It's safe to say the Boston Red Sox put their first series of the season firmly in the rear-view mirror.
Since dropping their first three games of the season to the Baltimore Orioles, the Red Sox have done nothing but win. They swept the Tampa Bay Rays last week, then followed that up with three straight wins against the O's in Baltimore.
On Tuesday, they kept the win streak going, earning consecutive victory No. 7 with a 4-2 win over the Minnesota Twins.
Backed by reliable pitching, the Red Sox also have had plenty of offensive fireworks. And as they sit atop the American League and second in Major League Baseball overall, they're putting up some A.L.-leading numbers.
These stats, shared by Sox stats guru Justin Long, demonstrates just how impressive Boston has been.
Not bad!
The contributions have been coming from up and down the lineup, but it largely has been J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers driving the bus, as the two Sox sluggers are among the top hitters in the game right now.
The Red Sox will look to keep things going Wednesday as they play a double-header against the Twins. Both games will be seven innings, with first pitch in the opener set for 2:10 p.m. ET with the second game beginning 30 minutes after the first ends.
Nathan Eovaldi will be on the mound for Game 1, with Eduardo Rodriguez tabbed for the nightcap.
