Talk about clutch! The Red Sox just bagged their second straight series win, roaring back last night against the Giants with a huge comeback victory. Now, today’s the day Jake Bennett steps back on the mound after a brief hiatus, and trust me, taking this series is everything.
Pitching Matchup: Bennett Returns as Giants Lean on Bullpen
We need Bennett to give us at least five innings, for real. Our bullpen’s in a decent spot, thank goodness, thanks to Sonny Gray and Patrick Sandoval throwing some solid starts, plus that off day giving everyone a breather. But across the diamond? The Giants are trotting out Matt “Tugboat” Wilkinson, a big lefty with a low-90s fastball making only his second career appearance. He’s not going deep, maybe three or four innings max, so their bullpen is gonna get a workout. This is where we gotta capitalize, right?
August Heats Up: The Playoff Race Is On
Look, every game matters, but the stakes today are massive. If we want to host a playoff series, we gotta pass the Yankees in the standings. Grabbing this game, then a couple from the Miami Marlins, sets us up for an ABSOLUTELY wild, high-stakes series against the Yankees at the end of August. It’s go time, fam! First pitch is 3:15 PM, catch it live on NBC and Peacock. Let’s get it!
