Major League Baseball’s trade deadline isn’t until Monday at 4 p.m. ET, but the Red Sox already are garnering praise for their pre-deadline moves. According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, evaluators believe Boston “did very well” with their two mid-season trades.
Red Sox fans held their breath Sunday during the eighth inning of Boston’s 9-5 win over the defending World Series champion Washington Nationals. During an at bat, designated hitter J.D. Martinez took a 95 mile per hour fastball from Nationals pitcher Daniel Hudson off his left hand. The slugger was taken out of the game, despite his request to play through it, and was replaced by pinch-runner Tzu-Wei Lin so Martinez could be assessed by the Red Sox training staff.
Bobby Dalbec hit a two-run homer in his major league debut, Rafael Devers hit a pair of home runs, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Washington Nationals 9-5 on Sunday. The 25-year-old Dalbec started hours after Boston traded first baseman Mitch Moreland to San Diego. Dalbec (2 for 4) struck out in his first at-bat before taking Javy Guerra deep over Pesky's Pole in right field in the third inning.
After trading Brandon Workman and Heath Hembree to the Phillies last week, the Red Sox could look to trade some more bullpen pieces. According to Boston’s Sports Journal’s Sean McAdam, relievers Josh Taylor, Josh Osich and Austin Brice are drawing interest from contenders in advance of Monday’s trade deadline. Boston is known to be listening to offers on reliever Matt Barnes, who is drawing interest from the Astros, Cubs and Nationals, according to reports.
The Nationals signed former longtime Red Sox utility player Brock Holt for the final month of the season.
Saturday marked a special anniversary for Mitch Moreland, and the Boston Red Sox organization wanted to show him some love. Moreland, who is in the midst of his fourth season with the Red Sox, officially reached 10 years of MLB service Saturday. Boston celebrated the anniversary with a pregame presentation to the first baseman, prior to the Red Sox facing the Washington Nationals at Fenway Park.
48-year-old Manny Ramirez has signed with the Sydney Blue Sox of the Australian Baseball League.
Chris Mazza takes the hill for the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night. The 30-year-old makes his second start of the season as the Red Sox take on the Washington Nationals at Fenway Park. Mazza tossed three innings in his last outing on Aug. 16 against the New York Yankees where he allowed four earned runs and struck out four batters.
While they didn’t rule out the possibility completely, multiple evaluators consider it unlikely that the Sox move players who are under team control beyond 2021. So when the dust settles on Monday, who’s likely to be around? Untouchable-ish Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom didn’t want to back himself into a corner — after all, he’s already dealt away Mookie Betts — but realistically, the Sox aren’t dealing players who they see as part of their long-term core.
Boston Red Sox legend Manny Ramirez, 48, signed a one-year deal with the Sydney Blue Sox of the Australian Baseball League on Friday.
Andrew McCutchen has relished these past few days in the Phillies clubhouse, having difficult, important conversations with baseball teammates about racial injustice.
It looks as if Nathan Eovaldi’s start will get pushed again. The Boston Red Sox pitcher was supposed to start Wednesday, but a leg cramp pushed his outing to Sunday against the Washington Nationals. Now that may not happen after all.
Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts narrated a Jackie Robinson tribute video that is being showed in stadiums across baseball Friday to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day. The Red Sox played the video on their Jumbotron before their game against the Washington Nationals. Betts, who the Red Sox traded to the Dodgers with David Price in February, has been vocal this week as teams across all sports have canceled games to protest social injustice and police brutality following the shooting of Jacob Blake.
The Boston Red Sox are expected to be one of the most active teams in MLB at this year's trade deadline. Here are the top candidates to be dealt before Monday.
Also in those documents, Ross, who was arrested just minutes after, reportedly said: “If I had a gun, I wouldn’t have stopped. The gun used was reported stolen on July 12, and the person who reported that theft is related to Ross’s mother. Vazquez and Ross are both still in the Lancaster County Jail.
The Astros have inquired about trading for Red Sox reliever Matt Barnes, according to a report from Eno Sarris and Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic. Barnes, who is in his seventh season with Boston, has struggled so far this year, posting a 6.00 ERA in 12 innings over 12 appearances. The 30-year-old righty is under team control through 2021, so any club looking to acquire him would have him for the stretch run this season and the entirety of next year.
Xander Bogaerts is ready to see change in the world. The Boston Red Sox’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays was postponed Thursday, along with a slew of other games, to help bring awareness to social injustice. The postponements come in the wake of Jacob Blake being shot in the back by a Wisconsin police officer.
April 15 is recognized as Jackie Robinson Day throughout Major League Baseball. But this year it was celebrated on Aug. 28 due to COVID-19. Robinson broke the color barrier in MLB and made his debut April 15, 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
I would say so,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said about whether trade talks decreased. Especially given where we are in the baseball calendar and how close we are to the trade deadline. And that was the point, quite frankly.
Rafael Devers hit a three-run triple to highlight Boston's six-run outburst in the sixth inning as the Red Sox rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-7 on Tuesday night. Devers, who snapped an 0-for-10 streak with a single in the second inning, hit a full-count slider from A.J. Cole, giving Boston an 8-6 edge. Devers later scored on a sacrifice fly by J.D. Martinez as Boston recorded its sixth comeback win of the season.
With Jackie Bradley Jr. becoming the central figure of the Red Sox over the last couple of days, our John Tomase wonders if Chaim Bloom can really turn around and trade the veteran center fielder at this weekend's deadline.
Mitch Moreland is ready to do more than just not play in games. The Red Sox first baseman, along with the rest of the Boston team, did not partake in Thursday’s scheduled matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays to help bring awareness to social injustice. Sox manager Ron Roenicke delivered a powerful message when talking about the state of the country and ongoing issues, as well as the impact stories from Jackie Bradley Jr. and Tom Goodwin shared.
Red Sox players met Thursday afternoon and decided together not to play their game against the Blue Jays to protest racial injustice and police brutality following the shooting of Jacob Blake. Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was shot in the back seven times by police in Kenosha, Wis. on Aug 23.
Celtics, Red Sox postpone their games amid national unrest
Rowdy Tellez drove in four runs, and the Blue Jays bullpen provided Toronto's injury depleted group of starters a much needed rest. ''We, as a Blue Jays organization, are very multicultural and we support everything that's going on. The Red Sox weren't aware of NBA and MLB teams protesting until shortly before they hit the field for stretches.
Might the Red Sox look to move talented but slumping outfielder Andrew Benintendi before next week's trade deadline?
The Red Sox plan to resume play Friday when Major League Baseball celebrates Jackie Robinson Day. Boston will host the Washington Nationals at 7:30 p.m. Each player will wear Robinson’s retired No.
He's perfectly adequate at handling the responsibility and would never complain, but most of us in Boston are wondering: where are his teammates? Why can't one of the White players come out and make a statement, or make himself available to the press to tell Red Sox Nation that the team is upset about the current events and supports Bradley and the other Black players in MLB?
The sports world came to a slow stop over the last two nights, beginning with the Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to boycott their NBA Playoff game Wednesday in the aftermath of the Jacob Blake shooting. The Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays, after having played Wednesday, decided not to play their game in Buffalo on Thursday. Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke offered a heartfelt response on why Boston decided that was the route they wanted to take, and the state of the country in general.
Major League Baseball players extended their strike for social justice to a second day, as seven more games were postponed in the wake of a movement that has touched every major sports league in the country. Games between the Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals, Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox, Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers, Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles, New York Mets and Miami Marlins, and Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondback...
Blue Jays and Red Sox players agreed Thursday not to play their game in Buffalo, N.Y. They joined a widespread effort by MLB players to raise awareness of racial injustice in North America in light of Jacob Blake, a Black man, being shot by a police officer in Kenosha, Wis. on Aug. 23. Seven games in all were postponed Thursday, adding to the three that were called off Wednesday.
After it was announced that the Red Sox’s Thursday night game against the Toronto Blue Jays would not be played, a different approach was brought to what would have been the pre-game coverage. Tom Caron sat down with MLB Hall of Famer and former Red Sox Left Fielder Jim Rice to have an open discussion on the state of the world. The two discussed the meaning of professional athletes boycotting games across the nation and the potential impact of the action.
The Blue Jays and Red Sox played the second game of their three-game series on Wednesday night in Buffalo, N.Y., after NBA players started a string of postponements across all sports just over an hour before first pitch when the Milwaukee Bucks refused to take the court for a playoff game. Montoyo, who said he'd experienced racism in the past as a Latino man in baseball, said he respects players' decisions to take a stand against inequality.
Boston Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke emotionally discussed Jackie Bradley Jr.'s comments during a team meeting in the wake of the shooting of Jacob Blake.
Rowdy Tellez drove in four runs with two homers and a double, and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Boston Red Sox 9-1 on Wednesday night. Vladimir Guererro Jr. hit a pair of doubles, including a three-run bouncer down the left field line which keyed a four-run seventh inning for Toronto (15-14). Down to a three-man rotation, Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo's bid to go with what he called a ''bullpen day'' of relievers paid off in a game five Toronto pitchers combined to allow three hits, struck out seven and walked three.
The Boston Red Sox had no answers for the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night as they dropped the second game of their three-game set, 9-1.
You never want to be a young kid and be sent down for disciplinary reasons,” Pillar said Wednesday before starting in right field for the Red Sox against the Blue Jays. Honestly, the day I left Toronto to come back to Buffalo when that happened, in the back of my mind I felt like it was my last time ever playing in the Rogers Centre as a home player, as a Toronto Blue Jay . But I didn’t feel like the punishment fit the crime.
Former Red Sox left-hander Jalen Beeks has a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow and will almost certainly require Tommy John surgery, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Beeks, who had a 3.26 ERA in 19 ⅓ innings for the Rays this season, was placed on the 45-day injured list. Beeks was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Orioles in the ninth inning after he threw a pitch and looked toward the dugout shaking his pitching arm.
The Boston Red Sox have found themselves a good one. Alex Verdugo came over to Boston as the centerpiece of the Mookie Betts deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and has done nothing but impress since. Entering the Red Sox’s Wednesday night contest with the Toronto Blue Jays, Verdugo currently leads the squad in qualified batting average with .
Rafael Devers hit a three-run triple to highlight Boston's six-run outburst in the sixth inning as the Red Sox rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-7 on Tuesday night. Devers, who snapped an 0-for-10 streak with a single in the second inning, hit a full-count slider from A.J. Cole, giving Boston an 8-6 edge. Devers later scored on a sacrifice fly by J.D. Martinez as Boston recorded its sixth comeback win of the season.
The Red Sox starting rotation obviously is in shambles with Chris Sale (Tommy John surgery) and Eduardo Rodriguez (myocarditis) out for the 2020 season. And so is Colten Brewer starting only out of necessity or do the Red Sox see potential there for him to succeed in the role longterm? Brewer will make his third start of the 2020 season Wednesday.
Nearly 120 years into their history, it’s rare for the Red Sox to play regular season games in an unfamiliar city. But that’s exactly what’s happening this week as Boston travels to Buffalo for a three-game series against the relocated Blue Jays. After the Canadian government ruled that the Blue Jays wouldn’t be able to play home games in Toronto due to the coronavirus pandemic, the team was sent scrambling looking for a new home.
With the Orioles claiming a series split with the Red Sox, team announcer Kevin Brown found the perfect opportunity for this dig.
Rafael Devers gives the Red Sox an 8-6 lead in the top of the 6th, as he triples into the corner in right to bring in three runs
Nathan Eovaldi was supposed to start Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. But the Boston Red Sox starter will have to wait a few more days to take the mound. Ron Roenicke announced Tuesday the right-hander will be pushed to Saturday’s game against the Washington Nationals due to a calf cramp.
Christian Vazquez has played for only one organization in his professional baseball career. He hopes it stays that way forever. The Red Sox catcher acknowledged Tuesday he’s heard some of the rumors surrounding Boston with the Major League Baseball trade deadline coming up next Monday.
Former Boston Red Sox utility man Brock Holt was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.
Considering how the Red Sox still say they’re aiming to contend in 2021, it appears the club would have to be blown away with an offer to trade either 2019 All-Star. I would say Xander Bogaerts has a shot to be traded,” Heyman said. I’m going to put that at 20%.
MLB insider Jon Heyman discussed the possibility of the Red Sox trading Xander Bogaerts or J.D. Martinez before the Aug. 31 deadline, and he believes there's a fairly high chance of either star being dealt.
at Sahlen Field, Buffalo Tuesday, 6:37 p.m. NESN, WEEI-FM 93.7 Wednesday, 6:37 p.m. NESN, WEEI-FM 93.7 Thursday, 6:37 p.m.
Thanks for reminding me on the 20 losses,” manager Ron Roenicke said after the Sox fell to the Orioles, 5-4, on Sunday. It’s tough when you expect to win and you don’t. And you start off poorly, which we did.
I think getting traded last year opened my eyes to the reality of what might happen, what could happen. Obviously last year when it happened, it was kind of unexpected and my whole world flipped upside down. But I realized once you get to where you’re going, baseball kind of is that safe haven for just going out there, competing.
The Phillies acquired right-handed reliever David Hale from the Yankees to help their league-worst bullpen, sending back righty relief prospect Addison Russ.
And so it was the first time Boston experienced the new extra-inning rule where a runner is placed on second base to begin each half inning. Boston took a 4-3 lead in the 10th when Orioles righty Cole Sulser walked in the go-ahead run with three straight walks. Orioles’ Rio Ruiz, who made the final out of the bottom of the ninth inning, was the runner placed on second base to begin the 10th against Red Sox righty Matt Barnes, who had just entered.
Cedric Mullins hustles through center field and makes an awesome dive to take a base hit away from Xander Bogaerts
I think really the goal should be to make sure that we are fully aware of all the opportunities that might be out there, anything that could be a chance to better our organization, help achieve our goals. And make sure we’re prepared to do something if we do find that opportunity out there. But it’s too early to know exactly what these 10 days will hold.
Mitch Moreland's hot start to 2020 has turned him into a valuable trade chip, and the Red Sox should capitalize, writes our John Tomase.
The Boston Red Sox got a welcome addition to the bullpen Friday night. Young southpaw Darwinzon Hernandez made his season debut in the Sox’s 8-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Hernandez had missed the start of the season due to a bout with COVID-19.
When they were 12, they played baseball because it was fun. And because it was fun, they kept playing and began the climb up the pyramid, to the major leagues. All along the climb, it was a jock-group experience, and that isn’t in any way related to a 9-to-5 job.
Orioles’ late homers not enough to overtake Red Sox Much has been the case this week at Camden Yards, Friday night's biggest blasts did not belong to the Orioles. Pat Valaika and Cedric Mullins went back-to-back in the seventh, and Chance Sisco provided an opposite-field, three-run home run in the eighth, but it wasn't enough to overcome an early trifecta from the Boston Red Sox in an 8-5 loss, the Orioles' sixth straight defeat.
The Philadelphia Phillies were in desperate need of relief pitching, so they gave the Boston Red Sox a ring. The Red Sox had a need both at the Major and Minor League levels for starting pitching depth. Pivetta is more big league ready, having made 92 big league appearances (71 starts), while Seabold is the more high-upside option of the two, but hasn’t played in MLB just yet.
The trade occurred Friday night while Boston was playing in Baltimore and the Phillies were in Atlanta. The trade deadline in this pandemic-shortened season is set for Aug. 31. Earlier Friday, the Phillies acquired right-handed reliever David Hale from the New York Yankees, sending back righty relief prospect Addison Russ.
Make it three for the Boston Red Sox. On a night that saw them also trade Brandon Workman and Heath Hembree to the Philadelphia Phillies, the Red Sox’s bats were alive as they beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-5 Friday in the second contest of their four-game set at Camden Yards. Xander Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers all homered for Boston, while Colten Brewer and Darwinzon Hernandez combined to throw six scoreless innings to begin the game.
Nathan Eovaldi’s outing Thursday, and the resulting relief effort from the bullpen, was one of the best showings on the mound the Boston Red Sox have had all season. And in Game 2 of their four-game set against the Baltimore Orioles, they’re hoping for more of the same. Colten Brewer will be on the mound for Boston to begin Friday’s game at Camden Yards.
The No. 5 prospect will make his major-league debut tonight.
Nathan Eovaldi allowed five hits over seven innings, Xander Bogaerts and Mitch Moreland homered and the Boston Red Sox beat Baltimore 7-1 Thursday to extend the Orioles' losing streak to a season-high five games. It was the second straight victory for Boston following a nine-game skid.

Rafael Devers led the Boston Red Sox to their first victory in more than a week as they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, 6-3.
Darwinzon Hernandez might be the Red Sox’s most fascinating player for the remainder of 2020. The 23-year-old left-hander, just activated from the injured list Thursday after a bout with COVID-19, joins a Boston pitching staff in desperate need of reinforcements. And he’ll enter the fray without a defined role, casting both uncertainty and intrigue over what the future holds for the young southpaw.
He earned that title over his long career as general manager of a Randall's favorite, Elsie's Creamery. Long before all that, though, Chuck was a rock-steady catcher for Ludlow High School's Valley Wheel baseball champions of 1960. Behind the plate,.

Nathan Eovaldi allowed five hits over seven innings, Xander Bogaerts and Mitch Moreland homered and the Boston Red Sox beat Baltimore 7-1 Thursday to extend the Orioles' losing streak to a season-high five games. It was the second straight victory for Boston following a nine-game skid.
Stuck in a nine-game skid, the Boston Red Sox quickly seemed to be heading toward loss No. 10. Especially after rookie Kyle Hart issued a pair of four-pitch walks, loading the bases for the high-scoring Philadelphia Phillies with no outs in the first inning. ''It's amazing how good a win feels,'' Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said on his 64th birthday.
Red Sox center field prospect Jarren Duran has showed power during simulated games at Boston’s alternate training site, Triple-A Pawtucket. The 23-year-old Duran belted his fourth home run on Thursday. The left-handed hitter went opposite field on the first pitch of the game thrown by right-handed pitcher Dylan Covey who has pitched 6 ⅓ innings for Boston this year.
If we look closely at the swing habits of two teams Major League Baseball recently penalized for cheating – the 2018 Red Sox and 2017 Astros – does something look different? Is evidence of sign-stealing born out in the numbers? The answer, Jason Wilson believes, is yes.
J.D. Martinez hits a double down the left-field line and Rafael Devers scores to extend the Red Sox's lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the 3rd
Arrieta's day For the second straight start, Jake Arrieta failed to get through the fifth inning. He allowed five hits, four runs and three walks, which was one more than he allowed in his first three starts combined. Arrieta threw 79 pitches.
Condensed Game: Rafael Devers added three RBIs and Austin Brice picked up the win in the 6-3 victory for the Red Sox
When Andrew McCutchen led off Wednesday afternoon’s game with a double, and then scored as part of a two-run first inning, it looked as if the Phillies’ offense had picked up where it left off on Tuesday night. The Phillies seemed poised to terrorize the Red Sox pitching staff for the second straight game, and extend their winning streak to five. But McCutchen’s hit was one of only three the Phillies tallied all game.
If we look closely at the swing habits of two teams Major League Baseball recently penalized for cheating – the 2018 Red Sox and 2017 Astros – does something look different? Is evidence of sign-stealing born out in the numbers? The answer, Jason Wilson believes, is yes.
After a decision from state politicians banning large gatherings through September, the Boston Red Sox aren’t expecting to welcome fans to Fenway Park this season, according to team president Sam Kennedy. The decision, as relayed by Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, applies to all sports teams in the state, including New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
The Red Sox already were down three veterans heading into Tuesday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. And Boston suffered another blow in the fifth inning. J.D. Martinez exited the matchup after going 1-for-2 with an RBI.
The Philadelphia Phillies were rained out for the 10th consecutive day, a major league record. The Chicago Cubs tagged Grover Alexander for nine straight hits and six runs for a 10-4 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies. Detroit’s Ty Cobb got his 3,000th career hit at age 34, the youngest player to reach that plateau.
The Red Sox weekend series against the New York Yankees didn’t exactly go well for Boston, who lost all four games in the series. But if there was one positive sign to come out of The Bronx perhaps it was the play of Alex Verdugo. The first-year Boston outfielder recorded six hits in 16 at-bats against New York, two of which were home runs.
On Baseball It’s full speed ahead for Red Sox outfield prospect Jarren Duran Andrew Benintendi is on the injured list due to a rib injury. Jackie Bradley Jr. is sidelined by an injured wrist. And the most exciting player at the team’s alternate training site in Pawtucket happens to be an outfielder who is showing a growing skill set that suggests potential big league impact.
Mike Ford gets the Yankees up 1-0 early over the Red Sox with an RBI single
The Boston Red Sox are slumping at the moment. Boston enters Tuesday night’s series opener with the Philadelphia Phillies after losing each of its last eight games including four-game sweeps to both the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees. Zack Godley takes the mound for the Red Sox looking to get the squad back in the win column.
Fernando Tatis Jr. has flipped the baseball world on its head. The young San Diego Padres shortstop had himself a night for the ages Monday by smashing two home runs, including a grand slam, and driving in seven runs in the Padres’ 14-4 win over the Texas Rangers. Tatis’ grand slam has divided the baseball community as he hit it with a 3-0 count and seven-run lead, leading some to say he broke an unwritten rule, while others praised the young star for a finishing off a great at-bat with a monste...
Happ was skipped in the last turn around the rotation and you can find legitimate reasons for why that was the case, such as the Yankees wanting to use Gerrit Cole as much as possible and that before Sunday, the other starters had shown more than Happ last season, this season or both. But there is an elephant the size of Giancarlo Stanton standing on Aaron Judge’s shoulder in the room.
He opened the season on the injured list and eventually was cleared to work out with the reserve team at Pawtucket. It was a significant loss for the Sox. Taylor appeared in 52 games as a rookie last season, and had a 3.04 earned run average with 11.8 strikeouts per nine innings.
Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 10pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly between 10pm and 2am. Patchy fog after 4am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 67.
Condensed Game: J.A. Happ allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings, while Mike Ford homered and drove in three runs in a 4-2 win over the Red Sox
We’ve got to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and come out every day. Some members of the Red Sox were struck by how much the Rays seemed to enjoy their four wins at Fenway Park, noticing the energy in Tampa Bay’s dugout from across the field. The Rays, it seemed, weren’t letting all of the strange circumstances of the 2020 season get in the way of winning.
Yoan Moncada, Yasmani Grandal, Jose Abreu and Eloy Jimenez hit homers in a memorable fifth inning against the St Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Happ was skipped in the last turn around the rotation and you can find legitimate reasons for why that was the case, such as the Yankees wanting to use Gerrit Cole as much as possible and that before Sunday the other starters had shown more than Happ either last season, this season or both. But there is an elephant the size of Giancarlo Stanton standing on Aaron Judge’s shoulder in the room.
J.A. Happ had two recent conversations with Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who bypassed the 37-year-old left-hander the previous time through New York’s rotation. Nobody wants to get skipped. I want to be out there and pitch every five days.
The next-man-up New York Yankees are at it again. Clint Frazier homered, drove in five and made a diving catch filling in for injured right fielder Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez went long in his third straight game, and New York overcame the loss of AL batting leader DJ LeMahieu to beat the Boston Red Sox 11-5 Saturday night. Frazier had three hits, including a three-run drive, and matched a career high in RBIs.
J.A. Happ had two recent conversations with Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who bypassed the 37-year-old left-hander the previous time through New York's rotation. Happ pitched three-hit ball over 5 2/3 innings, Mike Ford drove in three runs and the Yankees beat Boston 4-2 Sunday night for their ninth straight victory over the reeling Red Sox.
With a 4-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday, the Boston Red Sox extended their losing streak to six games. But before the third game of the series, when the streak was still at five, Boston got together for a team meeting to address it. Kevin Pillar, who had a solo home run in the loss, said in his post game video conference Sunday that leaders on the team called for the meeting to discuss overcoming obstacles and sticking together through this difficult stretch.
Rafael Devers drew a rare four-pitch walk during the sixth inning vs. the Yankees on Sunday. It marked only his fourth walk of the 2020 season. It came after the Red Sox third baseman went first-pitch swinging outside the strike zone during the first inning to ground into a double play.
J.A. Happ won in his return to New York’s rotation after being skipped for a turn, Mike Ford drove in three runs and the Yankees beat Boston 4-2 Sunday night for their ninth straight victory over the Red Sox, their best spurt against their rival in nearly 70 years. Hours after second baseman DJ LeMahieu joined Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton on the injured list, Ford put New York ahead when he dumped an RBI single into short center field in the first inning, then gave the Yankees a 4-1 lead wi...
