Red Sox Win Again, Streak Now at 15
The Boston Red Sox beat the Washington Nationals, 12-7, at Nationals Park. The win was due in part to second baseman Ketel Marte, who was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The victory gives the Red Sox a record of 84-27.

In the top of the sixth inning, first baseman Christian Walker came through big-time for the Red Sox. With Boston trailing 6-4, he belted a 2-run home run.

"This team is real focused right now," said Boston manager Jim Furtado.
