PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayWhen the Boston Red Sox welcomed the New York Yankees to Fenway Park for a four-game series in June, they’d already fired manager Alex Cora, were just 32-46 and occupied last place in the American League East.
But after sweeping the Yankees, Boston went on an insane run that included a 21-4 record in July to get back into contention. Tonight they’ll face off with those Yankees at Yankee Stadium in the best-of-three Wild Card round for the second consecutive season.
The Sox will start proceedings with lefty pitcher Payton Tolle on the mound. Tolle – who will be the third-youngest pitcher to start in the first playoff game for Boston – led the team with 171 strikeouts and has shown the ability to completely take over a game with three 10-K games in his first full season as a Big Leaguer. He topped out with 14 on August 7 against the Athletics and has pitched well against the Yankees this season, allowing just a single run and just four hits in 13 innings across two starts.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the pitchers to finish with the most strikeouts for each MLB team in 2026 can you name in five minutes?
Good luck!
