The Red Sox didn’t get a sweep this time around, but after finishing off the “first half” in strong fashion, Boston did get another series victory. This time, it was solid overall effort from all corners. Brian Johnson didn’t go deep, but he was good enough in the time he was in there. The bullpen also pitched in some bend-but-don’t break fashion and were able to preserve the lead. Offensively, Xander Bogaerts did the thing again and overall the lineup had a good enough day. There really wasn’t anything standing out here, but the team pulled out yet another win and heads into the All-Star break with 68 victories to their name.
