The Boston Red Sox were big winners with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. They took Kyson Witherspoon out of Oklahoma. MLB Network's Dan O'Dowd said he has the most upside of any pitcher in the draft.

In short, we’ve seen at least the first half of this movie before. It’s now on Cora and the Red Sox to write a much different ending after rocketing into the All-Star break with a 10-game winning streak.

Turns out, the offensive fireworks the Red Sox displayed Friday in D.C. weren’t limited to the Fourth of July. A day after their series-opening 11-2 win over the Nationals, the Red Sox bats stayed hot in a 10-3 triumph Saturday to secure the series win.

BOTTOM LINE: The Boston Red Sox will try to sweep a three-game series with a win over the Washington Nationals. Washington has a 37-52 record overall and an 18-27 record in home games. The Nationals have gone 20-12 in games when they did not allow a home run.

An eight-game hitting streak for Story again speaks to the theme that the Red Sox go as Trevor Story goes. An average of .469 is insane over that stretch, including 4 doubles, 3 HRs, 12 RBI and a 1.375 OPS. His only hit today was a two-run shot but that’s crazy numbers.

Jordan Hicks allowed a run in the ninth but earned the save as the Red Sox took care of business in the first of two series against terrible teams. Up next is a three-game home set against the Rockies.
