The Boston Red Sox's run differential over past three games is worst in MLB since 1900

The MLB All-Star break didn't seem to fix the Boston Red Sox's problems.

Boston lost by 23 runs to the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday in one of the biggest blowouts in MLB history. That's bad on its own, but the loss is even worse when grouped with the Red Sox's two previous losses to the New York Yankees where Boston lost by a combined 24 runs six days before the Blue Jays game.

The Red Sox's -47 run differential over that three-game stretch is the worst by any MLB team since 1900, according to ESPN, and the worst since the Louisville Colonels in 1894.
