The Red Sox's three-game sweep of the Athletics was not only an offensive performance for the ages, it also put Boston in an eerily similar position as its 2013 World Series-winning counterpart.
On Wednesday, Boston recorded at least 13 runs for a third consecutive game, led by Jackie Bradley Jr., who extended his career-long hitting streak to 17 games by homering twice and driving in six runs. The Sox's 13-run, 17-hit performance in the finale gave them a total of 40 runs on 48 hits for the series.
