Sunday\u2019s 6-1 win over the Rays extended their winning streak to 13, and the four-game sweep moved them within six games of first place in the AL East. Boston also holds the third wild-card spot after improving to two games above .500 for the first time this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another division foe is up next as the Orioles are in town for a three-game series. Payton Tolle will be on the mound for Monday\u2019s opener, while the Orioles will counter with Shane Baz.<\/span><\/p>\n
