    The Boston Red Sox Friday, May 19, 2017 * The Boston Globe Hector Velazquez’s debut isn’t what Red Sox were hoping for Peter Abraham OAKLAND, Calif. — The Red Sox arrived at their hotel in San Francisco at 4 a.m. Thursday after beating the St. Louis Cardinals in 13 innings on Wednesday night. The only player to get a decent night of sleep was pitcher Hector Velazquez, who traveled ahead of the team for what would be his major league debut against the Oakland Athletics. But rested did not equate to ready. The Athletics hit Velazquez hard and beat the Red Sox, 8-3, before a crowd of only 12,016 at Oakland Coliseum. After seven competent seasons in the Mexican League and five strong starts for Triple A Pawtucket this year, the 28-year-old Velazquez was deemed ready for the majors. He was not. Velazquez allowed six runs on nine hits over five innings. Five of the hits were for extra bases, three of them home runs. “Thought there might be a little bit better command in the strike zone,” Sox manager John Farrell said. “He’s a guy that we felt like had a very efficient and pretty basic delivery and the ability to repeat a release point. There were some pitches that stayed up in the middle of the plate and they made him pay for it.” No roster move was made after the game, but Velazquez may not be around for long. The Sox have a day off on Monday and by Wednesday could have David Price ready to come off the disabled list.

  • Jed Lowrie Returns to a Familiar Place by Alex Speier, WEEI.Com
    STANFORD BASEBALL CLIPS April 18, 2011 Jed Lowrie returns to a familiar place By Alex Speier, WEEI.com Jed Lowrie's best run in the big leagues offers echoes of past runs of success in college and the minors. (AP) Jed Lowrie's best run in the big leagues offers echoes of past runs of success in college and the minors. (AP) It may have seemed like Jed Lowrie was playing out of his mind during the Red Sox’ homestand at Fenway Park, having a sort of once- in-a-lifetime, out-of-body run of brilliance at the plate. He wasn’t. Lowrie had similar runs before, and therein lies the intrigue of what he is currently doing. Granted, the seven-game hitting streak that occurred during the Sox homestand, in which Lowrie was 15-for-24 (.625), unquestionably represented his best run at the major league level, and so it would be difficult to argue the point that it was the best run he’s ever been on given the talent of his opponents. All the same, there was precedent for Lowrie to go on a tear along these lines, something that the shortstop noted when asked – after going 4-for-5 on Monday – whether he had ever experienced anything along the lines of this stretch. “Yeah, sure,” he said. “I hit .400 in college. I hit .300 in the minor leagues. It’s a hot streak, one that you continue to work and extend as long as possible.” In fact, the Sox’ series in Oakland offers a reminder of the basis for such claims.
