The Red Sox finally overcame the power of the sausage to defeat the Minnesota Twins and snap their winning streak at an impressive 12 games. Now they hope to keep the good times rolling against the Atlanta Braves.
Kutter Crawford, who has seen his ERA balloon to 1.56 recently, take the ball. Kidding about ERA aside his last start was one of his best. Over 7 innings he allowed 2 runs while striking out 6 and walking just 2. Now, the San Francisco Giants aren’t the Atlanta Braves but Acuña, Olsen, Riley, and Albies have not been the dominant forces projected coming into the season.
