Coming off a big sweep in New York against the Yankees, and then directly preceding a big three-game set against the Astros, against whom the Red Sox are looking for revenge, this Monday makeup game looked prime for a let down game for Boston. It would have just made too much sense. Except, well, the Red Sox are continuing to prove they’re not that team. Nick Pivetta wasn’t as sharp as he can be, but he still got the results and an offense led by Christian Arroyo’s two-double day put enough on the board to give them their fifth straight victory.
