What's up, everyone?
Zach Coe here for Roundtable at Fenway Park after the Red Sox came roaring out of the All-Star break en route to a 10-nothing win over the American League-leading Tampa Bay Rays, extending their season-high winning streak to 10.
It was an offensive explosion for the Red Sox in game one of the double header as the team scored a season-high 10 runs at Fenway Park, something they've only done once this year, coming in that Texas Rangers series in June with the Tartan Army takeover.
And the Red Sox did it in a bunch of different ways here.
They were powered by a pair of home runs, one off the bat of Carlos Arraez over the Green Monster, which you can see just over my left shoulder here, onto Landis Down Street, and then another one that was wrapped perfectly around the pesky pole by designated hitter Masataka Yoshida.
And it was another fantastic performance from rookie lefty Jake Bennett, who gave six shutout innings to the Red Sox lineup before departing for 27th man Alec Gamboa, who nailed down the team's 10th shutout of the season.
Red Sox have a chance to get back to .500 for the first time since the second game of the year when they were 1-1 in tonight's game two.
Eduardo Rivera will get the start for the Red Sox.
He'll likely be used in an opener role before giving way to a well-rested Red Sox pen.
