The Washington Nationals (43-43) and Boston Red Sox (37-46) continue their three-game series tonight at Fenway Park, with the Red Sox looking to extend their season-high winning streak to six games.
Boston took the opener Monday night, defeating Washington 6-3. The game was won in the first inning. James Woodled off the game with a towering home run, but the Red Sox answered with a couple blasts of their own as Willson Contreras and Caleb Durbin each went yard to give the Sox a 4-1 lead after the first frame. Ranger Suarezsettled down and took it from there, allowing three runs over six innings while striking out eight to claim his fourth win of the season. Miles Mikolas allowed six runs over seven innings in the loss.
Tonight, the Nationals turn to Cade Cavalli, who takes the mound with a 4-4 record, 4.00 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 89 strikeouts in 83.1 innings. The right-hander has allowed 90 hits and 29 walks this season, and he’ll be challenged by a Boston lineup that has scored at least five runs in each game of its current five-game winning streak. Boston counters with left-hander Connelly Early, who has quietly become one of the club’s most reliable starters. Early carries a 7-5 record, 3.59 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 88 strikeouts in 87.2 innings into tonight’s matchup. Early has surrendered just 78 hits all season, and the Red Sox will look for him to continue the run of strong starting pitching that has fueled their recent surge.
Diamond Note: Boston’s 5-game winning streak has happened exclusively at Fenway Park. Prior to the streak, the Sox were an MLB-worst 12-25 at home.
