The Boston Red Sox are clicking on every cylinder. With last night’s 6-3 victory over the New York Mets, they have now won 6 straight. The Red Sox will go for their 7th tonight in the final game of their 2-game set with the Mets. The expected starters are lefty Chris Sale for Boston and Taijuan Walker for New York. Sale has not missed a beat since returning from Tommy John surgery. The future Hall of Famer is 4-0 in 6 starts with a 2.40 ERA and Boston is 6-0 in his last 6 starts at Fenway. New York, on the other hand, is moving in the opposite direction. The Mets have lost 6 of their last 7, are 0-7 in Walker’s last 7 starts against a team with a winning record, and 0-5 in their last 5 meetings with Boston.
