Red Sox vs. Pirates lineup: Every day is exactly the same (and good)

Last night, the Red Sox continued their streak of winning a game every day in February when they beat the Twins behind Sam Travis’s hot bat. They also lost yesterday, too, but who cares? They can finish off the month in style if they can put down the Pittsburgh Pirates this afternoon at 1:05 p.m.
