The Red Sox can win their third straight game to start September when they return to Fenway Park tonight to face the Indians behind Nathan Eovaldi (7:10 p.m., NESN).
What a difference two days makes, Wednesday’s win over the Rays stopped another round of bleeding with a late surge, while yesterday’s victory was a thing of beauty from start to finish. When Garrett Richards is closing out games with flair, it’s sure possible a #TurningPoint has been passed.
We will found out tonight if it has or hasn’t against Red Sox-by-family-lineage righty Cal Quantrill. The COVID-ravaged lineups continue, with good luck charm Jack López starting his third game in a row (and third game ever), and one of Wednesday’s heroes, Jarren Duran, is back in center with the righty on the mound.
