The Boston Red Sox are now 2.5 games back from first place in the AL East and currently sit in third place behind the Blue Jays and Orioles.
This statement is drastically different from how the Red Sox fans thought it would look after the seemingly easy home stand, which they went 4-5 during. The Red Sox hosted the San Francisco Giants to start off the home stand. These games seemed they would be the most challenging for the Red Sox team. The 9 games at home started off amazingly sweeping the Giants in two games and winning the first game of the Twins series. At this time the Red Sox had launched themselves into first place. Then things started to go down hill. The Sox lost the next three games to the Twins, one of the worst teams in baseball, then geared up for a series with the Tigers, a decent club. OHHH WAIT THERE'S MORE! The Sox the lost the remaining 3 games to the Tigers all in close games.
On the huge home stand where the Red Sox fans were hopeful and optimistic, after the Drew Pomeranz deal. The Red Sox yet again dissapointed and have now fallen deep into the AL East Standings.
