Lou Merloni and NBC Sports Boston Red Sox insider Evan Drellich break down the week in Red Sox news and results:

0:18 - In his return from the 10-day disabled list, Chris Sale tossed five innings of shutout ball with 12 strikeouts in the Red Sox 4-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Evan and Lou discuss Sale's performance and the insane numbers he's put up this season.

4:53 - Craig Kimbrel has been good this year, there's no denying it. But the Red Sox closer has shown some regression lately that has Evan and Lou worrying about how secure Boston's bullpen really is.

9:20 - Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez continue to drive the offense for the best team in baseball. So which one has a better shot at the A.L. MVP? Lou and Evan argue their picks.
