OMG! OMG! OMG! The Red Sox won another game! We are SO back, baby! We're not only going to the World Series, we're gonna win it!
The embattled Boston Red Sox won their fourth game of the season today, their first back-to-back win this year and first shutout, and in so doing, won their first series of 2026.
Sonny Gray pitched 6⅓ innings with no runs, five hits, two K's, and only two walks. The relief was outstanding again, with Weissert, Samaniego, and Watson giving up no runs, only one hit, and one walk.
Offensively, Trevor Story was the hero again, hitting a sac fly for a run in the 3rd and an RBI single in the 7th. Wilyer Abreu remained hot (.383), going two-for-four with an RBI single of his own, and later crossing the plate on a Carlos Narváez grounder.
The Red Sox improve to 4-8 (.333), still dead last in the AL East, but no longer the worst team in the League. They've passed Seattle (.308) and Oakland (.300) and are tied with the White Sox and, over in the National League, the Washington Nationals.
The Red Sox are off tomorrow - enjoy your rest, boyos, you deserve it - and then start a six-game road trip in St. Louis (7-5). Probable pitchers for game one are Connelly Early (0-0. 2.89) and our old "friend," Dustin May (0-2, 15.89). May went 1-4 for us early last year, which is why "friend" is in quotation marks. And no, that ERA is not a typo.
Three straight, anyone?
