The Boston Red Sox kept the good vibes flowing Thursday night when they blew up the White Sox with the final score 16-7.
The Red Sox and Trevor Story for that matter are red hot right now. Boston came alive when they desperately needed their jolt, and it paid off. The Sox are just a couple of games under the .500 mark, and we look forward to continuing that success as they face last place from Orioles at Fenway Park over the weekend.
A mediocre performance in Chicago was blown away by Boston with an eighth-inning lead by five runs, and there was no looking back, even for the Red Sox.
Home runs Trevor Storey, Kiki Hernandez, and Kevin Blawicke on Boston Road. Seven different Sox players contributed to the RBI division, and all nine starting players in Alex Cora’s squad scored with success. That’s a good job on the field.
Red Sox: Trevor’s story makes more history
It’s almost as if I wrote several versions of this story, like… well, the story seems to be making history on a daily basis. Given his recent hot streak, it’s surprising that he hasn’t hit that mark soon.
For reference, this franchise dates back to 1901.
Red Sox crime recorded at a historical rate
This is the first time Boston’s attack has scored more than 16 points since… Tuesday? Yes, earlier this week the Sox beat Chicago by a 16-3 blast.
However, this is only the second time in the history of the Boston franchise that the team has scored 16+ twice on the same road trip. First time? How about July of 1939, when Team Boston fired some offensive fireworks at Philadelphia Athletics Reassuring.
Josh Harrison scores White Sox finals
We’ve seen a lot of position players advance early in the season as coaches try to salvage their arms when they are really needed, rather than in the final inning of a blast. Who else tried his hand? White Sox player Josh Harrison.
Harrison only gave up two runs – not bad considering the performances of his peers Albert Pujols and Yadir Molina – while capitalizing on this strike call against Xander Bogarts.
Home board referee Todd Tichenor just wanted to go home.
