The good times just keep rolling at Fenway Park. The Boston Red Sox extended their winning streak to four games on Saturday night, dispatching the Houston Astros 7-3 in a game powered by a vintage performance from Trevor Story. With the win, the Sox are now 10 games over .500 at 61-51 and looking more and more like a team destined for October baseball.
Trevor Story was simply unstoppable, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, and 4 RBIs to lead the charge.
If you were looking for a hero on Saturday, you didn't have to look further than Trevor Story. The shortstop put the team on his back, delivering a masterclass at the plate. His four RBIs were the difference-maker, highlighted by a towering home run that sent the Fenway faithful into a frenzy. It was exactly the kind of clutch performance the Red Sox need from their veteran leaders as the calendar turns to the crucial month of August.
While Story grabbed the headlines, it was a true team victory. Rob Refsnyder delivered a crucial, game-tying RBI single in the third inning, a perfectly placed looper that shifted the momentum back to Boston. Abraham Toro also got in on the action with a solo shot of his own. On the mound, starter Walker Buehler gave the team a quality start, battling through six innings and allowing just three runs to pick up the win. It's this kind of depth and contribution from up and down the roster that fuels winning streaks.
With this win, the Red Sox are now 7-3 in their last ten games and are solidifying their position in a tight AL East and, more importantly, in the Wild Card race. The relative quiet since the trade deadline, with no new roster or farm system moves, signals a clear vote of confidence from the front office in this current squad. They believe this is the team that can make a deep run, and right now, the players are proving them right on the field.
Four straight wins have injected a serious dose of optimism into Red Sox Nation. The team is firing on all cylinders, blending star power with gritty contributions. Now, the challenge is to maintain this momentum through the rest of the Astros series and into the dog days of August. If this week is any indication, the Red Sox are more than ready for the fight ahead.
