The Red Sox were riding a 10-game winning streak at the All-Star break, but have lost four of five games since.

Red Sox players weigh in on bizarre ending: The Red Sox found a particularly rare way to lose a game on Monday, falling 3-2 to the Phillies on a catcher’s interference call. It’s just the second time since 1920 that such a scenario has occurred at the Major League level.

Red Sox bats were silenced by Cristopher Sánchez, who tossed a complete game allowing four hits while striking out 12.

The Philadelphia Phillies need to add an outfielder ahead of the trade deadline, and a trade with the Boston Red Sox could give them what they need.

Boston is 1-3 since the All-Star break, while Philadelphia is 2-2 — both losing the first series of the second-half. The Red Sox have scored three total runs in their three losses and six in their lone win during this stretch.

While it had been more than a half-century since a game-ending catcher’s interference call, Monday’s game highlighted the growing frequency of bat-mitt interactions.

The Boston Red Sox faced the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday, which put the upcoming offseason somewhat in the spotlight.

The Boston Red Sox won’t have Tanner Houck back in the mix any time soon. Before Monday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Red Sox manager Alex Cora revealed that Houck has been shut down from throwing due to a reoccurence of flexor soreness.
