Theyve won won just 15 games at their home ground in the Fens, the lowest number of any team in the league. All of this makes it grandly hilarious that the one team they apparently can beat at home right now is the New York Yankees. After beating the Yankees yet again, this time behind Jake Bennetts clean 6.1 innings, the Red Sox are now on their longest win streak of the season. Yes, three wins is not a very impressive streak. But, again, that just makes it even funnier that those three wins have come at the expense of the Yankees. Lets all laugh at their pain! The Sox scored early and often off Gerritt Cole, with Masataka Yoshida and Anthony Seigler picking up the daddy-torch Rafal Devers left in his locker 12 months ago. (Wait, ew, whats a daddy-torch? I dont want to think about it. Lets move on.) Yoshidas homer came in the first plate appearance of the game for the Sox, setting the tone for a pretty nice day at the ballpark. The two rivals will go at it again tomorrow as the Sox try to complete 2026s funniest sweep. Three StudsJake Bennett: The pitching depth, it is for realz. Bennett only struck out three batters, but found a way to keep the Yanks off the basepaths for most of the afternoon, taking his start all the way into the seventh. Masataka Yoshida: Might this be the start of one of Masas patented hey! hes a pretty good hitter! two-month stretches at the plate? TBD, but he notched two hits today and scored twice.Anthony Seigler: Ceddanne Rafalea joined Masa in the two-hit club, as he continues to build his case as one of the low-key best outfielders in the game. But Seiglers bomb was the first of his career, so lets stud him for that. One DudJarren Duran: Another 0-4 day and another two strikeouts for a guy who has been an offensive blackhole for most of the season. Is there some kind of rule that says the 2026 Red Sox need to have someone who is hitting worse than everyone else in the league at all times? Play of the GameIts one of the biggest days of Anthony Seiglers life, folks.View Link
