The big bats in the Boston Red Sox lineup are heating up for the stretch run as the club aims to maintain their hold on the top Wild Card spot.
Boston is currently riding a five-game winning streak that has vaulted them a game ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays and 2.5 ahead of the New York Yankees. The Red Sox own the head-to-head tiebreakers over both of their division rivals, so while they can’t get comfortable yet, Boston is clearly in the driver’s seat for a postseason spot.
While the pitching has been strong over the last several weeks, the offense is coming to life during this winning streak.
