The Boston Red Sox finished their sweep of the Anaheim Angels on Thursday night, with a 4-3 victory at Fenway Park. With this victory, the Sox improve to nine straight wins, helping to put some distance between them and the other AL wild-card contenders.
"This is a special run that we are going on," Boston ace Derek Lowe said. "Especially the time of year, we are getting clutch hits, the defense was phenomenal. We're having fun." Clutch is a good word. Boston as won its last ten games at Fenway Park and is 7-0 on its 10-game homestand. The Sox have swept their last three series at home.
The true story is to see how long this streak can continue against the Red Sox remaining opponents. Boston still has a series with AL wild-card contender Texas Rangers, AL West-leading Oakland Athletics, and two series with AL East rival New York Yankees. Every game is crucial for the final race into the playoffs in October.
