This was something of a strange game on Wednesday to kick off the doubleheader in Minnesota, and not just because it was a seven-inning game. To avoid burying the lede: The Red Sox won. Again. They have now won eight games in a row. They got a solid pitching performance from Nathan Eovaldi, and the offense did enough against a very good pitcher in Kenta Maeda. That said, they had a whole lot of chances to extend their lead, and after every time they failed it seemed like it’d come back to bite them. Except it didn’t.
