New Week, New City, New Results - One week after losing five straight games to Rochester at Polar Park (last Tuesday - Saturday), the Worcester Red Sox have changed their fortunes during this new week in a new city the past three days coming up with three straight victories over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (AAA-Yankees) here at PNC Field in Moosic, PA. The WooSox will attempt to make it four wins in a row and secure an outright series victory when they play game four of their 6-game series tonight at 7:05 pm at PNC Field. Tonight's game three can be heard back in New England on NASH 98.9 FM

Heading in the Right Direction - Worcester's wins the past three days have returned them back over the .500 mark at 26-25 on the season. As mentioned, the Sox came to Scranton/WB on a season-high 5-game losing streak, but the WooSox have won the first three games here in Moosic by scores of 6-3, 8-1, and 1-0 to go up 3 games to none with three games remaining in the series.

Looking for Four of a Kind - The WooSox have won three in a row for the first time all month since they won 3 straight on April 30 (doubleheader) and May 1 all in Rochester. Tonight they shoot for 4 consecutive victories for the first time since their season-high 5-game winning streak from March 31 - April 5 (all in St. Paul when the Sox swept an abbreviated 5-game series vs. the Saints).

Pitch Perfect - While winning each of the first three games vs. the RailRiders this week, WooSox pitchers have put together their three best consecutive outings of the year. Sox pitchers are 3-0 with a 1.33 ERA (4 ER in 27 IP) with the following overall pitching line - 27 IP, 12 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 9 BB, 35 SO.

Lows and Highs - The WooSox (at 26-25) are back over the .500 mark for the first time since May 20 when they were 23-22. They dipped to a season-low 2-games under .500 from May 23-25 when they were 23-25 on the year during those three days. Their low point all of last season was 4-games below .500 on April 11, 2025 at 4-8. Worcester has been a season-high 6-games over .500 four different times this season...April 10 (9-3) & April 12 (10-4) and May 2 (18-12) & May 8 (21-15).
