 So the Red Sox and the A's going at it. The Red Sox are now within two games of 500 at home. That's been a goal to get over that hump before the All-Star break. They are 21 and 23. One more game with Oakland tomorrow and then Kansas City, a much improved club. In fact, the club the Red Sox are battling for a wild card position coming in over the weekend before the All-Star break.
