This feels like the last chance for the 2026 Red Sox to save their season. All year we’ve seen them lose momentum in a heartbreaking way over and over again. They found a way to avoid that tonight and it turned out to be the high point of the season. Probably the first night Craig Breslow will sleep in months. But it needs to start from this point on. No exceptions. No foot off the gas. Now or never if you want to keep this clubhouse together. You’ve dug this hole and can’t afford to wait any longer. Not saying it’s going to flip from this point forward, but this is the type of series/win you were so desperate for.
Playoff odds back up to 17.3%.
Payton Tolle was sick heading into this start and had spent most of the last two days in bed, per @alexspeier.
If you need another reason to love the man… absolute dog.
The Red Sox had a real chance to sweep a series against the worst team in baseball and they’re about to lose two of three. And you’ve got the CBO saying there’s still plenty of season left and they’ve just gotta get on a run. This team fucking BLOWS and will never go on a run.
The Red Sox, Rockies, and Giants are all tied for the fewest wins in baseball at 31.
Only the Angels are below the Red Sox in the American League standings. Just .5 back.
Happy Daniel Nava Day to all those who celebrate 🙏
16 years ago today, he took Joe Blanton deep for a grand slam on the first pitch he ever saw in the big leagues.
