As a result, Boston kept Adley Rutschman and Willson Contreras off their feet Wednesday night as the Marlins, still in the NL Wild Card race, salvaged the finale with a 4-0 final. While the four errors on the night are mildly concerning after a few straight games of them, that should get cleaned up. The focus shifts to big weekend plans in New York.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Here\u2019s three takeaways from Wednesday night\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">CEDDANNE ALMOST MADE THIS HAPPEN<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">While the defensive chaos of this play should not be celebrated, how on earth did Rafaela almost make this a remarkable play at the plate?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">SONNY STILL SOLID <br \/>Sonny Gray took the mound in search of his 17th win of the season. He pitched well, he just didn\u2019t have the (or any) necessary run support required to get there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Gray surrendered just two earned runs on seven hits while striking out five Marlins in five innings. That\u2019s more than good enough to win, but ultimately (and no harm in doing so) the Red Sox punted to get revved up for the weekend in The Bronx.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Red Sox will trot out Patrick Sandoval, Jake Bennett and Ranger Suarez against the Yankees, who pushed Cam Schiltler back to throw against Boston. The Red Sox are still TBD for the nightcap of Saturday\u2019s doubleheader.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Starting Wednesday, the Red Sox trailed the Yankees by just 1 1\/2 games for the top Wild Card spot. This weekend\u2019s four-game set should go a long way in determining who could eventually host a potential first-round rematch entering October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Red Sox took care of business by securing the series win in Miami Tuesday night.
