The Red Sox are never going to lose again. Probably. Maybe. This game wasn’t quite the same kind of utter dominance as many of their recent wins have been, but it was still convincing enough. Boston now has seven wins in a row, with their latest coming behind a strong effort from Eduardo Rodriguez, yet another leadoff home run from Mookie Betts and another strong day in the middle of the lineup for J.D. Martinez. This team is seriously a machine right now.
The Red Sox offense wasn’t quite as explosive on Thursday as they have been at other points during this incredible recent run, but honestly that says more about the run they’ve been on than anything.
