"In the woebegone American League, the Red Sox are just 1.5 games back from a wild card spot, and seem to have already turned a corner," Miller said. "Caleb Durbin and Marcelo Mayer are no longer black holes in the lineup, batting .283 over the last 10 games compared to .181 during the team's 9-17 start. Jarren Duran is still battling some horrific BABIP luck, but has three homers in his past five games to make up for it. Meanwhile, the unspeakable power of Payton Tolle's mustache seems to have ignited the portion of this pitching staff that isn't on the IL."
