In the last 25 years (1994-2018), only 6 teams have started 10-1 or better, most recently the 2013 Braves... The last AL club to start 10-1 was KC in 2003, and the last AL East team to do so was MIL in 1987 (11-0). HOME, SWEET HOME: The Red Sox are 4-0 at home, their best start to a season at Fenway Park since 2001 (also 4-0)... BOS last won its first 5 home games in 1998 (started 7-0).

MAKE NO MISTAKE: The Red Sox committed 0 errors in their first 10 games, the franchise’s longest streak to begin any season...No other team since at least 1913 has begun a season with 10+ straight errorless games. The Sox’ last errorless streak of 10+ games at any point in a season came in 2016, when they set a club record with 18 straight games with 0 errors (9/13-10/1). CLOSE CALLS: The Red Sox are 5-0 in 1-run games; they last started a season 5-0 in such games in 2008, and last started 6-0 or better in 1946 (7-0)...In 2017, the Sox were 22-19 (.537) in 1-run games.
