The Red Sox and Twins each went 16-2 in interleague play to match the 2002 A's for the best single-season interleague record. The Red Sox have been on a tremendous role, taking 1 from Philadelphia and 3 from the Mets this week to complete a 9-0 homestand. And following a slight bump when they lost the first game in Florida, they came back with two more wins.
- The Yankees went 4-2 and lost 1 1/2 to the AL East leader on the week.
- The Blue Jays remain 5 back, 6 in the loss column. They've gone 7-3 in their last 10 games and lost ground.
- The Red Sox are 2 games away from the halfway point of their season.
- 4 in Tampa Bay, 3 in Chicago leading into the All Star break. Boston's already played 42 road games vs. only 37 at home. Since they finish the "first half" with 7 more on the road, they'll come out of the break with 44 of their last 76 at home, where they're current sporting a 27-10 record. And they'll go into the All Star break with Schilling and Beckett pitching 4 of their 7 games on the week. They've got an excellent opportunity to increase their lead over the Yankees this week.
