Beat the Streak Report: Wednesday, July 20
Red Sox filled the top two slots on your grocery lists yesterday, and the results were mixed. Jacoby Ellsbury baked a cake for 22.7 percent of all pickers, singling once in four at-bats against Jeremy Guthrie and the Orioles bullpen. Adrian Gonzalez burned his dinner, though, resetting 8.4 percent of you with an 0-for-4.
The leader sits at 29 games. One more successful day and they’ll get a name mention in this here space. Exciting!
