This season seems to, like 2022 and 2023, have a few series where the Red Sox simply vanish from competitive play. Losing two-of-three to the St. Louis Cardinals was one. Getting blown up by the Milwaukee Brewers? Not as bad but still disappointing.
The Baltimore Orioles however are good. This is where those Cardinals games would be nice to have in the win column already. In their three games at Fenway Park earlier this year the O’s swept 7-1, 7-5, and 9-4 with the final game ending in the 10th inning so, uh, yeah that one hurts.
