    AUGUST 8th PAWTUCKET (52-60) at LOUISVILLE (50-61) 7:05 pm Pawtucket Red Sox RHP Chandler Shepherd (6-7, 3.91) vs. Louisville Bats LHP Cody Reed (4-8, 4.06) Late Summer Trip to Kentucky – This week, the Pawtucket Red Sox pay their only visit of the season to the great State of Kentucky when they take on the Louisville Bats in a series that continues tonight at 7:05 p.m. at Louisville Slugger Field. The PawSox usually make their only sojourn to Louisville either early in the season or by mid-season, but in a scheduling rarity they have now landed in Kentucky in August last year and this year. Following Tuesday’s 3-2 Pawtucket win in the opener, the Sox and Bats play tonight and tomorrow night (both at 7:05 p.m.) before Pawtucket moves on to Indianapolis for a 3-game weekend series vs. the Indians on Friday (7:15 pm), Saturday (7:05 pm), and Sunday (1:35 pm) at Victory Field in downtown Indy. Pawtucket — who has lost 9 of their last 11 road games dating back to July 17 — will return to McCoy on Monday for a 7-game homestand from August 13-19 (three vs. Norfolk and four vs. Durham). When Last We Met – Pawtucket took 2 of 3 at home vs. Louisville two months ago when the teams met for the only other time this season from June 5-7 at McCoy Stadium. In the series opener, the Bats scored 3 runs in the top of the 9th to win, 7-4.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, August 10, 2019 * The Boston Globe Red Sox bats sounded off Friday, but the bullpen shone too Nicole Yang Baseball fans in favor of robot umpires may want to bookmark the first inning of Friday night’s Red Sox game. With two outs and a runner on second, starter Brian Johnson appeared to strike out the Angels’ Justin Upton on a 76.8-mile-per-hour curveball to end the inning. Catcher Christian Vazquez tossed the ball to first baseman Mitch Moreland, and the Sox should have been on their way to the dugout with leadoff batter Mookie Betts ready to take the plate. But umpire Mark Ripperger never signaled that Johnson’s pitch was, in fact, a strike. Instead, on a full count, he deemed it a ball. As Upton trotted his way to first, the sellout crowd at Fenway Park showered Ripperger in boos. “It’s a pitch that we thought was a strike, but it wasn’t called there,” manager Alex Cora said. According to the pitch chart provided by MLB, Johnson’s throw was clearly inside the strike zone. Yet the 28-year-old lefty remained on the mound in search of his third out. Up next was first baseman Albert Pujols, who promptly crushed a home run off a billboard above the Green Monster. 3-0, Angels. “It’s baseball,” said Johnson, who was filling in for starter David Price after Price was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. “People make mistakes. Maybe it wasn’t a strike; maybe it was.

    The Boston Red Sox Friday, June 15, 2018 * The Boston Globe David Price has been true to his word, and then some Peter Abraham SEATTLE — When David Price was medically cleared to rejoin the Red Sox rotation in mid-May after a two-day shutdown for wrist pain, he vowed to make every start the rest of the season. Left unsaid, and completely uncertain at the time, was how good Price would be. He had a 5.11 earned run average and was pitching with poor command and low 90s velocity. In the month since, Price has been one of the best pitchers in the majors. He was dominant again on Thursday night as the Sox beat the Seattle Mariners, 2-1. The Red Sox have won the first four games on their 10-game road trip and nine of 12 overall. At 48-22, they are 26 games over .500 for the first time this season. Seattle came into the series having won four straight and 11 of 13 to climb into first place in the American League West. But Price, Joe Kelly, and Craig Kimbrel held the Mariners to six hits before an enthusiastic crowd of 30,475 at Safeco Field. Kimbrel had to earn his 22nd save. He walked leadoff hitter Mitch Haniger and then threw a wild pitch before walking Nelson Cruz. Kimbrel then struck out an overmatched Kyle Seager before Ryon Healy bounced into a double play smartly turned by second baseman Eduardo Nunez. Price continued what has been an impressive run by allowing one run on five hit, all singles, over seven innings.
