2) Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito allowed seven runs while recording just five outs in a disastrous start against the Angels on June 4. Since then, he has allowed just three earned runs in 38 ⅔ innings (0.70 ERA) over six starts.

BOTTOM LINE: The Boston Red Sox will try to keep their three-game home win streak intact when they face the Tampa Bay Rays. Boston is 49-45 overall and 28-20 in home games. The Red Sox have the sixth-best team on-base percentage in the majors at .327.

The Red Sox have won six straight to get back into the Wild Card mix, but will their winning ways continue against tougher competition before and after the All-Star break.

Brayan Bello struck out a season-high 10 in the first nine-inning complete game of his career, Trevor Story hit a three-run homer and the Boston Red Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 10-2 for their fifth straight win.

2) Roman Anthony hit his first Fenway Park home run. It went 418 feet into the center field bleachers. His two-run blast — which left his bat at 106.4 mph — gave the Red Sox a 5-1 lead in the fifth inning. He connected on a 90.7 mph fastball from Rockies left-handed starter Austin Gomber. It came right after Romy Gonzalez tripled with two outs.
