G60: Red Sox 9, Atlanta 1

Red Sox - 100 110 501 - 9 15  0
Atlanta - 100 000 000 - 1  7  0 
Jackie Bradley, in perhaps his last game as a Red Sock, singled, doubled, and homered, and scored two runs. 

Jonathan Araúz had three RBI and three hits, including his first home run of the year, which came in the season's final inning. Xander Bogaerts and J.D Martinez also hit home runs.

Nick Pivetta's (5-4-1-2-5, 92) day was blemished only by a first-inning solo dong. 

The Red Sox finished the shortened season 24-36 (.400), 16 GB and in fifth/last place. Over 162 games, a .400 winning percentage would equal a 65-97 record. It's the team's worst winning percentage since 1965 (62-100, .383).

The Red Sox have always won at least one extra-inning game in every season of their existence. (In 1936, they won only one (1-10).) Playing 60 games in 2020 means comparing counting stats with those of any other season in baseball history is pointless (it's a bit like comparing batters' postseason totals from the 2000s against the 1940s), but the Red Sox are 0-4 in extras this year.

These are the seedings for both leagues. Four National League teams are fighting for two playoff spots: Cardinals, Giants, Brewers, and Phillies. All games begin at 3 PM today.
