If the Boston Red Sox go on to win the American League East, their recent performance on the road will be a big reason why.
On the team’s current, and final, road trip of the regular season, the Red Sox have gone a combined 7-1 against the Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles and Cincinnati Reds. And thanks to five consecutive wins, with a chance for six against the Reds on Sunday, Boston’s magic number to clinch the division is down to five.
