1) The number seven has been as lucky as advertised for the Red Sox in recent days, as Boston has put together three separate seven-run innings since Monday (and two in the last two days). It’s the first time that has happened on back-to-back days since May 2019.

Boston racked up seven runs in the inning on its way to a 10-3 victory, its second lopsided win in as many days.

Ceddanne Rafaela hit a two-run home run as part of a seven-run third inning that carried the visiting Boston Red Sox to a 10-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday.
