My Comment: An encouraging beginning to the homestand for the Boston Red Sox - a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins. The Marlins were surprisingly consist in their scoring over the three games. Miami scored exactly five runs in each of the games and it was never enough to win. Boston, however, was erratic in their scoring - 7 then 15 and finally 6 over the three games. Whatever works!
