The Boston Red Sox are showing resilience in their play, particularly in one-run games, which have become a hallmark of their recent success. The team's ability to secure these close victories is noteworthy, especially following a pivotal home run from Ceddanne Rafaela, which some believe could mark a turning point for the season.

This team, reminiscent of the 2013 Red Sox, is proving that strong mental fortitude can lead to unexpected victories, despite lingering concerns about their defense and base running. As they head into the second half of the season, the Sox look to build on their current success, leveraging both their strong pitching and newfound confidence.
