Philadelphia at Boston

Boston has packed it in for the season, and it lost again on Tuesday, 13-6, as Bryce Harper hit a three-run homer in a seven-run sixth inning for Philadelphia. The Red Sox have lost nine in a row and are firmly in last place in the AL East.  Meanwhile, the Phillies have won four straight and are back to .500, and they have scored 31 runs in that span. Jake Arrieta goes for the Phillies today while Kyle Hart will start for Boston. Hart was destroyed in his big league debut allowing seven runs (five earned) in two innings against the Rays on Thursday. The Phillies are 9-3 their last 12 interleague road games, and the Red Sox have lost 21 of their last 28 home contests. Play the Phillies.
