It’s Wednesday, July 23 and the Red Sox (54-49) are in Philadelphia to take on the Phillies (58-43). Lucas Giolito is slated to take the mound for Boston against Jesús Luzardo for Philadelphia. The Phillies held the Red Sox to one run and held onto a 4-1 victory to follow up the 3-2 win in extra innings on Monday.

The Boston Red Sox are likely planning for the trade deadline and postseason. However, Alex Cora already has one eye on free agency.

He became the first Red Sox player — ever — to strike out four times in consecutive games, doing so Monday and Tuesday.

Romy Gonzalez was riding an 0-for-20 slump before stepping to the plate in the fifth inning. Then he provided a swing one of his teammates described as a "hero moment" in a signature win.

The Boston Red Sox skipper made his stance on the San Francisco Giants and their franchise slugger very clear.

After a stellar start to the 2025 season on the heels of a World Series defeat, the New York Yankees (56-46) have fallen out of first place in the AL East as they have struggled of late while the Toronto Blue Jays have surged.
