Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras was defended by interim manager Chad Tracy after being booed at Fenway Park.

The Boston Red Sox are 27-3 in their last 30 games, setting an MLB record for the fastest team to go from 14 under .500 to 13 games over it.

The Red Sox are just the seventh team since 1920 to win 27 or more in a 30-game span, and the only team to begin their run under .500.

The Red Sox will welcome their All-Star first baseman back to the lineup Saturday while sitting another regular starter who has shown signs of life with his bat in recent days.

The Los Angeles Angels have made a move, as they have claimed pitcher Ryan Watson off of waivers from the Boston Red Sox.

“I’m gonna stick with my notion that they do not make the playoffs, that they have this incredible run, and over the last six weeks they have some bumps.” The post Longtime sports analyst Rob Parker not sold that Red Sox will make playoffs appeared first on Boston.

Caleb Durbin lined a single to center field off Erick Fedde in the 13th inning to score Nick Sogard, and the Boston Red Sox rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox 12-11 on Thursday night to extend their winning streak to eight games.

The Red Sox optioned left-hander Raymond Burgos to Triple-A Worcester. They will replace him on the active roster with righty Seth Martinez, according to sources.
