The Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Astros, improving their position in the American League wild-card race. They are just three games behind the Blue Jays in the division. Home performance has been crucial, and players like Trevor Story highlight Fenway Park's impact on games. Manager Alex Cora notes a significant improvement from recent years, attributing success to a healthier, more complete team that plays with enthusiasm. This positive atmosphere has reignited their enjoyment of the game.
"Playing well at home, we can really use that to our advantage. We feel like it creates a lot of pressure for the other team, the crowd gets rocking," Trevor Story said.
"We're much better than the last two years. We're healthier; we've got a complete team. Guys are playing with an edge now. You can tell. Like I said, this place is fun again," Cora said.
