The Red Sox went into the ninth with a 3-2 lead, but Miami stormed back to earn a 5-3 win and avoid a sweep at Fenway Park.

The Boston Red Sox have a bullpen problem. Several of their relievers besides veteran closer Aroldis Chapman (4-2, 1.15 ERA) have struggled over the last couple of games, and they’re paying the price for it in the standings.

Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet and his wife, Rachel, are preparing to welcome their first baby. The couple hosted an elegant baby shower at Boston Athenaeum, decorated with pastel floral arrangements. They shared a carousel of photos from the celebration on Instagram on Saturday. Garrett and Rachel have been married since 2021.

With low ERAs essentially the only thing either Eovaldi or Crochet had over Skubal, he has gained an edge in this year's AL Cy Young battle. The 2024 Triple Crown winner is pacing the league in WAR at 5.6 in what may be an even more dominant campaign than his superb 2024 season.

The Red Sox lost their third straight game to drop to 65-55 overall and 26-33 on the road. The Astros improved to 67-52.

Tolle did start the year in High-A, so promoting him to the majors might be a little far-fetched. However, like Rotman said, he’s been dominant, and dominance is what the Sox need in this final stretch.

Garrett Crochet's Cy Young campaign continues, but even he needs run support. Look for Red Sox rising star Wilyer Abreu to deliver, per Neil Parker's Red Sox vs. Astros predictions for Monday, August 11,
