For those holding onto hope that the Red Sox could still make a postseason push, this weekend's series against the Twins was seen as a crucial turning point.
However, even the most optimistic fans may now see the reality after another lackluster performance by the Red Sox offense resulted in a 2-0 defeat to the Rays on Thursday night. Nick Sogard’s third-inning single was the only baserunner for Boston in the entire game.
The loss puts the Red Sox four games behind both the Twins and Tigers, who are tied for the final AL wild-card spot, with just nine games remaining. Minnesota hasn't been much better, coming into Fenway for a three-game series after dropping six of its last 10 games and 20 of its last 30, allowing Detroit to pull even in the standings.
