The Boston Red Sox lost in a truly unique fashion Monday night, losing to the Philadelphia Phillies on a walk-off catcher's interference call in 10 innings.

The team rattled off an impressive win streak before hitting the All-Star break, then took a game from the juggernaut Chicago Cubs. Most recently, the Phillies needed extra innings and a catcher's interference fluke to defeat them, as starter Walker Buehler enjoyed an encouraging return to form.

Wilyer Abreu homered twice and drove in three runs, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 6-1 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep. Alex Bregman also connected as Boston rallied after managing just one run in its first two games after the All-Star break.

All four of those teams project to have a lack of starting pitching depth from here on out, and Bubic could turn any of them into World Series contenders. The Cubs and Red Sox both have surpluses of young outfielders, so they're particularly well-suited to trade with a Royals team that currently possesses the weakest outfield in the sport.

Chicago Cubs executive Jed Hoyer spoke out about a shocking move that shipped a franchise slugger out of town.

3) Alex Bregman broke the game open with a pinch-hit three-run home run in the eighth inning, making it 5-1 Boston. Bregman pinch hit for Masataka Yoshida against lefty Drew Pomeranz. He connected on an 83.4 mph knuckle-curve and sent it 402 feet to left field.
