Red Sox edge Blue Jays 2-1 at Fenway with just 3 hits

Connor Wong drove in the tiebreaking run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 on Tuesday night despite getting held to only three hits. Kiké Hernández and Trevor Story had back-to-back doubles in the third for Boston. Zack Collins homered for the Blue Jays off starter Nathan Eovaldi. Wong was called up from the minors Monday to replace catcher Kevin Plawecki, who was put on the COVID-19 injured list. Batting ninth and facing right-hander Yimi Garcia (0-1), Wong lofted a fly ball to right field that scored Bobby Dalbec, who opened the inning by reaching on an error by shortstop Bo Bichette. […]

Boston Red Sox, Trevor Story agree to six-year, $140M contract

Trevor Story and the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a six-year, $140 million contract, sources confirmed. The deal contains an opt-out after the fourth season, sources said. Story hit a crowded free-agent field — alongside fellow shortstops Carlos Correa, Marcus Semien, Javier Baez and Corey Seager — with a résumé featuring two All-Star Games, two Silver Slugger awards and MVP votes during the 2018, 2019 and 2020 seasons. The concern with any player who built his career with the Colorado Rockies is that career numbers are skewed by playing half of his games at Coors Field. Story’s batting average and on-base percentage are 60 points lower on the road, […]

Rays win 9th in row; Red Sox star Bogaerts tests positive

Randy Arozarena, rookie Wander Franco and the Tampa Bay Rays won their ninth consecutive game, breaking away from Boston 8-5 Tuesday night soon after Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts was pulled because of a positive COVID-19 test. Bogaerts hit an RBI single in the first inning, but the star was replaced defensively in the second. It was announced before the game that Boston reliever Hirokazu Sawamura tested positive as a virus surge that started last week continues having a daily impact on the playoff-contending Red Sox. Franco and Austin Meadows had RBI singles and Yandy Díaz hit a two-run double during a six-run third for the Rays, who are a […]

Judge, Sánchez drive Yanks to blowout win over Royals

Yankees hitters have clawed out of an early season slump with a string of clutch, late-game hits. The Bronx Bombers needed no such fireworks in this one — a start-to-finish shellacking that’s inspiring confidence ahead of a weekend series in Boston. “It’s good to see these guys starting to get a little bit of that swagger,” manager Aaron Boone said. Aaron Judge homered for the first of his three hits, Gary Sánchez connected for the second consecutive game and New York got its first blowout triumph in a month, defeating the Kansas City Royals 8-1 Thursday. Judge got the Yankees started with a solo […]

Celtics star Kemba Walker made his season debut Sunday afternoon in Boston against the New York Knicks.

Red Sox shut down Eduardo Rodriguez for ‘complications’

Boston Red sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez has been shut down by the team after experiencing complications in his recovery from COVID-19. The 27-year-old southpaw was slated to step in as Boston’s ace for the upcoming season.
