Red Sox 4, Blue Jays 3: Another series, another sweep
It’s a sweep and it’s win number 101, though there will be some negativity coming out of this win. First, the positives. They won, which was neat, and the magic number is down to six. On top of that, Eduardo Rodriguez looked very good and was efficient, which is huge given how important of a role he figures to play in October. Boston needs him on track, and he looked that way on Thursday. Plus, they got some power from J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers. However, they also had to overcome another poor performance, this time from Joe Kelly. The righty had nothing in this game, and he could very well be pitching his way off the postseason roster. Oh, and Eduardo Núñez left with an injury, though there’s hope it was just precautionary. Either way, they got a win, and a win is a win is a win is a win.
