1) The number seven has been as lucky as advertised for the Red Sox in recent days, as Boston has put together three separate seven-run innings since Monday (and two in the last two days). It’s the first time that has happened on back-to-back days since May 2019.

The Red Sox scored seven runs in an inning for the second straight game, blowing out the Nationals to clinch the weekend series.

Boston racked up seven runs in the inning on its way to a 10-3 victory, its second lopsided win in as many days.
