In the 8th, Contreras bunts with first and second, playing small ball.  Then an intentional walk to Yoshida setting up a grand slam by Durbin to make it 5-0.  Boy, did the Sox need that.

And Tolle taking a shut out into the 8th, that is nice too.

Tolle is a stud...second game in a row that he only gave up 2 hits...this time 8 innings and no runs.  Feels good to win again, thanks Payton. And thanks to Caleb Durbin with his second grand slam this month.

Good win this afternoon. You can tell they are exhausted, so was nice to get another amazing start from Tolle and some timely, late hitting.

Let?s win this next series! Maybe Toronto can do us a favor and beat the Yankees up.

Roman Anthony will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Portland, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

Trevor Story will embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

It?s going to be very interesting to see how they integrate these guys back into the mix.  Crochet would be nice to see too.  And way easier to drop into relevance. 
Yup

Mead could be back for the playoffs too. Between Anthony, Rutschman, and Mead, that is a lot of potential added pop. I don?t know about Crochet.  Seems like he is running out of real estate.

Playoffs is not a lock but Sox could probably play 0.500 ball the rest of the way and still get the second wildcard.  I expect better than that but they need to dig in and close this out.

I hadn?t noticed how badly that 3rd AL Wild Card had dropped off since the Sox jetted into the 2nd spot.  Toronto could sneak back in the playoffs. 

There are 7 teams within 3 games of each other for the final spot!
Yup

Yoshida headed to IL will help with the Roman re-entry situation.
