1) The number seven has been as lucky as advertised for the Red Sox in recent days, as Boston has put together three separate seven-run innings since Monday (and two in the last two days). It’s the first time that has happened on back-to-back days since May 2019.

The Red Sox are on a brief road trip to play the Washington Nationals before finishing the unofficial first half of the season at home against the Colorado Rockies and Tampa Bay Rays. They are coming off their first series win in two weeks in what was nearly a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds.

C.J. Abrams and the Washington Nationals will square off against Wilyer Abreu and the Boston Red Sox at Nationals Park on Sunday, July 6 at 1:35 p.m. ET (and airing on MASN and NESN). Looking for MLB tickets? Head to StubHub today and see your team live.
