The Boston Red Sox trust Garrett Whitlock, whether it’s in a close game or to be in charge of the drinks. The Rule 5 reliever was used in yet another high-leverage situation on Wednesday in a win against the New York Mets, entering the game in the sixth inning of a one-run ballgame in what ended up being quite the pitchers duel. Whitlock threw two scoreless innings, giving up just one hit and striking out four batters with a walk.
That was fun. The two games were fun," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "That's what baseball is all about.
I think that’s really me helped stay on top of my heater and get ahead of guys. This is Pivetta’s first season with the Red Sox, and it’s off to a pretty solid start. It isn’t hard to see the confidence he has built in a brief period of time, and there’s good reason for it.
Plate umpire Jerry Layne was staggered by a foul ball off his mask and left the game between the Boston Red Sox and New York Mets at Citi Field on Wednesday night. The 62-year-old crew chief stumbled backward in the third inning after Francisco Lindor fouled off a 94 mph pitch from Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta. Boston catcher Christian Vázquez hopped up quickly and steadied Layne, followed by Lindor.
The Mets saw their pitching staff strikeout 15 hitters, but the offense mustered just two hits in a 1-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.

With Jacob deGrom going for the Mets, you really knew there was one of two ways this game was going to go. Either it was going to be a tremendous pitchers’ duel or it was going to be a blowout for the Mets, because deGrom wasn’t going to give up too much. Fortunately for the Red Sox, it was the former and they came out on the right end of it.
He’s important,” manager Alex Cora said before Wednesday night’s game. There’s a reason he’s hitting behind those two guys [J.D. Martinez and Xander Bogaerts]. He’s going to have a lot of traffic in front of him and he does a good job with the game on the line and men in scoring position.
Francisco Lindor finally hit the baseball hard, but Marwin Gonzalez played spoiler. The New York Mets were down 1-0 to the Boston Red Sox in the bottom of the eighth inning with one out when Lindor ripped what looked like was about to be a single to right. But Gonzalez jumped up and made a snowcone catch to keep Lindor off the bases.
In Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Red Sox at Citi Field, the Mets (9-10) wasted yet another quality start from ace Jacob deGrom — don't look so surprised — as Boston swept them over two games here. The Mets were two-hit while striking out 14 times, perhaps their worst offensive performance of the season. The Mets now head into an off day, which could be good (rest and reset before a two-city road trip) or bad (playing every day could help hitters gain a rhythm).

BOSTON (SHNS) – As school districts plan for socially distanced graduations, the Boston Red Sox announced Tuesday that Fenway Park will serve as the venue for 15 Boston Public Schools commencement ceremonies. The Red Sox said they offered the park to all 38 graduating high school classes, and some schools had already secured other venues.

Matt Barnes wasn't convinced he should change, but the Red Sox opened his eyes with a stat that has paid huge dividends so far in 2021, John Tomase writes.
The Red Sox right-hander is going in the right direction now. Richards finally found the strike zone and punched out 10, Bobby Dalbec hit his first homer of the season and Boston beat the New York Mets 2-1 Tuesday night. Richards (1-2) allowed a run and seven hits over seven innings, issuing no free passes one start after walking six.

The owners of the Boston Red Sox aren't limiting their pro sports interest solely to Major League Baseball. Speaking in a Sportico webinar Tuesday, Fenway Sports Group limited partner Sam Kennedy said the organization that counts LeBron James and Maverick Carter among its partners would happily buy an NBA or NHL franchise should one become available.
Mitch Haniger hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning moments after Sam Haggerty's go-ahead double, and the Seattle Mariners rallied past the Boston Red Sox 7-3 Thursday night despite getting just three hits on a cold, blustery night. Seattle is the first team to score seven or more runs on three or fewer hits since the 1994 Oakland Athletics scored eight runs on a pair of hits against Toronto, according to ESPN. Haggerty made it 4-3 with his double off Darwinzon Hernandez (0-1), Seattle's first hit since Ty France's tying, two-run double against Nick Pivetta with two outs in the fifth that snapped the right-hander's no-hit bid.
It’s always tempting to connect the dots. Red Sox prospect Jarren Duran has started spending time in left field at the alternate site in Worcester. Aside from a half-dozen innings in spring training this year, the appearances by Duran — a college infielder who played exclusively in center field in both the 2019 minor league season and at the alternate site in 2020 — in left represented a novelty.
He’s pitched really well,” Red Sox pitching coach Dave Bush said. He’s certainly performed well enough to have a better role but there’s still a lot of factors here. He missed the whole year because of Tommy John.
Eduardo Rodriguez continues to be a stabilizing force in the Boston Red Sox' rotation.
Kyle Seager singled, doubled and tripled, Sam Haggerty and Ty France also had three hits apiece, and Chris Flexen limited Boston to four hits over seven innings on Saturday to lead the Seattle Mariners to an 8-2 victory over the Red Sox. Seager singled in a run in the first inning, tripled home two more in the second and doubled in the fifth. Seager, who homered in his last at-bat on Friday night, had two chances to complete the cycle on Saturday, but he struck out on three pitches in the seventh and popped out in foul territory in the ninth.

On Saturday, former Minot State Beaver baseball player Justin Demary was honored with a pregame ceremony. Demary, who passed away on Feb. 22 at the age of 25, had previously worked as a strength and conditioning coach in the Boston Red Sox minor league system. As part of the ceremony, Demary’s mother Tammy (right) and girlfriend Sydney Prigge both threw out the first pitch.
After a lost year due to COVID-related heart problems, Eduardo Rodriguez is back atop the Red Sox rotation. The Boston left-hander struck out eight Mariners in six innings to beat Seattle 5-3 on Sunday and remain unbeaten on the season. The Red Sox had lost three of four since his previous outing.
Rodriguez (4-0) gave up six hits — five of them doubles — and no walks to help the Red Sox earn their major league-leading 11th comeback victory of the season. He won 19 games in 2019 and then missed all of last season with inflammation in his heart muscles as a result of COVID-19.
Mitch Haniger hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning moments after Sam Haggerty's go-ahead double, and the Seattle Mariners rallied past the Boston Red Sox 7-3 Thursday night despite getting just three hits on a cold, blustery night. Seattle is the first team to score seven or more runs on three or fewer hits since the 1994 Oakland Athletics scored eight runs on a pair of hits against Toronto, according to ESPN. Haggerty made it 4-3 with his double off Darwinzon Hernandez (0-1), Seattle's first hit since Ty France's tying, two-run double against Nick Pivetta with two outs in the fifth that snapped the right-hander's no-hit bid.
Does Xander Bogaerts get enough love as a Major League Baseball shortstop? Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora does not think so. He’s underrated,” Cora told reporters Saturday during a video press conference.
Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run homer all the way out of Fenway Park and added an RBI single as the Boston Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 6-5 on Friday night. J.D. Martinez also homered for the Red Sox, who survived a late scare when Kyle Seager hit a three-run homer in the ninth to pull Seattle within a run. Matt Barnes, who gave up Seager’s drive deep to right, got Evan White to line out to Bogaerts and end it.
Kyle Seager, Chris Flexen power Mariners past Red Sox
He has given the Sox only 17⅓ innings in four starts and allowed 11 earned runs. Tanner Houck needs to refine a third pitch, but he’s better with just his fastball and slider than Pérez is now. Rodriguez and Eovaldi are trustworthy starters.
He’s a guy that we trust, and we believe he is going to make contact, and when he makes contact, good things happen,” Cora said. So, like I said earlier, you know, I believe right now he’s in between, trying to make contact instead of putting a good at bat. If he does that he’s gonna be in a better spot.
Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez stayed hot as the Red Sox got back to their winning ways on Friday night against the Mariners.
And J.D. Martinez agrees. The designated hitter, who is off to perhaps the hottest start on the entire team, is liking the Red Sox’s vibe so far this season. He, too, has likened the 2021 team to Boston’s most recent World Series-champion roster.
Haggerty made it 4-3 with his double off Darwinzon Hernandez (0-1), Seattle's first hit since Ty France's tying, two-run double against Nick Pivetta with two outs in the fifth that snapped the right-hander's no-hit bid. Haniger, who walked twice, came up later in the 10th and belted a shot out to right-center for his fifth homer of the season. The Mariners improved to 5-0 in games when Haniger homers.
On average this year, Cordero has been positioned 296 feet from home plate. Overall, Red Sox left fielders have stood 292 feet from home with Pivetta on the mound. That distance barely changes in two-strike counts, with left fielders at 291 feet.
The Red Sox wore three different uniforms and played four games in less than 47 hours to start their longest homestand of the year last weekend. Though fan capacity was at less than 5,000 because of COVID-19 restrictions, it was definitely a feel-good vibe. I roamed the ballpark capturing images while the Red Sox played the White Sox.
J.D. Martinez drills a solo home run down the right-field line, increasing the Red Sox's lead to 3-1 in the bottom of the 3rd inning
It’s about having a conversation with [Worcester pitching coach Paul Abbott] and I’m kind of going back tomorrow to the grind tomorrow and just pushing it. The 6-foot-5 Houck has had trouble repeating his delivery and finding his release point in the past, which is the case for a lot of pitchers of Houck’s stature. Everything has to be in sync for it all to work.
The Red Sox are pushing each other around in laundry carts and having fun again, and some players are even getting some 2018 vibes. Christian Vazquez said this week that these 2021 Red Sox remind him of the 2018 version ? which won 108 regular-season games en route to the World Series ?
Xander Bogaerts launches a two-run home run over the Green Monster, giving the Red Sox a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the 1st inning
Mitch Haniger hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning moments after Sam Haggerty's go-ahead double, and the Seattle Mariners rallied past the Boston Red Sox 7-3 Thursday night despite getting just three hits on a cold, blustery night. Seattle is the first team to score seven or more runs on three or fewer hits since the 1994 Oakland Athletics scored eight runs on a pair of hits against Toronto, according to ESPN.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora was happy to see Pivetta put together another strong start, too. The 28-year-old has allowed a combined 14 hits in four games this season. He remains 2-0 on the season with Thursday’s no decision.
Cora went back to the point on a few occasions, including when answering a question about how left fielder Franchy Cordero played a two-out double in the sixth inning. That hit came after two walks by starter Nick Pivetta, who put together an impressive 5 2/3 innings prior to that sequence. He was playing where he was supposed to,” Cora said in response to Cordero.

Hunter Renfroe knocks an RBI single to right field to plate Rafael Devers, extending the Red Sox's lead to 2-0 in the 4th inning
Richards also gave up a double before the inning ended with the Red Sox now trailing 4-0. The good news is Richards did settle down a bit after that, picking up a couple of strikeouts in a perfect third inning. In the fourth, he did issue a walk and make an error on a pickoff attempt, but no other runners reached base to make it two straight scoreless innings off the righty.
Rafael Devers hits an RBI groundout to plate J.D. Martinez, cutting the Red Sox's deficit to 4-1 in the 4th inning
Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run home run to back Eduardo Rodríguez in his first start at Fenway Park since 2019, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Tuesday night. Rodríguez (3-0), who missed last season due to COVID-19 complications, allowed two runs on three hits over six innings and struck out six for AL East-leading Boston. Matt Andriese, Adam Ottavino and Matt Barnes each worked a scoreless inning in relief.
Barnes and eight members of the organization — players and staff members — were held out of action over the final weekend of Grapefruit League play before being allowed to resume workouts and coaching duties. It’s just some testing that didn’t go the way it should have gone,” Cora said. I’ve been tested for the last 24 hours and things are trending in the right direction.
Red Sox rookie Bobby Dalbec’s Statcast data exceeds his production Raise your hand if you predicted that Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec would collect his first career triple before tallying his first home run of the season. Nobody, right? Dalbec crushed a hanging curve that dropped over the head of the center fielder and bounced around in the triangle for a triple that drove in a run during the fourth inning of Tuesday’s win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
The 2021 Red Sox are off to a hot start, but what about the players they've left behind? Here's a look at how some notable ex-Red Sox have performed so far this season.
Alex Cora initially didn’t have a whole lot of time to collect his thoughts on the guilty verdict Derek Chauvin received for the murder of George Floyd, but he was ready to talk about it Wednesday. Cora noted after the Boston Red Sox’s 4-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday that his emotions were “all over the place” regarding the news. The Red Sox skipper spoke about the monumental day prior to Boston’s game against the Blue Jays at Fenway Park, saying the verdict is about accountability.
Toronto Blue Jays (7-10, fourth in the AL East) vs. Boston Red Sox (12-6, first in the AL East) Boston; Wednesday, 7:10 p.m. EDT PITCHING PROBABLES: Blue Jays: Trent Thornton (0-0, 2.35 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 6 strikeouts) Red Sox: Garrett Richards (0-1, 6.00 ERA, 1.75 WHIP, 10 strikeouts) BOTTOM LINE: Toronto enters the matchup as losers of their last three games. The Red Sox are 7-3 against AL East teams.
I would think that [after] the experience that a lot of people have had being a manager of the Red Sox, this would be a step up,” he says with a chuckle. He was fired a day after the 2012 season ended, his one-year stint ending with a last-place finish in a controversial season. Any regrets?
Kiké Hernández was showing off some new bling on Tuesday afternoon. Before playing center field for the Boston Red Sox ahead of their series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park, he was flaunting around with his new World Series ring. Hernández won the title in 2020 with the Los Angeles Dodgers before signing with Boston in the ensuing offseason, so Los Angeles just shipped him the rock.
WHIP, 19 strikeouts) Red Sox: Eduardo Rodriguez (2-0, 3.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 12 strikeouts) FANDUEL SPORTSBOOK LINE: Red Sox -117, Blue Jays +100; over/under is 8 1/2 runs BOTTOM LINE: The Toronto Blue Jays travel to take on the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. The Red Sox are 6-3 against opponents from the AL East. Boston has hit 21 home runs this season, eighth in the American League.
The drought is over for Xander Bogaerts. The Boston Red Sox shortstop hit his first home run of the season Tuesday night, and it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. The Red Sox were down 1-0 to the Toronto Blue Jays when Christian Arroyo and J.D. Martinez hit back-to-back singles to bring Bogaerts to the plate.

It’s the first time since 2003 the Red Sox started a game with six straight hits (Boston won that game 25-8). When it was all said and done, Boston put a six-pack up on the board in the first, sending Lucas Giolito to an early shower. We didn’t really hit the way we normally hit (Sunday) during the double-header, so somebody had to pay, I guess,” outfielder Enrique Hernandez told NESN after the game.
Probably the best inning of this short season. Line drive after line drive, quality at-bat after quality at-bat, “ Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. We had good at-bats against a good pitcher, one of the best in the league.
He covers a lot of ground,” he said Monday, per MassLive. Speed, naturally, thatâ s the way it is. I know heâ s still kind of like fixing a few things here and there as far as like his routes and finding the wall.
To hear Cora be honest on Sunday was a bit surprising. Honesty was his calling card in 2018, when he wasn’t afraid to publicly challenge his players to be better. But after the Sox won it all that season, Cora came back in ’19 and appeared to be much softer around the edges, rarely critiquing his own players or admitting their mistakes, instead often defending them, even as the $200-million-plus roster won just 84 games.
Yermín Mercedes opened Chicago’s three-run fourth inning with a long homer, and the White Sox completed a sweep of their split-admission doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday with a 5-1 victory. Nick Madrigal had two hits and drove in two runs for Chicago, which climbed back to . at 8-8.
MartÃn Pérez is taking the good with the bad out of a so-so start Sunday. In the second game of a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox, the lefty went 3 2/3 innings and gave up four earned runs off seven hits to be credited with the loss. But the pitcher didn’t come off at all discouraged by his outing in a postgame media availability after the ultimate 5-1 loss.
Wearing their new blue-and-yellow uniforms, the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox 7-4 Saturday when Marwin Gonzalez homered to key a four-run rally in the eighth inning. The uniforms — lacking any red — honor the Boston Marathon with the colors that stretch across the finish line of the famous race. They featured yellow tops with powder-blue lettering across the front, numbers on the back and caps, with white pants.
Tim Anderson’s leadoff homer of Tanner Houck to start Game 1 set the tone for a successful day for the club, as they used that to help win Game 1 3-2. In the second contest, the White Sox got a strong performance from starter Michael Kopech, who was in that role for the first time in nearly three years. His pitching along with another memorable moment from Yermin Mercedes finished off the sweep of the day in a 5-1 victory.
In the opener, Tim Anderson homered on the game’s first pitch and Dallas Keuchel pitched five solid innings in a 3-2 victory. The teams play the series finale Monday morning in Boston’s annual Patriots’ Day Game with a scheduled 11:05 a.m. first pitch at Fenway Park.
STILL WAITING The Twins will continue coronavirus testing and contact tracing with the hope of getting back on the field Tuesday for a doubleheader at Oakland. Minnesota had games against the Angels in Anaheim on Saturday and Sunday postponed. The Twins-Athletics game Monday also was called off.
Chaim Bloom and Alex Cora deserve credit for how the Red Sox offseason acquisitions have played this season.
The game’s biggest early surprise comes in the form of an opponent not generally expected to present a threat to the Yankees this year. The overlooked Boston Red Sox have that ineffable feeling of a good team.
The Boston Red Sox nearly pulled off another comeback victory Thursday afternoon in Minnesota, but the Twins earned a walk-off victory in the bottom of the ninth inning in the series finale at Target Field.
Earlier this afternoon, the Red Sox lost a close game, 3-2. This afternoon, they sent out Martin Pérez to face former Red Sox top prospect Michael Kopech. Unfortunately for the Red Sox, Martin Pérez is still Martin Pérez.

Marwin Gonzalez led off what turned into a four-run eighth with a home run to lead the host Boston Red Sox to a 7-4 win over the Chicago White Sox Saturday at Fenway Park. The win was Boston's 10th in its past 11 games. After an 0-3 start, the Red Sox rattled off nine consecutive wins before losing to Minnesota on Thursday.
He went 4-for-5 at the plate and drove in two insurance runs during the Red Sox’s eighth-inning rally, though he did commit an error in the third. His physical skills are not the only ones to be admired, though. His leadership skills deserve praise, too.
All eyes are on the Minnesota Twins as COVID-19 strikes the team. Major League Baseball postponed the Twin’s game against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday as Minnesota’s situation worsened. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said one staff member and two players, including Kyle Garlick, are the latest to test positive for the virus, according to The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya.
Red Sox pitcher Kyle Hart brought it in a big way. The left-hander worked four innings and allowed one run on one hit (solo home run) with two walks and 10 strikeouts en route to a 9-1 scrimmage win over the New York Mets’ alternate roster Saturday at Polar Park. He struck out six consecutive batters to start the game.
The Marathon, usually held on Patriots’ Day in conjunction with an 11 a.m. start for the Red Sox at Fenway Park, was moved to Oct. 11 due to the pandemic. Xander Bogaerts and Kiké Hernández each had a double and three singles for the Red Sox.
There wasn’t a batter or a pitcher on either Sox who didn’t suffer from at least a few terrible calls, as Morales’ strike zone roamed more than Marco Polo. That also means there wasn’t a batter or a pitcher who didn’t benefit from the crummy officiating, but none of them had a chance to know what the next call might be. Morales did a horrible, horrible job.
One of the Red Sox’s biggest problems in its first series was a lack of balance between pitching and hitting. Outside of its 11-3 loss in the series finale, Boston’s bats were largely silent, especially with runners in scoring position, and left the pitching staff to handle the bulk of the load. But that was not the case Saturday.

Nathan Eovaldi pitched five effective innings and the Boston Red Sox extended their winning streak to eight games, beating the Minnesota Twins 3-2.
Kepler's bloop RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning gave Minnesota a 4-3 victory Thursday over Boston — stopping a five-game losing streak for the Twins and breaking a nine-game winning string for the Red Sox. It's impossible to go out and play baseball and not feel it when it’s going really well or when it’s not going really well. It’s really how you harness that,” manager Rocco Baldelli said.

Much like the Twins series, the Red Sox will face their share of proven pitches with Dallas Keuchel set to pitch Saturday, followed by Lucas Giolito Sunday and Carlos Rodón Monday. Rodón threw a no-hitter against the Indians Wednesday night. The Red Sox are geared for the challenge but also understand it’s just one series in a marathon of a season.

Alex Cora is nothing if not passionate about baseball. And in the last contest of a four-game series against the Minnesota Twins, the Boston Red Sox manager had that side of himself on display before getting ejected. I didn’t want to get thrown out, right?
Max Kepler’s bloop single to center brought home Arraez, who finished the day with four hits and played three different positions, to lift the Twins over the Red Sox 4-3 on Thursday afternoon, sending them off on their six-game California road trip on a positive note after a difficult week. Winning over the course of a season is messy a lot of times,” manager Rocco Baldelli said.
