THE CURSE OF THE BAMBINO, PART 9
"IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER"...

June 12, 1986 ... The rained-out game against the Brewers will be made up in September. Boston's pitching staff leads the AL with a 3.21 ERA and has allowed the fewest hits (453). Boston has held opponents to two runs or fewer 25 times, and the Sox own a 24-1 record in those games.
