The Sox have been in sole possession of 1st place 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. MANAGING EXPECTATIONS: John Farrell has already led the Red Sox to 2 AL East titles (2013, 2016); no BOS manager has ever won the division 3 times...prior to Farrell becoming manager in 2013, the Sox won the AL East twice in the previous 22 seasons (1991-2012). PLAYOFF BOUND: The Red Sox clinched a postseason berth on 9/20...They will be competing in the playoffs in consecutive years for the 1st time since 2007-09. The Sox have also clinched at least the top Wild Card spot...bos has never played in the Wild Card Game. STATE OF THE SOX: The Red Sox are 1-3 in their last 4 games, but they are 15-6 in their last 21...Since the nonwaiver trade deadline (7/31), their.660 winning percentage (35-18) ranks 2nd in the majors behind CLE (.768, 43-13). MLB S BEST RECORDS RK. TEAM RECORD WIN % 1. Dodgers 102-57.642 2. Indians 100-59.629 3. Astros 99-60.623 4. Nationals 96-63.604 T5. Red Sox 92-67.579 T5. Diamondbacks 92-67.579 ON THE OFFENSIVE: The Red Sox have hit at least 1 HR in each of their last 8 games, the club s longest streak of the season...they have homered in 18 of their last 20 games. The Sox are 68-36 (.654) when they hit at least 1 HR and 37-8 (.822) 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). NEVER GIVE UP: The Red Sox have won 14 games after trailing by 3+ runs this season, the most by the club since it had 16 such wins in 1959 (source: Elias). The Sox have overcome a deficit of 3+ runs in 5 of their last 9 wins (9/15 at TB, 9/18 at BAL, 9/22 at CIN, 9/24 at CIN, 9/27 vs. TOR). The Sox lead the majors in wins when trailing after 5 innings (20), when trailing after 6 (16), and when trailing after 7 (11)...They also lead MLB with 17 wins when tied (12) or trailing (5) after 8 innings. CLOSE CALLS: The Red Sox are 51-41 in games decided by 3 runs or fewer, including 18-7 since 8/1, 10-3 since 8/28, and 5-1 since 9/18...In 2016, they went 48-49 in such games. PITCHING IN: The Red Sox rank 4th in the majors with a 3.71 ERA (CLE-3.34, LAD-3.36, ARI-3.67)...They have not finished a season with an ERA that low since 1992 (3.59). The Sox posted a 3.96 ERA in their first 75 games of the season through 6/25, but their 3.50 ERA since 6/26 ranks 3rd in the majors. BOS owns the 2nd-lowest bullpen ERA in the majors (3.12) behind CLE (2.93) (source: Elias). IT S A WALK-OFF: The Sox rank T-3rd in MLB with 10 walkoff wins (BAL-12, OAK-11, LAD-10, PIT-10)...The only other season since 1997 that BOS had 10+ such wins was 2013 (11). 8 different players have recorded at least 1 walk-off RBI for the Sox this season (Benintendi-2, Ramirez-2), the club s most since 1995 (also 8)...BOS last had more than 8 players record a walk-off RBI in 1942 (9) (source: Elias). SOX & STROS: BOS will open postseason play against either HOU, CLE, or MIN...The Sox have never begun a postseason against the team they played in their regular-season finale... The last teams to play each other in a regular-season finale and then in a postseason opener were the 2013 Reds and Pirates. The Sox and Astros have never met in the postseason... While HOU competed in the NL from 1962-2012, there were 5 years in which both the Sox and Astros qualified for the postseason (1986, 1998, 1999, 2004, 2005). LONE STAR SOX: Five players on the Red Sox active roster were born in Texas: Brock Holt (Fort Worth), Carson Smith (Midland), Blake Swihart (Bedford), Brandon Workman (Arlington), and Chris Young (Houston). 300: 8 players on the Sox active roster have a.300+ career AVG vs. the Astros (min. 25 AB): Dustin Pedroia (.386), Hanley Ramirez (.369), Eduardo Nuñez (.360), Mookie Betts (.347), Christian Vázquez (.324), Brock Holt (.324), Chris Young (.319), and Jackie Bradley Jr. (.306). Among the 897 players with at least 100 at-bats against the HOU franchise (1962-2017), Dustin Pedroia ranks 1st all-time in AVG (.386). LEADING OFF: In his last 16 games, Xander Bogaerts has scored 18 runs and hit.333 with a.455 OBP (21-for-63, 2 HBP, 12 BB, 7 SO)...He has hit safely in each of his last 7 games, recording multiple hits in each of his last 3. FEATS OF MOOKIE: Mookie Betts has 101 RBI and 98 runs scored this season, after he finished 2016 with 113 RBI and 122 runs...ted Williams is the only Red Sox player ever with multiple 100-RBI/100-R seasons before turning 25. CLOSING TIME: Craig Kimbrel has allowed 0 runs in his last 11 games (11.0 IP, 3 H, 19 SO, 3 BB)...He has struck out 122 of 246 batters faced this season (49.6%), well ahead of the next-highest rate in the majors (Jansen, 42.3%) (min. 100 BF). Kimbrel leads ML relievers in ERA (tied, 1.34), SO/9.0 IP (16.39), WHIP (0.66), opponent AVG (.132), and opponent OPS (.416)...His 35 saves rank 3rd in the AL. HAVE WE BENINTRODUCED?: Andrew Benintendi (20 HR, 19 SB) needs 1 SB to become the 3rd Red Sox rookie to record a 20/20 season (Burks-1987, Garciaparra-1997). I-90: The Red Sox have won 90+ games in 13 of the past 20 seasons (1998-2017), earning 92+ wins in 12 of those... BOS won 71 games in 2014, 78 in 2015, and 93 in 2016; the Sox have not increased their win total in 3 straight years since 2001-04 (82, 93, 95, 98). WORKING OVERTIME: At 15-3, the Red Sox have tied their franchise record for most extra-inning wins in a season (also 1943) (source: Elias)...Elias notes that only 1 team in the last 50 years has finished a season with 15+ extrainning wins and no more than 3 losses (2012 Orioles, 16-2). The Sox have won each of their last 7 extra-inning games, their longest streak in a single season since 1972 (also 7)...They last won 8 straight extra-inning games in a season in 1938 (first 8 of the season). RUNNIN RED SOX: The Red Sox are 25-1 this season when stealing multiple bases...they are 63-for-77 (81.8%) in stolen base attempts since 6/26 (84 G) and have been successful in 25 of their last 29 tries (86.2%)...They rank 6th in MLB with 103 steals on the season. BOSTON BACKSTOPS: Christian Vázquez (84) and Sandy Leon (75) have combined to start all 159 Red Sox games this season...according to Elias, this is the 1st time the Sox have ever had 2 players each make 75+ starts at catcher in a season...the last time the Sox used only 2 starting catchers for an entire season was 2008 (Varitek-120, Cash-42).

His last start was also his shortest career outing with 9+ SO. Is 5-3 with a 4.37 ERA (29 ER/59.2 IP) in his last 10 starts...allowed 2 or fewer ER over 7.0+ IP in 5 of those outings. Allowed 3 or fewer ER in 10 of his 14 starts this year (5-6, 4.69 ERA, 41 ER/78.2 IP). Is 3-5 with a 4.63 ERA (24 ER/46.2 IP) over 8 home starts this season.

According to Elias, the only other pitchers since 1900 to throw a 1-hitter and surrender a leadoff HR are Jack McDowell on 7/14/91 at MIL (Paul Molitor HR) and Robin Roberts on 5/13/54 vs. CIN (Bobby Adams HR)...Became the 5th Red Sox since 1913 to toss a complete-game 1-hitter with the lone hit being a HR. Allowed 2 or fewer runs and 5 or fewer hits over 7.0+ IP in each of his 4 starts from 8/22-9/6 (1.50 ERA, 5 ER/30.0 IP,.136 opponent AVG)...That is tied for the 2nd-longest such streak in MLB this season (Kluber-5, Nola-4, degrom-4, Sale-4). Fister s 14 hits allowed over his 4 starts from 8/22-9/6 are his fewest in a 4-start stretch within 1 season since allowing 13 hits over 4 starts from 9/11-9/26/11 with DET (source: Elias).
