Vaccines don’t always prevent infection Researchers had hoped to design safe COVID-19 vaccines that would prevent at least half of the people vaccinated from getting COVID-19 symptoms. Fortunately, the vaccines have vastlyoutperformed expectations. For example, in 6.5 million residents of Israel, aged 16 years and older, the Pfizer–BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine was found to be 95.3% effective after both shots.

Sunday’s Red Sox-Miami Marlins contest at Fenway Park was postponed and rescheduled for Monday, June 7. This means the Red Sox will have to relinquish an off day and instead stare down a schedule that includes 17 straight games in as many days. If you consider the opponents, this might be the Red Sox’ biggest test of the season.
Eovaldi's scoreless start leads Boston to 3-1 win
The crowd erupted into a loud cheer when Ottavino struck out Cooper on a sharp slider. I think the crowd was what made it different than its been,” Ottavino said. Just a lot of energy in the moment, especially once I got to two strikes on the last guy.
She's spent the past four months pitching health guidance as head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now, CDC director and Boston Red Sox fan Dr. Rochelle Walensky will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Boston's game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. It's a big day not just for Walensky, but also for Red Sox fans and all of Massachusetts.
May 29—RALEIGH — A new public campaign encouraging North Carolinians to "Vax Up or Mask Up" to support the new guidance that lifts many of the state's COVID-19 restrictions has been launched by the state health agency. To date, nearly half of the state has been fully vaccinated and everyone age 12 and older can get the vaccine, according to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human ...
Couple guys came in the dugout and were just talking about how electric it was and I think it was a great experience for them. Some tense plays out there, some tense moments the crowd was into, and I think everyone enjoyed it for sure. Ottavino wasn’t the only to come through in a high-leverage moment, either.

With a delay clearly on the way, Verdugo said the Red Sox wanted to be the ones who broke the tie — just in case the game couldn't continue in those conditions. "I don’t know how the infielders were actually able to throw the ball, either. It felt like every ball I would get was just waterlogged," Verdugo said.

Alex Cora on Friday hinted that the corresponding move for Franchy Cordero could be “on the pitching side,” and that exactly was the case. The Boston Red Sox announced they recalled right-handed pitcher Colten Brewer from Triple-A Worcester just ahead of their series opener against the Miami Marlins at Fenway Park. Brewer has made four starts and seven relief appearances with the Worcester Red Sox.
The first game of a three-game series between the Miami Marlins and Boston Red Sox entered a rain delay in the middle of the sixth inning on Friday at Fenway Park with the Red Sox holding a 5-2 lead. Exactly when — or if — the game will resume Friday night is unclear. The weather forecast in Boston calls for steady rain until at least 9 a.m.
Additionally, three more teams have had at least 85 percent of their Tier 1 personnel receive their final dose of COVID-19 vaccine, with full vaccination status coming in the next two weeks. We’re not in that mix,” said Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who is fully vaccinated. We got closer two weeks ago but then this week we didn’t make any progress.

Xander Bogaerts and Danny Santana crushed back-to-back bombs for the Red Sox vs. the Phillies on Saturday night.
Rafael Devers on Wednesday reset the score against the Atlanta Braves with his 14th home run of the year. Down two runs in the bottom of the fourth with two outs, the Boston Red Sox third baseman had Xander Bogaerts on first, and took the third pitch he saw into the stands. Slight work for the team’s leader in home runs.
The Atlanta Braves enter Wednesday’s clash with the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park the MLB leader in home runs per game, and they will look to keep the long hits coming against a starting pitcher they are familiar with in Nick Pivetta. In 15 career appearances against the Braves, Pivetta has a solid 5-2 record, but that comes with a 4.74 ERA and 7.4 strikeouts and 1.3 home runs allowed per nine innings. This season, Pivetta is walking 4.5 walks batters per nine innings.
Red sox first. Kike Hernandez singles to shallow center field. Alex Verdugo walks.
Morton did not have his command early on, and the Red Sox were taking some advantage to get on base. The Braves righty started the game by allowing a base hit to Kiké Hernández on the first pitch he threw, and then following that up with a walk to Alex Verdugo. With the first two men on, the Red Sox caught a break when J.D. Martinez ripped a line drive right at Ozzie Albies, but the Braves second baseman let it go right under his glove.
Garrett Richards strikes out four over 5 2/3 innings, allowing six hits and three runs in his start against the Braves
Since Christian Arroyo was placed on the 10-day injured list, the Boston Red Sox had to replenish the roster and call some guys up, and one player in particular has stood out. After impressing with Triple-A Worcester, utility player Danny Santana made his debut with the team in a two-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies, hitting home runs on both occasions.
But I’m going to do whatever they ask me to, and I’m going to do it to the best of my ability. But for right now, I think they’re going to want to keep things at least a little bit short. Wu-Yelland’s fastball heading into the draft sat between 91-94 m.p.h.

The Boston Red Sox are playing some good baseball of late, but the Tampa Bay Rays have taken over the top spot in the American League East after going off for 11 straight wins, pushing Boston to second place for the first time in 44 days. Still, there’s much to be optimistic about, and they’re ranked pretty high in this week’s power rankings from MLB.com. In fact, they stayed steady at at the No.
Chavis was 9 for 33 (. with five extra-base hits in 10 games after being called up May 7. But he also struck out 13 times and was hitless in five at-bats with runners in scoring position.
Article content Nick Pivetta missing out on a chance to pitch on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies this weekend might be the closest thing to a blemish his season with the Boston Red Sox has had so far. Pivetta, a 28-year-old right-hander from Victoria, is 5-0 with a 3.59 earned run average with the Red Sox, the team that landed him in a trade with the Phillies last August. We apologize, but this video has failed to load.
Zack Wheeler struck out a career high-tying 12 and the Philadelphia Phillies ended a four-game skid, beating the Boston Red Sox 6-2 on Sunday. Odubel Herrera doubled twice and singled while Brad Miller hit a three-run homer as the Phillies averted a sweep and stopped Boston's four-game winning streak. Wheeler (4-2) allowed only three hits in 7 1/3 innings, and retired 17 straight batters after a leadoff single.
The biggest bids this week in my leagues were in AL Tout Wars, where we had not one but two massive buys (over 1/3 of the player's respective FAAB budget). For my teams, there were no sweeping moves, only soul-crushing drop decisions following a slew of injuries on those teams. Let's dive in.
Rhys Hoskins singled home Herrera with the first run and after Alec Bohm walked, Miller hit a drive just inside the left-field foul pole for his fourth homer of the year. It was big today jumping out early and letting him cruise,” Miller said. It’s hard to throw a shutout every time.
Sunday was a great day for a long drive, especially ones of at least 440 feet. Check out the best of the day's action in major league baseball.
It was his first home run in a Boston Red Sox uniform, and Franchy Cordero absolutely smoked it. While the offense was dominated by Philadelphia Phillies starter Zack Wheeler in a 6-2 loss Sunday, the Red Sox outfielder batted second in the eighth inning and got Boston on the board. The homer may not have changed the outcome of the game, but was still noteworthy as the hardest hit ball in Major League Baseball so far this year, per the NESN broadcast, with an exit velocity of 118.6 mph.
Austin Meadows, Manuel Margot, and Mike Brosseau drew consecutive bases-loaded walks with two outs in the ninth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays rallied for their 10th straight win, beating the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-4, in the penultimate regular-season game in Dunedin, Fla. The Rays trailed 4-2 going into the ninth, but took advantage of five walks by relievers Tyler Chatwood (0-1) and Travis Bergen to climb into a first-place tie in the AL East after the Red Sox lost in Philadelphia.
The White Sox quest to find a competent third baseman appeared to be at an end as GM Frank Lane sent infielder Grady Hatton and $100,000 to Boston for All-Star George Kell. It was the first time the Red Sox had sold a player outright since the Babe Ruth deal more than 25 years earlier. Kell’s best year for the White Sox was 1955, when he hit .

Xander Bogaerts and Danny Santana crushed back-to-back bombs for the Red Sox vs. the Phillies on Saturday night.
He was hitting . with a . OPS and 37 RBIs.
Xander Bogaerts was able to come through there, putting the ball in play and bringing a run home on a ground out. They didn’t stop there, either, with Rafael Devers just missing a home run out to left field and settling for an RBI double to give Boston the early 2-0 lead. So that was a really nice start off of a very good pitcher, but Nola started to look more like himself for the next few innings.
Rafael Devers and Danny Santana hit homers to back Martin Perez, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Philadelphia Phillies 11-3 Friday night. Perez (2-2) allowed three runs and five hits, striking out seven in six innings. The AL East-leading Red Sox have won three in a row.

With two outs in the ninth inning and the tying run on third base, J.D. Martinez launched an absolute missile to right-center field off Rafael Dolis. That two-run shot gave the Red Sox an 8-7 lead. It was just a big at-bat, big situation against that team, a team we’re going to be battling with all year,” Martinez said of his emotional reaction while rounding first base.

Pitcher Martin Perez had one of the uglier swings you'll see during Friday night's game between the Red Sox and Phillies.
With less than two months until the Red Sox make their highest draft pick in more than a half-century, the top of the board is jumbled. In a year when the Red Sox hold the No. overall pick, five names have emerged as the proverbial cream of the crop.
David Ortiz sure enjoyed the Boston Red Sox’s thrilling comeback against the Toronto Blue Jays. J.D. Martinez lifted Boston to arguably its biggest win of the 2021 Major League Baseball season Thursday night at TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Fla. launching a two-run home run with two outs in the ninth inning to propel the Red Sox to an 8-7 victory.
Tomorrow, the Celtics face the Nets in Game 1 of the playoffs at 8 p.m. And also on Saturday at 8 p.m. the Revolution face the Red Bulls at Gillette Stadium.
Danny Santana made a nice first impression in his Red Sox debut Friday night.
J.D. Martinez hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in a three-run ninth inning, and Boston Red Sox rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-7. Alex Verdugo had an RBI grounder before Martinez connected on his 250th homer. The two-out drive came off Rafael Dolis, making his second appearance since returning from a right calf injury.
MartÃn Pérez was punched out in his first at-bat Friday night at Citizens Bank Park, but at least he went down swinging. We’re using the term “swinging” loosely, however. Pérez made the Red Sox’s final out of the top half of the second inning in pretty hilarious fashion.

Don’t expect Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck to make their situationship official any time soon. Even though Lopez and Affleck were previously engaged, they’re reportedly trying to take it slow this time around.

But the way he’s doing it this year is a lot different and his stuff is a lot better than last year,” manager Alex Cora said Wednesday. Earlier this season, the Sox considered splitting up Nate Eovaldi and Eduardo Rodriguez to lessen the potential load on their relievers. But Pivetta and Garrett Richards have pitched well enough to table that idea.
Triston Casas, first baseman The top prospect in the Red Sox organization probably won’t see much action with the big club unless it’s as a September call-up. But boy, is it hard not to get excited about his potential. Casas is making mincemeat out of Double-A pitching with the Portland Sea Dogs, hitting .
The Boston Red Sox brought out the bats Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Boston recorded five hits before registering an out, and two of those knocks went for back-to-back home runs by No. batter Alex Verdugo and No.
In a TikTok video addressed to Lopez with the caption, “Miss you, J-Lo,” the Red Sox showed video of Lopez at a game while her ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez broadcast for Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN.

Kiké Hernández returned to the Boston Red Sox lineup Tuesday for the first time since May 6 after suffering a hamstring strain. And Alex Cora is happy to have hime back. Hernández reclaimed the leadoff spot against the Toronto Blue Jays as the Red Sox look to bounce back after Sunday’s loss to the los Angeles Angels.
As Massachusetts arenas, stadiums and ballparks prepare for a return to full capacity in accordance with , there is high demand for tickets to entertainment events. Fenway Park will be at full capacity for Boston Red Sox games and concerts starting May 29, while Gillette Stadium will be at 100% capacity for events starting on Memorial Day. "There's definitely a big market right now to get out and go to the ballgames," said Clarissa Montes.
Boston manager Alex Cora seems to agree after what he’s seen from Ohtani. We’ve never seen anything like that,” Cora told reporters pregame ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It’s like, I don’t know, Deion Sanders and football, right?
The Boston Red Sox released a statement Monday confirming Fenway Park will host fans at 100% capacity when those restrictions are gone. Today’s update to the reopening plan will allow Fenway Park to begin operating at full capacity beginning on May 29 for games and concerts throughout the summer, Red Sox CEO and president Sam Kennedy said.

Shohei Ohtani's two-run homer off Matt Barnes with two outs in the ninth inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-5 win over host Boston on Sunday, preventing the Red Sox from completing a three-game sweep. The Red Sox were one out away from getting that sweep when Mike Trout stepped to the plate to face Barnes (1-1), who entered the game 9-for-9 in save opportunities. Trout, who was 0-for-15 on the trip and hitless in his last 18 at-bats overall, blooped a single into shallow right center field.

Kiké Hernández only has been with the Red Sox for a few months, but he’s already made history for the organization. Hernandez currently is in Worcester rehabbing a hamstring injury. The eighth-year pro was in the WooSox’s lineup Sunday, and he was responsible for five of the club’s seven runs in its 7-4 win over the Syracuse Mets.
Ohtani hit a two-out, two-run drive in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Angels rallied past the Boston Red Sox 6-5 Sunday, ending a four-game losing streak. Coming off a losing streak and the first two games of the series, the way we lost, it wasn’t a good way to lose,” Ohtani said through a team translator. So, it was huge for us and the team to come up with this.
After a rocky start to his rookie season, Red Sox slugger Bobby Dalbec appears to be turning things around.
Bogaerts, Devers each homer in Red Sox' 9-0 win
Alex Verdugo probably couldn’t have picked a better game to be playing in front of his friends and family at Fenway Park for the first time since he’s been with the Red Sox. For starters, Saturday was his 25th birthday, so an obvious occasion to make the trip out to Boston. It could have gone either way, though, as the center fielder was amid an 0-for-14 hitting hiatus entering the game, not to mention some back tightness he’d dealt with near the stretch.
The Angels, who on Saturday acquired reliever Hunter Strickland from Tampa Bay, lost for the 10th time in 13 games with a 9-0 defeat at Boston.

Pivetta was pulled after Anthony Rendon's leadoff single in the seventh. Jared Walsh followed with a single against Andriese, and both runners scored when Iglesias lined a double to the corner in right. Griffin Canning had a similar night for the Angels, striking out seven over six innings and allowing two runs and six hits.
Red Sox right fielder Hunter Renfroe showed off his arm with an incredible outfield assist during Wednesday night's game vs. the Athletics.
Dalbec understands that’s not a part of his game yet either. That’s why J.D. is so good, because he knows how to attack those [areas of weakness] all the time,” Dalbec said prior to the Red Sox’ series opener against the Angels. He’s mastered being able to fix things right after an at-bat and I’m just not there yet.
Hunter Renfroe has never hit a home run that did not sound absolutely beautiful off the bat. Don’t look it up. It’s true.
