The Boston Red Sox are officially within striking distance of securing a playoff spot, needing to drop their magic number in the next week or so, and they are sending Jake Bennett to the mound tonight in a series finale that could make it happen against the Los Angeles Angels.
Bennett Aims to Keep Red Sox Rolling After a “Fabulous” Weekend
Look, when a team is trying to get into the playoffs, every start is huge, and Jake Bennett’s got the ball to get that Red Sox rotation back on track. This dude is coming off what they’re calling a “fabulous weekend” in Baltimore. You know the kind of starts that just spark a whole club? That’s what Boston needs out of him tonight. They can snag this series from the Angels and take a huge step toward locking down their postseason berth. It’s Wednesday night at Fenway Park, and the stakes could not be higher for the Sox.
Angels Counter With Hot Hand Ryan Johnson
But don’t sleep on the Angels, because they’re throwing Ryan Johnson out there, and this guy has been dealing. We’re talking one run or fewer in four of his last five starts! That’s flat out throwing the ball well. It’s not going to be easy for Boston’s bats to get anything going against a pitcher in that kind of groove. This series finale is going to be a battle, with both teams bringing their A-game on the mound.
Tonight’s game is more than just a series rubber match, it’s about the Red Sox pushing themselves closer to that playoff dream. Can Bennett maintain his momentum and outduel Johnson, or will the Angels spoil the party? You gotta tune in to see what goes down.
