The tagline for Heroes was “save the cheerleader, save the world.” For the Red Sox now it’s “win the series, save the season.” This team is confounding and just won’t quit or take off. Instead they exist in a place to neither know victory nor defeat.
The Red Sox send Kutter Crawford out against the Baltimore Orioles tonight. Since July 4th Crawford has tossed at least five innings every time out and allowed more than three runs just once. He’s handled the Yankees, Blue Jays, Rays, and Astros.
