The Sox stole 5 bases on Tuesday and 4 on Wednesday...It had been 43 years since they stole 4+ bases in consecutive games (7/1-2/1974 at BAL). BOS is 23-1 this season when stealing multiple bases. The Sox are 49-for-59 (83.1%) in stolen base attempts since 6/26 (58 G)...They rank 5th in MLB with 89 SB. MANAGING EXPECTATIONS: John Farrell earned his 415th win as manager of the Red Sox last night, passing Jimy Williams for 6th-most in franchise history...jimmy Collins ranks 5th on the list with 455 wins.

According to Elias, Devers is 1 of 4 Red Sox to homer against the Yankees in New York before turning 21 (also Tony Conigliaro, Gene Stephens, and Babe Ruth)...Devers and Ruth are the only players ever to homer in 3 straight games vs. NYY before turning 21. Benintendi hit a pair of 3-run HR on 8/12 at NYY...Elias notes that he is the only rookie ever with 2+ HR and 6+ RBI in a Red Sox-Yankees game...he also became the 1st Red Sox player age 23 or younger to record 6+ RBI vs. NYY since RBI became an official stat in 1920. DAMAGE CONTROL: The Red Sox have had only 3 losing streaks of 3+ games this season...they are 1 of only 5 teams without a losing streak of 5 or more games.
