The defending champ Gamecocks landed pitcher Matt Price, who led the nation with 20 saves and kept USC in the running throughout the CWS with clutch relief appearances, on the first unit, along with starting ace Michael Roth (14-3, 1.06 earned run average, 112 strikeouts in a workhorse 145 innings pitched. Also off of Ray Tanner’s title crew is 1B Christian Walker, a second team selection, after posting a .358 batting average with 10 home runs and 62 RBIs.

The Reds ultimately prevailed, 7-6. Carter hit a solo home run in the fourth inning, Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit a tying triple in the fifth and Rymer Liriano lifted a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the sixth as part of a middle-inning comeback for the Brewers, who had won four of their previous five games. But the Reds quickly tied the game at 5 in the seventh inning on Jake Cave's two-out single. Duvall, a candidate for Cincinnati's left field vacancy who manned third base in this game, homered to cap the Reds' three-run first inning. Joey Votto also delivered an RBI single in the inning, but all three runs were unearned against Brewers starter Chase Anderson because of an error charged to left fielder Ryan Braun.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, April 1, 2017 * The Boston Globe Ben Taylor makes Red Sox’ Opening Day roster Nick Cafardo WASHINGTON — Rainy days aren’t so bad after all. While the Red Sox-Nationals exhibition game at Nationals Park was postponed Friday, the sound of the rain was like a symphony to Ben Taylor. The hard-throwing youngster who impressed with his poise and stuff throughout spring training will be the 12th pitcher on the staff when the Red Sox open against the Pirates Monday in Boston. Taylor, 24, made it because Tyler Thornburg, Drew Pomeranz, and David Price are starting the season on the disabled list. The Red Sox could have gone with a more seasoned pitcher such as Noe Ramirez, but the brass huddled during the rain delay and made the call. Taylor made the team as a nonroster invitee, which is rare. “I was very surprised,” said Taylor. “I came into camp not really expecting to make the team, but all the pieces fell into place. Perfect timing. “I’ve been feeling really good this spring. All my pitches have been working really well. I’m throwing the ball well and it paid off.” Manager John Farrell was impressed by the righthander’s 19 strikeouts over 13 innings, but more important, he said, “It was the poise and mound presence he showed as a young pitcher.” Taylor’s time with the major league team could be short-lived, depending on when Thornburg is ready, but who knows? “The hope is always to make the big league club,” Taylor said.

    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.
