Slugfest for the Sox today. Tomorrow they won't hit a thing.

Kike's up to 5 errors now. Two yesterday. Bubbled on one play and another ball that short-hopped Casas right after he went in.

I probably saw 3 total innings of the game at various points. I "got" to see Kike's two errors, Duvall's two doubles in the exact same spot and Brazier further establish himself as a fan favorite. (not) I didn't get to see Devers' two homers. doh!!!

After Sunday's game Sox have dates with four division leaders coming up - 14 games.  Includes Rays, Angels, Twins and Brewers.  That may not end well since we're only about .500 against a softer schedule.  But we'll at least see how this club competes in adversity, and what buttons Cora will push.
