PHILADELPHIA — Instant reactions as the Red Sox (55-49) fight and claw to a landmark, sweep-avoiding 9-8 victory in a back-and-forth, dramatic game in which Carlos Narváez won it with a two-run homer in the top of the 11th inning:

The Boston Red Sox enter play on Wednesday at 54-49 and in possession of the third and final wild card spot in the American League, but fans are still intereste

According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Craig Breslow and the Red Sox may not be in the mood for a blockbuster trade before July 31.

Boston remains a half-game up on the Tampa Bay Rays for the final Wild Card spot in the American League. But as the loses -- and strikeouts -- rack up out of the break, the luster from the team's 10-game win streak has almost completely faded.

Red Sox fans are being asked to buy food and drinks outside of Fenway before turning out for games, as ballpark concession workers are ready to take to the picket line.

The Boston Red Sox are likely planning for the trade deadline and postseason. However, Alex Cora already has one eye on free agency.

It’s Wednesday, July 23 and the Red Sox (54-49) are in Philadelphia to take on the Phillies (58-43). Lucas Giolito is slated to take the mound for Boston against Jesús Luzardo for Philadelphia. The Phillies held the Red Sox to one run and held onto a 4-1 victory to follow up the 3-2 win in extra innings on Monday.
