The Boston Red Sox are striving to stay in the playoff hunt with a pivotal series against the Baltimore Orioles, recently winning 5-1 despite bullpen struggles. Center fielder Jarren Duran played a crucial role with a go-ahead hit, and he and David Hamilton became the first Red Sox duo since 1910 to each steal 30 bases in a season. Manager Alex Cora continues to shuffle his bullpen combinations due to recent poor performances, including a 6.91 ERA since the All-Star break. Despite these struggles, the bullpen managed to secure a 9-4 victory over the Texas Rangers after a solid start by Kutter Crawford. The Red Sox are getting key players back from injury, like Tyler O'Neill, which could bolster their lineup as they push for a wild card spot.
