead swells, the Boston Red Sox's starting rotation has a top-heavy feel that inspires a few verses reminiscent of another Boston baseball team from a bygone era.
"Spahn and Sain and pray for rain?" Try "Porcello and Price and roll the dice."
Well, unless Eduardo Rodriguez keeps pitching the way he did here Tuesday night.
The Red Sox are pulling away in the American League East after their sixth consecutive victory, 5-2 over the Baltimore Orioles, so they might have the luxury of organizing their rotation entering the playoffs.
