last night's win

Room to grow, but the floor is solid. Winning by 7 last night moved the needle. But the 2-5 record this week is doing most of the damage.

Red Sox News

The Boston Red Sox are feeling the heat after a frustrating loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, now sitting at 64-56 and struggling with a 2-5 record over the last week. The latest blow came as Garrett Whitlock hits the injured list, further depleting a pitching staff that has already seen better days. Adding to the turmoil, Willson Contreras revealed he’s been battling a nagging leg issue, which explains his lackluster effort on the field that drew boos from Fenway faithful. On a brighter note, rookie Payton Tolle continues to impress on the mound, even if his latest start wasn't a striking showcase like before. As the season hobbles onward, the team must find a way to shake off this rough stretch and regain some momentum, or the postseason will slip further out of reach.
