Tonight, the Red Sox try to extend their winning streak to seven games.
Tonight is a sneaky big game for the Red Sox. If they win, they not only extend their win streak to seven games, but with Garrett Crochet on the mound tomorrow and then an off day on Thursday, a win tonight represents a key step in potentially entering Friday’s circus in San Francisco on an eight game winning streak. It would be so theraputic for this team to enter a most chaotic weekend playing their best baseball of the season. It would also keep raising the floor of this west coast road trip, a slice of the season where they often struggle.
Tasked with keeping the momentum going is Walker Buehler, who went seven strong innings last time out. Overall, Red Sox pitching has held opponents to a total of just eight runs over their last six games.
Here’s the lineups:
First Pitch: 9:40p.m (ET).
TV: NESN
Radio: WEEI
