COMMENTARY
The Red Sox quietly churned on this weekend, walked off twice in Toronto in a sweep that continued their weeks-long trend of making them easy to ignore.
After four straight losses, 10 losses in 12, and 16 in 22, they’re looking up at .500 with 12 games remaining. They’re as close to falling behind Terry Francona’s Guardians as they are to getting back past the Yankees, and outside of three with the White Sox, they’ve got nothing but playoff aspirants left to face.
Triston Casas joined Jarren Duran on the shelf of young talent likely done for the year, shoulder inflammation getting him scratched Friday and sent back to Boston.
