The Red Sox left Boston at .500 and returned six games later still at .500. You might have expected the distribution of wins to be more slanted towards the Cleveland series than with the Yankees but it was 1-2 and 2-1. Baseball!
James Paxton was everything Alex Cora could have asked for last time out: 7 strong innings allowing just 2 runs with 9 Ks. They needed a stopper after the Tampa Bay series and he came through. Tonight’s matchup is against a weaker opponent than even the Guardians: the Colorado Rockies.
