COMMENTARY
On May 30, Rich Hill couldn’t get an out in the fifth inning, blown out by 10 runs by Baltimore. On Sunday, he struck out all-world José Ramirez in Cleveland on a fastball that didn’t crack 91 miles per hour.
Night and day. For him and his team.
Boston’s turnaround had already begun when it dropped three of five to the last-place (but relatively strong) Orioles, but has hit hyperdrive in June. No team has allowed fewer runs per game (2.91), and no team can claim better than 19 wins in 23 games.
