The Boston Red Sox lost their 4th straight game Friday night, losing to the Atlanta Braves 4-2 at Fenway Park.

The Red Sox unveiled their new City Connect "Fenway Greens" and will use them all weekend and select home games this season. The new jersey’s feature “Red Sox” in the Green Monster’s signature font across the chest in white, with an encircled “B” logo on the sleeve. Player numbers appear in yellow on the front - a nod to the Fisk and Pesky poles - and in white on the back. Inside the collar, “1912” is stitched onto a concrete, heather pattern, symbolizing the interior structure of the left field wall and the year Fenway Park opened. A replica of the Green Monster’s vintage ball, strike, and out indicator appears as a small graphic detail on the lower left of the jersey
