I think this win solidifies that the Red Sox are officially, tentatively, back. If you told me two weeks ago that the Red Sox would win back-to-back one-run games to get to a four-game winning streak, I would’ve thought you might be talking about the wrong color Sox. But now, Boston’s won four of five games against the Yankees, Hunter Dobbins made the biggest non-story ever completely moot with a second gem against New York, and Trevor Story and Carlos Narvaez have saved the season.
Obviously, going into this one, the Dobbins “story” was going to be mentioned, especially since it was on a national network, and I couldn’t be happier for how Dobbins shut up any remaining discussion of that with an even better performance than what he showed last weekend.
