You could just imagine what Red Sox fans were thinking in the moments after their team was swept by the Yankees over the weekend, and fell into second place in the American League wild card race.
“No problem. We’ve got the Orioles up next, we’re fine.”
The Orioles have shown the Yankees this year that they, too, have some teeth. Wouldn’t it be nice to remind the Sox as well?
The pitching matchup tonight, though, isn’t the most advantageous for the Birds. Chris Sale goes for the Sox, and he takes a 5-0 record and 2.
