A home start against the Rockies is as easy as it gets, but Fitts will definitely take the win after going 0-4 in spite of a 3.33 ERA in his first 11 career starts. The Red Sox had been 0-10 in those games until finally winning a Fitts start in the suspended game against the Reds last week, when rain brought things to a halt with Boston up 2-1 after three. Fitts allowed five hits, walked one and struck out six tonight. He should stay in the rotation for now and face the Rays on Sunday, but things are about to get complicated with Hunter Dobbins and Tanner Houck close to returning.

While Wilyer Abreu and Marcelo Mayer are mostly sitting against lefties, Anthony has been in the lineup all three games as the Red Sox have faced three in a row. He’s 7-for-18 with four RBI in his last four games, and he’s hit .363 in his last 10 games to improve to .250/.353/.398 through 102 plate appearances.

Gonzalez crushed a Ryan Rolison pitch 111.1 mph over the Green Monster and out of Fenway Park, and his other two balls in play were 106.9 mph and 103.6 mph. He has a ridiculous 59.6 percent hard-hit rate this season; the only hitter with 50 plate appearances doing better is Shohei Ohtani at 60.2 percent. Also, his strikeout rate is also down to 23.6 percent from 26.9 percent in his first season with the Red Sox and 36.0 percent during his White Sox career. He certainly wouldn’t maintain his current .923 OPS while playing regularly against righties, but he deserves a shot to show what he can do outside of a platoon role.

Bregman added that he’s skipping next week’s Midsummer Classic in an effort to be ready to play in games for the Red Sox. The 31-year-old added that he’s hoping to return later this week before the All-Star break, but plans to be ready right afterwards if that doesn’t happen. It’s a significant development for the suddenly red-hot Red Sox, who have won seven of their last nine games following Monday’s slugfest victory over the Rockies at Fenway Park.
