The Boston Red Sox are looking to complete a sweep of the Colorado Rockies and match a season-long winning streak at six games on Wednesday, July 9 at Fenway Park in Boston.
The game is scheduled to start at 7:10 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast on NESN.

The Red Sox are riding a five-game winning streak and are on the verge of just their fourth series sweep this season if they can get one more win against the team with the worst record in MLB. So far they have swept the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees and most recently, they swept the Washington Nationals over the weekend.
The Rockies are 21-71 and have lost 11 of their last 14 games. In two games against Boston, they’ve allowed 19 runs and scored 5, with Tuesday’s 10-2 loss being slightly worse than the 9-3 defeat to open the series.
The Red Sox did all of their damage in the sixth and seventh innings, scoring 6 runs before hitting their two home runs on the night to close out their scoring. Shortstop Trevor Story blasted a 3-run bomb and Jarren Duran hit a solo shot to give Boston a 10-0 lead.
Colorado scored its runs in the ninth after things were basically all decided. Now the squad looks to Antonio Senzatela to take down Red Sox ace Lucas Giolito in the series finale.

Bello strikes out 10 in complete-game effort as Red Sox beat Rockies 10-2 for 5th straight win
By DOUG ALDEN Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — 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 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win.
Bello (5-3), who had seven strikeouts after one trip through the Colorado lineup, gave up five hits and one walk. He threw a rain-shortened, six-inning complete game on Sept. 25, 2022, a 2-0 loss to the Yankees.
Ceddanne Rafaela hit a two-run double during a four-run rally in the sixth, followed by a six-run outbreak in the seventh when Story homered and Jarren Duran added a solo shot. Boston had 10 or more hits for the sixth straight game.
Hunter Goodman ended the shutout bid with a two-run homer in the ninth inning, but Bello struck out Ryan McMahon for the final out.
Goodman’s infield single on a hard grounder that handcuffed third baseman Nate Eaton in the fourth was Colorado’s only hit until Brenton Doyle blooped a single to left in the eighth.
The Rockies tied last year’s Chicago White Sox as the only teams to lose 71 games before the All-Star break.
Kyle Freeland (1-10) pitched five shutout innings before running into trouble in the sixth when Story singled to shallow right to dive in Romy Gonzalez with the game’s first run. Freeland allowed three runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings. He also struck out six and walked two.
Key moment
After Story’s single to right in the sixth, Rafaela lined a two-out double down the line in left to put Boston up 3-0 during a four-run rally.
Key stat
Colorado third baseman McMahon played in his 1,000th career game, making him the ninth player to reach the milestone with the Rockies.
Up next
Rockies RHP Antonio Senzatela (3-12, 6.57 ERA) faces Red Sox RHP Lucas Giolito (5-1, 3.66) on Wednesday night.
