Boston is 1-1 against the Yankees thus far in a 10-day, 9-game homestand...after Thursday s off-day, the Sox host their final Interleague set of the year against the Phillies, followed by 3 here against the Blue Jays. ON THE RECORD: The Red Sox are 9-5 (.643) since 8/18, tied for the 3rd-best record in the AL...They rank 5th in the AL with a (.567) record dating back to 7/30...The Sox are (.507) in their last 67 games (dating back to 6/16) after starting the year (.415). Boston is 14.0 GB in the AL East, 2.0 games behind the 4th place Orioles (63-69), who have lost 12 of their last 13...They are 8.0 GB for the 2nd Wild Card. IN THE MARGINS: The Red Sox only 3 losses in their last 8 contests have been by 1 or 2 runs...6 of the Sox last 13 losses since the start of August have come in 1-run games. Boston s last 2 wins have come in games in which the club scored 4 runs or fewer...the club has won 4 of its last 8 games when scoring 4 or less, the same number of wins in their previous 21 contests scoring 4 or less. SERIES BUSINESS: Boston enters today s rubber game having not lost any of its last 5 sets, going in series play...this is the fi rst time the team has gone 5 straight sets without being defeated since 8/19-9/15/13 (8 series). OPEN IT UP: Monday marked Boston s 4th straight victory in a series opener...the Sox are in the fi rst game of a series this year...in the AL, only the Royals (27) have more series-opening wins this season. BOUNCE-BACK MONTH: Boston went in August for the team s 2nd winning month of 2015 (12-10 in April)... The Sox 161 runs in August trailed only Toronto (170) and the Mets (168)...It was the Sox best record and most runs in any regular season month since September 2013 (16-9, 162 R), and their most runs in August since 2009 (165 R). An ML-best 7 different Red Sox batters (min. 50 PA) hit at least.300 in August: Swihart (.373), Bradley (.354), Ortiz (.352), Castillo (.338), Bogaerts (.324), Betts (.314), and Shaw (.310)...It was the fi rst month in which at least 7 Red Sox each hit.300 or better (min. 50 PA) since May 1999: Daubach, Garciaparra, Lewis, Jefferson, Nixon, Offerman, O Leary, Valentin. FANNING 13 YANKEES: Rick Porcello allowed 3 runs (1 ER) over 8.0 IP in last night s loss, striking out a career-high 13 batters, the most by a Red Sox this season. According to Elias, his 13 strikeouts tied for the most ever by a Sox pitcher against the Yankees at Fenway Park (also Pedro Martinez, 13 SO on 5/30/01)...It was the most strikeouts for any pitcher against NYY since Chris Sale fanned 13 Yankees on 8/22/12 in Chicago. Elias says Porcello became just the 3rd pitcher with at least 13 SO in a loss to the Yankees, along with Hall of Famer Rube Waddell twice for the Philadelphia A s (13 SO on 8/1/1903; 14 SO on 9/6/1904), and Marv Grissom (13 SO on 9/13/52) for the White Sox. 6 AUGUST WINS: Joe Kelly earned 6 of Boston s 15 wins in August, winning all 6 Aug. starts (2.68 ERA, 11 ER/37.0 IP).

BRADLEY BONANZA: Jackie Bradley Jr. doubled twice last night for his 8th career game with multiple XBH, 4 of which have come since 8/9...In 20 games since that date, he leads MLB with a.438 AVG and 19 XBH, including an ML-high 11 2B to go along with 4 3B and 5 HR...16 of his last 21 hits have gone for extra bases (11 2B, 3B, 4 HR).

STARTING STRONG: Red Sox starting pitchers have gone at least 5.0 IP in each of the club s last 30 games (beginning 7/30), the Sox longest such streak since 7/18-8/31/04 (41 G)...According to Elias, that is the longest such streak by an AL team this season, and the longest active streak in the majors...the only teams with longer streaks in 2015 are MIL (48, 6/8-8/1), NYM (40, 4/6-5/19), and SD (35, 7/11-8/22). Boston starters have allowed 1 or 0 ER in 5 of the club s last 6 games, with starters allowing just 8 ER in 38.1 IP (1.88 ERA) during those contests...since 8/18, Sox starters are 8-3 with a 2.42 ERA (25 ER/93.0 IP), 2nd in the AL, allowing 2 ER or less in 11 of 14 games.

HOME IMPROVEMENT: The Sox have won 10 of their last 16 home games to improve to at Fenway this year. The Sox have an AL-best.291 home AVG...In the AL, only Toronto (5.6) is averaging more runs per home game than Boston s Xander Bogaerts ranks 3rd among AL players in home AVG (.346, 89-for-257). MILESTONES APPROACHING: David Ortiz is 1 homer shy of his 3rd straight 30-homer season...it would be the 9th 30-HR campaign of his career, all since joining Boston in 2003, which would surpass Ted Williams (8) for the most 30-homer seasons in Red Sox history. Ortiz has 495 career home runs, 5 shy of becoming the 27th player ever to reach Among actives, only Alex Rodriguez (680) & Albert Pujols (554) have more.
