Red Sox 11, Twins 9: A wild two-game win streak
Photo by Billie Weiss/Boston Red Sox/Getty Images The Red Sox are officially on perhaps the ugliest winning streak known to mankind. This two-game win streak also seems incredibly on-brand for how poorly this team has been playing since July. Monday’s 8-4 win included horrible defense and a blown save from closer Matt Barnes, and today’s nearly included the latter part at least as well.
The Red Sox needed these two wins, needed it like how a human needs oxygen. That might be a tad bit overdramatic, sure, but they really needed some sort of positive momentum. Tonight the Red Sox went ahead and nearly lost a baseball game, thanks again to poor defense and a complete and utter bullpen meltdown.
