After last night's
5-3 win over the hapless Orioles, here are some interesting tid-bits on your
2018 Carmine Hose (courtesy of the good folks from @SoxNotes):
"The Red Sox’ 71 wins are their most ever through the first 102 games of a season. Boston is 40 games above .500 (71-31) for the first time since the 1949 club was a season-best 96-56." Rick Porcello delivered six shutout innings, while
Andrew Benintendi (2 RBIs) and
Mitch Moreland (solo HR) supplied
most of the offense in the victory that moved Boston
a full six games ahead of the
The Bronx Embalmers in the American League East. 'Pretty Ricky' got his 12th win of the year, striking out six Birds, and walking just one—lowering his ERA to 3.93. Both
Brandon Workman and
Craig Kimbrel had uncharacteristic "hiccups" in relief, but it all ended well at
Camden Yards. The "cherry" on top of the victory was the 7-6 defeat of
The Evil Ones at the hands of the mighty Rays.
