Boston Sets Defensive Record
| 11
|
By not committing an error over the course of their 5-2 loss to the Florida Marlins last night, the Boston Red Sox set a new MLB record by simply not committing an error.
The errorless game was Boston's 17th straight, breaking the previous record set by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1992. The entirely new infield has led to a defensive renaissance in a city known for pitching and home runs, lending Sox fans an appreciation for a side of the game they may have forgotten. Boston has committed the least number of errors in MLB this year at 23 - twelve less than the number two team.
