The Red Sox are a first-place team again, and they’re starting to play like it, too.
After spending the first part of this week proving they could beat a really good team, they spent Thursday night proving they could beat up on a really bad one.
With their rejuvenated offense finally awakened from a late-July slumber, the Red Sox scored a bunch of runs early and never ran into serious trouble in a 9-5 win against the White Sox.
After winning two straight against the Indians, the Red Sox have now won three in a row for the first time since July 4.
