* Text Features The Boston Red Sox Friday, May 21, 2021 * The Boston Globe J.D. Martinez’s last-ups blast highlights rally of the Red Sox season, beating Jays Peter Abraham DUNEDIN, Fla. — J.D. Martinez was perhaps another choice word or two from being ejected in the seventh inning, when he argued with umpire Mark Wegner following a called third strike on a close pitch. Martinez, who rarely bickers with the umps, returned to the dugout hoping he would get another chance. It came in the ninth inning with the game on the line, and he belted a two-out, two-run homer to lift the Red Sox to an 8-7 victory against the Toronto Blue Jays. Martinez didn’t miss his pitch, sending a hanging slider from Rafael Dolis deep into the Florida night. It was his 12th home run of the season and the 250th of his career. “I was just trying to go up there and hit it hard,” Martinez said. “It was a big win.” Martinez, who was released by the Astros in 2014, said he never imagined he’d hit 250 homers. The first-place Sox (27-18) took two of three from the Blue Jays and have won five of seven overall. It was their 17th comeback victory. Matt Barnes closed the Jays out for his 10th save in 11 chances. He struck out three, working around a two- out walk with an overpowering fastball as the Sox-centric crowd of 1,562 celebrated. “What an amazing win. What a great game. What a big-league ‘W,’” manager Alex Cora said. Dolis inherited a 7-5 lead. Bobby Dalbec and Michael Chavis started the inning with singles. Barnes immediately started throwing in the bullpen, knowing the game could change quickly in the small, wind- blown spring training ballpark where the Jays have been playing their home games. A wild pitch moved them up and Dalbec scored when Alex Verdugo grounded to first base for the second out. Martinez took a low slider for a strike, then hammered the next to right center. “Even on nights when he quote unquote struggles, he’s one at-bat away from changing the game,” Cora said. It was the first Red Sox go-ahead home run with two outs in the ninth inning of a road game since Sept. 2, 2018, when Brandon Phillips hit his only home run with the club to beat the Atlanta Braves. All eight runs by the Sox scored with two outs. Toronto pitchers had retired 10 in a row before the ninth. Trailing 2-0, the Sox made two quick outs in the top of the second inning. Christian Vázquez was nearly the third, but he fouled off a two-strike pitch before dropping a single into right field. It was the first of seven consecutive hits, as the Sox scored five runs against Steven Matz. After Vázquez singled, Hunter Renfroe singled to center. Dalbec then launched a curveball to right field that got caught in the wind, but hit the foul pole for a home run. Chavis kept the inning going with a double to the gap in right. Kiké Hernández singled into left field, the ball deflecting off the glove of shortstop Marcus Semien just enough for Chavis to score. Singles by Verdugo and Martinez drove in Hernández. Four of the seven hits in the inning came with two strikes. But the Sox did not score again off Matz, who went six innings and threw only 45 more pitches. And Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta, who has been strong all season, could not hold the 5-2 lead. Up 5-3, Pivetta walked Semien to start the fifth inning. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled with one out, chopping a single into right field against a shift as Semien took third. Teoscar Hernández followed with a slowly hit ball to third base that popped out of Rafael Devers’ glove for an error and Semien scored. Cavan Biggio then grounded a single to center to drive in Guerrero with the tying run. With Pivetta at 95 pitches, the Sox tried Hirokazu Sawamura in the sixth inning. He had not pitched in eight days, and it showed. Danny Jansen ripped a low fastball to the gap in right. Renfroe misplayed the ball and Jansen ended up on third. Jonathan Davis followed with a single to left to give the Jays the lead. With two outs and runners on first and second, Hernández hit a sharp grounder up the middle that Bogaerts dove to stop and flipped to second. But Chavis dropped the ball for another error, and it proved costly when Randal Grichuk singled to drive in Davis. That gave the Jays a 7-5 lead. The Sox weren’t sharp on the mound or defensively. But they overcame it. “It was a huge team win. It was massive,” Pivetta said. ‘Take three strikes if we have the lead’: Little expected when Red Sox pitchers grab the bats this weekend Peter Abraham DUNEDIN, Fla. — The Red Sox start a three-game interleague series at Philadelphia on Friday, which means they won’t have a designated hitter. The three pitchers lined up to start — Martín Pérez, Nate Eovaldi, and Eduardo Rodriguez — dutifully took batting practice and went half speed through base-running drills the last few days. “Absolutely awful,” manager Alex Cora said Thursday, followed by a little smile. Cora’s hope is for a pitcher to get a bunt down if needed, but otherwise to avoid injury. Every manager’s fear is a muscle strain of some kind that leads to a stint on the injured list. “Take three strikes if we have the lead and keep moving forward,” Cora said. Baseball had a universal DH last season as a safety measure, with players having little time to prepare for a shortened season, but Major League Baseball and the Players Association couldn’t come to an agreement on making it permanent. It’s a subject that will be addressed again in the negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement. At a time when the game needs more offense, pitchers were hitting .106 with a .281 OPS through Wednesday, with strikeouts in 47 percent of their plate appearances. Cora, who came up as a player in the National League, is among the managers who would prefer the universal DH. “I didn’t mind it last year, to be honest with you, as a baseball fan,” he said. “Going into these games, it’s difficult. Right now this is where we’re at . it will be good for baseball in general to have one more hitter.” Perez is 1 for 23 in his career with 19 strikeouts, and Rodriguez 0 for 20 with 10 strikeouts. Eovaldi is Ted Williams by comparison, going 12 of 151 (.079) with two RBIs. David Price is the last Red Sox pitcher to collect a hit, an RBI single off Arizona’s Luke Weaver on April 6, 2019. Rodriguez has hit a few home runs in batting practice and fancies himself as quite a hitter, referencing long-ago softball exploits in Venezuela. Cora laughed when asked if he thought Rodriguez would collect that elusive first hit. “Not at all. Nada. No confidence,” he said. Cora does not allow players to wear earrings on the field, but granted an exception for Rodriguez to wear a dangling cross like Barry Bonds did during his career. “I’m going to give him a chance to do that, to see if he can get a hit,” Cora said. “But the chances are very slim.” Xander Bogaerts doesn’t like Rodriguez’s chances against Phillies starter Zach Wheeler, who has allowed only 7.0 hits per nine innings. “It’s looking a little dark,” Bogaerts said. “He’s my boy and all; I would be really happy if he gets one. But I would also be really surprised. “Wheeler’s a pretty good pitcher with a lot of velocity and Eddie’s bat speed is kind of not too fast. I would say he has a 1 percent chance, just because he has pop. “Listen, man. If he swings at the right time, at the right moment, at the right pitch, he can hit it far. But he needs a lot of things to go in his favor.” Bogaerts said he would “100 percent” be a better pitcher than Rodriguez is a hitter. Starting back up Triple A righthanders Tanner Houck and Connor Seabold have started post-injury throwing programs. Houck hasn’t pitched since May 4 because of a flexor muscle strain. Seabold has yet to pitch this season because of elbow inflammation. “They’re feeling good,” Cora said. Houck has started two games for the Sox this season. Seabold has not appeared in a game since 2019, but the Sox believe he could be a depth option. The Sox are getting more testing done on Triple A righthander Eduard Bazardo, who strained a lat muscle on Tuesday. He has pitched twice in the majors this season. On the way? Danny Santana was not in the Worcester lineup on Thursday and is likely to be promoted on Friday. The veteran utility man was signed to a minor league contract in March and played eight games in the minors after recovering from injuries. There are some moving parts to complete the transaction, as the Sox would need to open a spot on the 40-man roster as well . ESPN picked up the Sunday, June 6, game against the Yankees in the Bronx, which will move it from 1:05 p.m.

  • Cincinnati Reds' Eugenio Suarez Celebrates After Hitting a Solo Home Run Off San Diego Padres Relief Pitcher Brad Hand in the Seventh Inning Thursday, Aug
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings August 24, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1990-The Reds release Ken Griffey, Sr. MLB.COM 'Tokki 2' belts 33rd homer as Reds fall to Cubs By Mark Sheldon and Andrew Call / MLB.com | 12:05 AM ET + 196 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- The Cubs are playing the right teams at the right time to enable them to pull away in the National League Central division race. A 9-3 victory over the Reds on Wednesday night -- aided by a three-run first inning and five-run fourth -- was their fifth win in a row. "Collectively, we were all going through a down period [in the first half of the season]," infielder Tommy La Stella said. "The talent has always been there. It's starting to turn for us right now, and turn at the right time." With the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Giants, the Cubs opened a season-high 3 1/2-game lead in the division. In the midst of playing 13 straight games against last-place teams -- the Blue Jays, Reds and Phillies -- Chicago has won seven of the first nine games. For the season series, the Cubs have also won 10 of 15 games vs. the Reds. "You can struggle in the second half or you can learn from your mistakes and get better," winning pitcher Mike Montgomery said after the Cubs moved 11 games over .500 for the first time this season. "Now it's all about getting into the playoffs. We're completely over last year." Reds starter Asher Wojciechowski had a wobbly outing from the get-go as he faced eight batters -- and walked three -- in a 35-pitch first inning and allowed three runs.

    The Boston Red Sox Monday, August 21, 2017 * The Boston Globe The pick here is Andrew Benintendi over Aaron Judge Dan Shaughnessy Aaron Judge vs. Andrew Benintendi. Forget 2017 American League Rookie of the Year. I’m asking . which guy would you rather have on your team for the next 15 seasons? We love these Yankee-Red Sox mano-a-manos. It’s as old as the rivalry itself. Joe DiMagggio came to the bigs in 1936. Ted Williams burst on the scene three years later. Throughout the 1940s, it was a raging argument. We were even led to believe that the respective owners of the Sox and Yankees once made a late-night swap while in a drunken haze. The alleged trade was called off by dawn’s early light. Remember when the Sox had Carlton Fisk and the Yanks had Thurman Munson? New York’s grumpy catcher was a league MVP before his career was tragically cut short when he crashed his plane in 1979. Fisk went on to become a Hall of Famer. Don Mattingly and Wade Boggs were rivals of sorts in the 1980s and who can forget those early years of this new century when Nomar Garciaparra vs. Derek Jeter was a real debate. Now we have Judge and Benintendi. Big Poison and Little Poison. It’s 6 feet 7 inches and 282 pounds vs. 5-10 and 170. It’s not about Rookie of the Year anymore. Even though he is playing as badly as anyone can play at the moment, Judge pretty much retired the rookie trophy with his ridiculous first half.

    The Boston Red Sox Monday, November 5, 2018 * The Boston Globe Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Ian Kinsler win Gold Glove awards Peter Abraham Jackie Bradley Jr. didn’t need a Gold Glove to be recognized as one of the best center fielders in the major leagues. Red Sox fans have known that for several years. But Bradley certainly did deserve one and it finally came his away on Sunday night. Bradley, right fielder Mookie Betts, and second baseman Ian Kinsler were Gold Glove winners. The Red Sox and Atlanta Braves each had three. A finalist in 2014 and ’16, Bradley was selected ahead of Mike Trout (Angels) and Adam Engel (White Sox) in voting done by managers and coaches. Bradley was second among MLB center fielders with an 8.7 ultimate zone rating and tied for the American League lead with eight assists. There’s no statistic for improbable acrobatic catches but Bradley had a series of those. Betts won for the third consecutive year, the first Red Sox player to do that since Dwight Evans won five in a row from 1981-85. Betts is now one of seven Red Sox players to win three or more Gold Gloves. Betts led all right fielders with 20 defensive runs saved. He has 83 DRS the last three seasons.
