Sweet Sixteen
After one of the worst performances of his career, Clay Buchholz spun a gem against the Mariners. The righty hurled seven innings, yielding just four hits and earning his 16th win of the year. The Sox continue to tease the Nation—standing 6 back of the Empire in the Wild Card with 6 games remaining with the Pinstriped Posers. Realistically, there's only a sliver of hope, but at least the final series at Fenway will offer us—at a minimum—some spoiler status.
