Diamondbacks 88-65.575 PLAYOFF BOUND: The Red Sox clinched a postseason berth on Wednesday, when a 9-0 win at BAL was coupled with an Angels loss to the Indians...BOS will be competing in the playoffs in consecutive years for the 1st time since doing so in 3 straight seasons from 2007-09. The Sox can clinch at least the top Wild Card spot today with a win OR with a Twins loss (at DET, 7:10 p.m.)...bos has never played in the Wild Card Game. EASTERN STANDARD: The Red Sox lead the 2nd-place Yankees by 3.0 games in the AL East...BOS has begun 9 consecutive days with a lead of exactly 3.0 games. The Sox have been in sole possession of 1st place in the AL East since the end of play on 8/1. Since the AL East was formed in 1969, the Sox have won 8 division titles (last: 2016)...They have never won the AL East in consecutive years. ZERO TOLERANCE: Red Sox pitchers have allowed 0 runs in their last 26.0 IP (32 SO, 3 BB, 14-for-89,.157 opp. AVG)...The Sox have thrown back-to-back shutouts for the 2nd time this season (also 5/26-27 vs. SEA)...BOS last threw 3 straight shutouts in September 2015 (9/25-27 vs. BAL). The Sox have thrown 10 shutouts this season; their 7 shutouts since the All-Star break rank 2nd in the AL (CLE-10) and T-4th in the majors. PITCHING IN: During the club s current 11-3 stretch, Red Sox pitchers have posted a 2.17 ERA and held opponents to a.200 AVG (145.0 IP, 105 H, 35 ER, 172 SO)...In that time (since 9/5), BOS leads the majors in opponent AVG and ranks 2nd in ERA behind only CLE (2.05). Overall, the Sox 3.62 ERA ranks 2nd in the AL and 4th in the majors...since 6/26, their 3.31 ERA ranks 2nd in MLB behind only the Indians (2.90). RELIEF EFFORT: In the club s last 14 games, Red Sox relievers have posted a 1.27 ERA (64.0 IP, 39 H, 9 ER, 81 SO)...Overall, BOS owns the 2nd-lowest bullpen ERA in the majors (3.08) behind CLE (2.79) (source: Elias). ON THE OFFENSIVE: The Red Sox have scored 9+ runs in 6 of their last 12 games...in that span (since 9/8), they are averaging 6.4 runs and batting.274 (125-for-457, 12 HR). The Sox are 64-33 (.660) when they hit at least 1 HR and 36-8 (.818) when hitting at least 2...They have won 24 games in which they hit 0 HR, more than any other team in the majors (24-31,.436). The Sox are 53-3 (.946) this season when scoring 6+ runs, the highest such winning % in MLB...Dating back to 7/29/16, BOS is 74-3 (.961) in such games. FAREWELL TOUR: The Red Sox are 5-1 on their current 9-game road trip...they are 16-7 in their last 23 road games. This is the 1st time the Sox have played as many as 3 extra-inning games on a single road trip since 2014 (3 games, 8/25-9/14)...They have earned 8 extra-inning wins on the road this season (8-2), matching their franchise record set in 1956 (source: Elias). RED SOX & REDLEGS: The Red Sox have won 9 of 10 meetings with the Reds, including each of the last 6...BOS has twice won 7 consecutive games against a single NL opponent (7 vs. PHI from 2015-17; 7 vs. MIA from 2012-15). NATIONAL AFFAIR: The Red Sox are 30-10 (.750) against the NL since 9/4/15, including 13-4 in 2017. At 224-156 (.589), the Red Sox trail the Yankees (.592, 226-156) by.003 for the best win % in Interleague play since its inception in 1997...Since 2003, the Sox.646 Interleague win % (179-98) ranks well ahead of the 2nd-best mark in that time (NYY;.596, 167-113). GRAB A BAT: In the Sox last game at an NL ballpark (6/15 at PHI), Chris Sale s 8th-inning double snapped an 0-for-35 streak for BOS pitchers as hitters...it was the 1st hit by a Sox pitcher since Rick Porcello on 4/25/16 at ATL...The last BOS pitcher to homer was Josh Beckett on 6/14/09 at PHI. TOUGH LUCK: Rick Porcello has 17 losses this season; in 10 of those, the Red Sox scored 0 runs while he was in the game, and in the other 7 they scored either 1 or 2 runs for him. Porcello is 10-0 with a 3.69 ERA (34 ER/83.0 IP) when the Red Sox score 3+ runs with him in the game. FEATS OF MOOKIE: During the Sox current 11-3 stretch, Mookie Betts has hit.300 (18-for-60) with 18 RBI, 13 runs scored, 11 XBH (4 2B, 2 3B, 5 HR), and a 1.066 OPS. Betts has 96 RBI and 96 runs scored this season, after he finished 2016 with 113 RBI and 122 runs...the only Red Sox player ever to record multiple 100/100 seasons before turning 25 is Ted Williams (1939-42). MR. 300: Chris Sale had 13 SO with 0 BB in 8.0 scoreless innings on Wednesday at BAL, bringing his season strikeout total to 300 (41 BB)...He joined Pedro Martinez (313 in 1999) as the only Red Sox with 300+ SO in a season. Elias notes that Sale recorded the 35th 300-SO season in the modern era, but in only 2 of the 34 previous instances did a pitcher have fewer walks than Sale did at the time of No. 300: Curt Schilling in 2002 (31 BB) and Pedro Martinez in 1999 (37 BB).

CLOSING TIME: Craig Kimbrel has allowed 0 runs in his last 9 games (9.0 IP, 2 H, 18 SO, 3 BB)...He has struck out 121 of 240 batters faced this season (50.4%), well ahead of the next-highest rate in the majors (Jansen, 41.6%) (min. 100 BF). Kimbrel leads ML relievers in SO/9.0 IP (16.75), WHIP (0.66), opponent AVG (.131), and opponent OPS (.418)...He leads AL relievers in ERA (1.38).
