Jackie Bradley Jr. swears he isn’t thinking about his current hitting streak.
They are scoring 6.7 runs per game this year, which would place their offense second all-time in Red Sox history, only trailing the 1950 team who scored 8.1 runs a game and ended the season with over 1,000 runs. DiMaggio’s brother, Joe, hit in 56 straight games in 1941 for the major league record. Later, Bradley lined Bettis’ first pitch of his at-bat through the left side of the infield to extend his streak.

Colorado, making its first appearance at Fenway Park since 2013, had a few highlights on a chilly night.
“I’m having so much fun watching it”, the slugger added.

The under is 7-2 in Colorado’s last 9 on grass and the under is 7-2 in their last 9 overall while the Rockies are 19-57 in their last 76 interleague games. He and Bogaerts both had two hits, while Dustin Pedroia had three singles. Chad Bettis (4-3) was chased after 4 2/3 innings, giving up seven runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out two for the Rockies. Harper sat Wednesday before grounding out as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning in a 2-0 loss to the Mets. X-rays were negative, and Farrell said he expects Ramirez to play Tuesday night. RHP Jason Motte, yet to make his Rockies debut because of a right shoulder strain, will be activated Wednesday or Thursday…. A sacrifice fly by Mookie Betts capped the inning and gave the Red Sox a 4-1 edge. RHP Jordan Lyles, who hit Pittsburgh RHP Ryan Vogelsong in the face with a pitch Monday, was sent to Triple-A to make room for the return of LHP Jorge De La Cruz from the disabled list….

Red Sox: Farrell said that utility player Brock Holt (seven-day concussion DL) went through “a battery of tests” over the past two days and was scheduled to travel back to Boston on Wednesday. He also hit Hanley Ramirez with a pitch, sending the Red Sox first baseman to the bench with a bruised right big toe. Farrell said LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (right patella subluxation) came out of his rehab start at Triple-A Pawtucket “in pretty good shape”.
