▼ + stars: | 2023-08-16 | by ( Field Level Media | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

August 16 - The Boston Red Sox will look to continue their push toward a playoff spot on Wednesday night in the second contest of their three-game series against the host Washington Nationals. With their 5-4 victory in the series opener Tuesday, the Red Sox have won six of their last eight games. Gore, 24, has yet to face the Red Sox in his young career. "They did an outstanding job," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. After back-to-back late comeback wins against the Oakland Athletics, the Nationals couldn't produce similar heroics against the Red Sox relievers.
