Paul Skenes vs Payton Tolle is the pitching matchup no one saw coming, and it might just be the biggest test of the Red Sox season. We break down what Tolle’s debut means, how the Sox can game plan for Skenes’ elite arsenal, and why this showdown could define the series. Then we look back at Boston’s massive four-game sweep of the Orioles and what it means for playoff positioning, confidence, and whether this team is truly peaking. Garrett Crochet continues to dominate, Trevor Story’s bat is heating up, and the bullpen keeps locking things down. We also preview the rest of the Red Sox vs Pirates series, highlight key arms like Lucas Giolito and Mitch Keller, and dive into the bench depth that's quietly carrying the Sox. All that and more on this episode of 310 To Left presented by your New England Ford Dealers with Lenny DiNardo and Rob Bradford featuring Michael McKenry.
