BOSTON — Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy held a brief team meeting before the All-Star break. The message: Take the break to relax, but don’t get too far away from baseball. There’s more work to be done in a few days.To that end, Tracy set up an optional team workout at Fenway Park on Thursday to ensure the group was ready for a four-game series against the American League’s best team, beginning with a doubleheader against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.Nearly 90 percent of the team showed up to the Thursday workout. A day later, their effort showed right away as they swept the Rays in a doubleheader with a resounding 10-0 win in the first game and a 5-3 victory in the second game.“To come out of the break, firing on all cylinders is fun to be a part of,” Caleb Durbin said.Ken’s Week in Baseball: Four teams to watch as trade deadline nearsKen RosenthalBoston’s win streak now sits at a major-league-leading 11 games and marks Boston’s longest streak since 2016. (The Red Sox franchise record is 15 straight wins in 1946.) Meanwhile, they’ve finally clawed back to a .500 record (48-48) for the first time since the second game of the season on March 28.Most importantly, they’re now tied for the third AL wild-card spot.“It means a lot,” Tracy said. “I’ve talked a lot about the journey it’s been and how rough things were. But the guys have come together, and they’re playing great baseball. And I’ll reiterate it: It’s not time to look at the standings — it’s nice, but there’s a long way to go. Right now, our mindset should be (that) we face (the Rays) tomorrow. Let’s figure out how we can win a game tomorrow. But, I definitely want to applaud the work that they’ve done in the last two and a half weeks to get in this position.”During their dominance over the past few weeks, beginning with a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees at the end of June, the Red Sox have been led by a scrappy group of players on the field, timely home runs from their core hitters, heads-up small ball, a lockdown bullpen and a rotation that’s been among the best in the majors.In the first game on Friday, Jake Bennett allowed one hit over six scoreless innings, needing just 65 pitches. He surely would have continued if his team hadn’t put up six runs in the bottom of the sixth, bloating the score to 9-0. It built in extra rest for the rookie who never pitched above Double A entering this season. Eduardo Rivera, starting the second game, didn’t fare as well, tagged for three runs in 2 1/3 innings, but a fresh bullpen pieced together an impressive 6 2/3 scoreless innings.In past years, the Red Sox have limped out of the All-Star break despite surging before it. This year seems different.Though it’s been just two post-break games, Tracy wasn’t worried about his team losing momentum entering the second half. Despite winning nine straight heading into the break, the team had endured an exhausting three months.“(There was) the narrative (that) it’s a bad time for the break,” Tracy said. “I don’t know. Regardless of what happens in the next handful of days, I don’t necessarily agree with that. I think that the last game in New York, we had to fight hard. … To me, guys were gassed, you could see it.”A manager change in late April. A brutal stretch through May and most of June. An emotional, fight-fueled series with the Washington Nationals to end the last home stand. To top it off, the Red Sox finished the first half with a nine-game road trip with a trip to the West Coast sandwiched in between, only to face a massive travel disruption entering the final series in New York. Through it all, they kept winning, but Tracy was confident the break would help, not hurt.“(Thursday) we had the workout, and pretty much every guy was here, so that tells you a lot where we are as a team, the mentality,” said catcher Carlos Narváez, who homered in Friday’s first game. “Everybody was ready. That was the whole message. And I think everybody understood and received that message very well.”The 10-0 win to start the day proved that. Even after falling behind 2-0 in the second game, there was no panic. Ceddanne Rafaela doubled in the bottom of the first and Wilyer Abreu cranked a tying two-run homer. In his first at-bat back from a five-game suspension, Willson Contreras picked up where he left off, slamming a go-ahead homer in the next at-bat, roaring toward his dugout as he ran to first and pumping his fists at the crowd as he crossed home plate. After the Rays tied it again, Abreu hit his second homer to give the Red Sox the lead for good.
