The Boston Red Sox have been playing great baseball from the get go of the 2018 season jumping 17-2 out of the gate. The Bosox may be playing their best ball of the year as they have now won 10 straight games. Tonight they beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-4 on the strength of a 13 pitch grand slam HR off Jays ace J.A. Happ.
At 66-29, the Red Sox own MLB's best record. But they have a modest 3.5 game lead over the New York Yankees with three games left before the All-Star Break. If the Red Sox play .500 ball the rest of the season they will finish the regular season with 100 wins. The Red Sox haven't won 100 games in a season since 1946. Of course, 100 wins won't matter much if the Sox get eliminated in the ALDS for a third straight year. But for the moment whatever Alex Cora is doing it's working.
