For the second day in a row, the Red Sox win a game 14-2 by scoring 14 runs. The beat Cleveland 14-2 on Wednesday, then this afternoon take Detroit down 14-1 in a rain-shortened game. Carl Crawford hit two triples as he went four for five, and is eight for nine with two doubles, two triples and a home run in the two games. He appears to have found his swing.

Boston moves into a games back tie with the Yankees, but are still in second place, percentage points behind New York.

Update: When I read the line score on Thursday, I thought I saw 14-2. I apologize for the error and the title that doesn’t make sense.
