The Red Sox, showing signs of life for the first time all season behind newcomer Trevor Story, can win their fourth straight game this afternoon at Fenway Park behind Garrett Whitlock (4:10 p.m., NESN).
The question was never if the Red Sox, and Story specifically, would start to hit, but when, and now we have our answer. With the Sox 11.5 games back of the Yankees, it’s just in the nick of time to keep all of our preseason hopes alive, but they’ll need a lot more where this has come from to get back into it.
