"Thanks to Jarren Duran doing his best Sonic the Hedgehog impression on Sunday (gotta go fast!) the Red Sox did not get swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates. And they snapped their five-game Fenway Park losing streak. Now they welcome in the Cleveland Guardians. When they last played back in April the Sox took two of the three games in Cleveland. The Guardians were in 2nd place in the AL Central, just 1.5 games behind the Detroit Tigers. Now they sit"
"Parker Messick is a rookie southpaw with just two major league starts. And they've both been good. Against the Arizona Diamondbacks he allowed one run in 6.2 innings with 7 hits, 6 Ks, and a single walk. Then against the Tampa Bay Rays he went 7.0 strong allowing no runs while giving up just 4 hits and striking out 6. No walks.

"While everyone is looking forward to Payton Tolle's next start, the Red Sox may choose to keep him on a longer start cycle with extra rest as part of the innings-building process for his career.

The Red Sox now host the Cleveland Guardians, who fell from 1.5 games back in April to 10.5 games out of the division and 4.0 games out of the third AL Wild Card. Rookie left-hander Parker Messick has two strong major league starts, allowing one run in 6.2 innings versus Arizona and no runs in seven innings versus Tampa Bay. Righty Slade has surrendered seven homers over his last five starts. Payton Tolle may receive extra rest as the club manages his innings near a 2025 limit.
