Happy Wednesday.
The Red Sox won in convincing fashion last night, minus another brief bullpen meltdown, to improve to 63-55. They are 1.0 game back of the Wild Card and 6.5 of the division-leading Yankees ( ) in the AL East.
Tanner Houck takes the ball for a slightly early start - 6:10 PM ET - as this is a getaway day without a day off for travel to Baltimore.
Remembering 2004
Game 118: The Red Sox walk off the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 to improve to 66-52.
