The Red Sox’ schedule is only getting harder, but it’s clear that it doesn’t matter who their opponent is right now. They just continue to roll.
The Sox surged back into the playoff hunt with the help of a schedule littered with struggling and below .500 teams over the last six weeks. But they walked into Progressive Field in Cleveland on Friday facing a stretch of 36 games that includes 33 against playoff contenders, starting with three against the resurgent Guardians.
They walked out with a sweep.
