Happy Monday!
The Red Sox took 2-3 and won the series with the Cincinnati Reds. Cooper Criswell’s return to the minor leagues necessitated a bullpen game but it worked. And the Kansas City Royals lost. Which put the Red Sox into sole possession of the third American League Wild Card spot. There is, of course, just over half a season remaining. So don’t plan on October baseball just yet. But after two seasons of watching the Sox sneak into a game or so of the Wild Card and then fall back it’s nice to actually hold the space for any time at all.
