The Red Sox, as we know by now, went home with a victory and avoided a sweep at the hands of the Astros thanks to a walk-off single from Mitch Moreland. That was important in terms of the division race, because the Yankees were unable to complete their sweep in Seattle. New York left a whole lot of runners on base and that came back to bite them in a one-run loss. Boston is now up by 8.5 games in the division with a magic number of 11.
This is not much of a race, but it is technically still going, so we follow!
