  • The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, April 11, 2018 * the Boston Globe
    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, April 11, 2018 * The Boston Globe Red Sox keep ‘riding the wave’ in ninth straight victory Peter Abraham The Red Sox had the best record in spring training, winning 14 of their last 15 games. But it didn’t matter because it was spring training. Then they got off to the best start in team history, winning eight of their first nine games. But it didn’t matter because it came against the penny-pinching Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins. Now does it matter? A 14-1 victory against the Yankees on Tuesday night certainly suggests there is more going on at Fenway Park than simply fortuitous scheduling. Mookie Betts had four hits, including a grand slam, as the Sox rolled to their ninth consecutive victory before a crowd of 32,357 at Fenway Park. At 9-1, the Sox have the best record in the American League under new manager Alex Cora. The first three hitters in the order — Betts, Andrew Benintendi, and Hanley Ramirez — were 8 of 9 with eight runs scored, nine RBIs, five extra-base hits, and four walks. “It’s definitely super fun to be involved in any win. I just do what I can,” said Betts, who is hitting .432 with a 1.263 OPS. Betts scored five runs, a career high. He is only the seventh player in history to score five or more runs against the Yankees, the first since Luis Castillo of the Mets in 2008. The 14 runs were the most for the Sox against the Yankees since a 14-1 victory on Aug.

  • The Boston Red Sox Sunday, July 15, 2018 * the Boston Globe
    The Boston Red Sox Sunday, July 15, 2018 * The Boston Globe Eduardo Rodriguez injury throws Red Sox trade plans for a loop Nick Cafardo Everyone always thought Eduardo Rodriguez would put it together and be a front-of-the-rotation starter someday. He was really getting close to being there in previous outings and especially Saturday until on a cover play at first base in the sixth inning when Rodriguez sprained his right ankle and had to come out of the game. What a blow to the Red Sox on a day when they took an exhilarating 6-2 10th-inning walkoff win on a Xander Bogaerts grand slam before an electric crowd at Fenway. “I was just talking to [trainer] Brad [Pearson]. It looks bad,” said Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who was referring to the swelling in Rodriguez’s ankle. “He’s walking around, which is encouraging. We have to go through the tests and see what happens. “Today was probably his best one. Throwing strikes, great tempo, pitching to contact and then that happens. We’ll see. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but I felt he was making strides and making great pitches. Hopefully he’ll be OK.” While X-rays were negative, there was more exploration to be done because of Rodriguez’s history with kneecap issues (although they seemed to be resolved by offseason surgery). Sprained ankles aren’t good for any player and it’s especially tough for a pitcher since, in E-Rod’s case, that’s his landing leg.
