The Red Sox left teams across the league green with envy with their historic 15-game win streak, which ended Wednesday night.
How did Boston turn its season around and transform into legitimate playoff contenders? That’s the main story in the latest edition of “This Week in Baseball,” which is out now on MLB's X account, at MLB.com and on MLB.TV.
The show, hosted by Kait Maniscalco, continues the revival of the classic series that debuted in 1977 as a 30-minute show and ran for most of the next three-plus decades, giving baseball fans a dose of highlights and fun stories.
The new short-form version continues in that spirit, showcasing the biggest plays and storylines from the week, along with bloopers, the iconic TWIB Notes and more.
This latest episode also highlights some of the best players in the Athletes Unlimited Softball League in advance of this weekend's AUSL championship series. Plus, take a trip around Atlanta’s Truist Park, and find out why Yandy Díaz losing his lumber during the All-Star Game provided flashbacks to an iconic MLB moment involving pine tar from more than 40 years ago.
Developed by MLB Studios and produced in partnership with MLB Network, new episodes of "This Week in Baseball" drop Fridays at noon ET on MLB's X account and are available the next day at MLB.com and on MLB.TV.
