Turns out, the offensive fireworks the Red Sox displayed Friday in D.C. weren’t limited to the Fourth of July. A day after their series-opening 11-2 win over the Nationals, the Red Sox bats stayed hot in a 10-3 triumph Saturday to secure the series win.

BOTTOM LINE: The Boston Red Sox will try to sweep a three-game series with a win over the Washington Nationals. Washington has a 37-52 record overall and an 18-27 record in home games. The Nationals have gone 20-12 in games when they did not allow a home run.

An eight-game hitting streak for Story again speaks to the theme that the Red Sox go as Trevor Story goes. An average of .469 is insane over that stretch, including 4 doubles, 3 HRs, 12 RBI and a 1.375 OPS. His only hit today was a two-run shot but that’s crazy numbers.

Jordan Hicks allowed a run in the ninth but earned the save as the Red Sox took care of business in the first of two series against terrible teams. Up next is a three-game home set against the Rockies.

Rain began falling hard during the top of the second inning of the series finale between Boston and Washington, prompting a sudden delay. The tarp wasp laced on the infield as fans ran for cover. It’s unclear when the sides will resume play.

Trevor Story homered and the Boston Red Sox beat Washington 6-4 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep, with the Nationals firing manager Dave Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo hours after the game.

Shinnosuke Ogasawara’s MLB debut wasn’t enough to avoid major change at Nationals Park.

The Washington Nationals made two big changes hours after they were swept by the Boston Red Sox. General manager Mike Rizzo and manager Dave Martinez were fired on Sunday, the Nationals announced.
