Anybody remember last weekend when the Red Sox went to Yankee Stadium, lost two out of three, and were outscored 19-13 in three games? Yeah, me neither. Was that really only a week ago?
Here’s the theme of today’s column: the Red Sox are winning a lot of baseball games, and now they’ve officially won six straight. Back-to-back sweeps, both on the road. An overall record of 62-29, the best record in baseball, and a two-game lead on the Yankees in the AL East (which feels like a lot even if it’s really not).
