It’s impossible not to love what the Boston Red Sox are doing right now.
The pitching has been solid, the bats are on fire and the defense has been top class. The end result as of Wednesday night is a nine-game winning streak following a sweep of the doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins.
It was a slow start to the season for the Sox, but they’ve since turned things around in a big way. Their most recent Instagram post, which came after the nightcap against Minnesota, drew a comment from David Ortiz.
“Backk like we never left,” Big Papi wrote.
Indeed, this Sox team is treating their current heater like it’s just business as usual. Now, they’ll try to make it 10 straight victories when they play the series finale against the Twins on Thursday afternoon.
First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m. ET, with pregame coverage on NESN starting at noon. Garrett Richards will be on the mound for the Sox opposite Michael Pineda.
