Red Sox’s Story Looking to Keep His Hot Streak Alive
While Story has had a tough season with Boston in 2026, especially due to injury, he has been heating up for Boston as of late. The veteran shortstop is currently on a seven-game hitting streak for Boston, where he has gone 12-for-29 over that span. He also has hits in 10 out of his last 11 games for the Red Sox, so he has been seeing the ball well.
As a result, Story dropping in the batting order is not due to him struggling. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact he can make against the Angels batting fifth from here.
