Another good at bat by Duran.

Wong looks like crap at the plate. Struck out on three pitches off the plate

Fred has spent his whole life staring directly into every solar eclipse. He's trained specifically to never drop a flyball like the one Ceddanne did. 

It was a sunscreened power double by O'Neill

The 3rd out that Cedanne did track was the one that counted

At least he had the glasses over his eyes this time. Earlier in the year, he struggled with the sun while the glasses were on the top of his hat. 🤷‍♂️

Good thing Cheng can play D

[FredLynn]

Rafaela makes up for his awful blunder in CF

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The World Cup of soccer made millions. I wonder how much money the World Cup of watching paint dry would make?

[mvp 78]

Cheng's k rate is now 33.3%. That would be 2nd highest for qualified batters. It's the highest on the Sox and now surpasses Story's 32.4%.

Nice recovery by Cedanne

He isn't known for offense. But he can definitely pick it at SS. Saved the game on Monday.

One of the incredible things about the streak is wins with Seigler, Cheng and Gonzalez  in middle IF

[vegasbob]

If Bennett had the gut some Phatboy pitchers do, he might not have found that ball

So you're not talking about a six pack, you're talking about a keg.

That play wasn't THAT good. It just looks better because he's only 5'8". Story and Mayer make that play easily. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good play by Contreras.

It was good BECAUSE he is so short.

[FredLynn]

Get someone up

[vegasbob]

Bennett getting sloppy and getting hit

Good decision by Tracy

Now that the innings over it was a great decision.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I know Alonso is a power hitting 1st baseman. I didn't know he was that good defensively.

I told you he could sustain it…

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The O's have a scary lineup.

If you leave out EncarnacionStrand who is new they have only two guys in today's lineup with an OPS over .700-Ward and Alonso.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Smooth play by Romy.
