Red Sox Sweep Dodgers, Creep Back Into AL East Race Ahead of Deadline
Boston closes to within 5 games in the AL East for the first time in months, putting pressure on GM Craig Breslow to act before the 6 p.m. ET Trade Deadline.
The Red Sox completed a sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers, pulling to within as few as five games of the AL East lead — their closest position since April 21. The improved standing adds urgency to Boston's Trade Deadline decisions, with less than 20 hours remaining before the 6 p.m. ET deadline. GM Craig Breslow is now under heightened scrutiny to make moves that could bolster a team back in contention. Beat reporter Ian Browne flagged the confluence of the sweep result and imminent deadline as a pivotal moment for the franchise.
