My Comment: Welcome Cubs to Fenway! After the initial reception the Red Sox gave the rare visitors, it may be another 93 years before the Cubs return. Boston has its highest number of hits and runs this season in the overwhelming defeat of Chicago. Almost every Red Sox player joined in the festivities in some fashion. And the best outcome of this seventh straight win is that the Red Sox are now in second place in the AL East for the first time this season, passing you-know-who in third place. First place is in sight!
