Red Sox drop in power rankings after struggling road week

The Boston Red Sox's recent road performance led to a decline in their power rankings. Following a series of losses, including a 1-3 series defeat to the Toronto Blue Jays and a 1-2 series loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team slipped from No. 6 to No. 10 in the rankings. After starting August strong with six consecutive wins, they have now gone 2-7 in their last nine games. With a current record of 66-58, the Red Sox must rebound to secure their position in the American League wild card race before facing tougher competition.
