Series almost always end on Sunday, just because that’s how the schedule works. Being the Sunday recap guy, I often have the series-deciding game. After winning the first two games against the Angels, tonight’s game will be the 5th straight weekend series in which the Red Sox are trying to complete the sweep (if you include a 2-game set against the Yankees with one postponed game). That streak dates back to the beginning of June. Over that span, the Red Sox were 3-12 in weekday series, and 11-3 in weekend series (including the first two against the Angels). Weird.
Anywho, they’re going for the sweep of the Angels on Sunday in a game that starts at 9:30 PM for some reason. It’ll be All-Star Ranger Suarez against Ryan Johnson, who I’ve never heard of before tonight. There’s some intriguing stuff in his arsenal, but his lack of a good fastball makes me think he’s going to have a hard time not walking lefties. We’ll see.
First pitch at 9:30 PM on Peacock, NESN, and WEEI.
