Red Sox Assistant GM Mike Hazen Promoted to GM Position

On a 2-1 pitch, Davis lifted the ball deep into right field and on a trajectory into the Red Sox bullpen. Boston 3B Pablo Sandoval was diagnosed with pneumonia and will be re-evaluated Saturday. “It’s a good day for him and it’s a good day for the Boston Red Sox“.

Red Sox: LHP Henry Owens (3-3) is scheduled to start Boston’s home finale.

Craig Breslow allowed only two hits and two walks while striking struck out two in a scoreless four-inning spot start to set the tone in the Boston Red Sox’s 8-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday at Fenway Park. Kiermaier tacked on a solo homer in the seventh to give the Rays a two run cushion.

Longoria’s homer gave him seven seasons with at least 20, joining Eddie Mathews, Chipper Jones and Scott Rolen as the only third basemen to reach the mark in seven of their first eight seasons.

“For me, what it came down to is the experience that he’s had at the major league level, and he’s part of the organization”, he said. “Again, it’s just one of those things I’ll be able to look back at the end of my career and tell my kids about it. I guess just reflect on it when I get a chance to. The names are awesome to be in that group”.

The Boston Red Sox have officially named their new general manager after only after about a week of speculation under their belts, with an unsuccessful search now in the past. Pennington followed with his second double, went to third on a sacrifice and scored on Ben Revere’s single.

“Winning is always on our mind”, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “We’ve said it all year long. When he’s hitting, that’s what shapes our lineup”.

The Sox got out to an early lead, but the Rays rallied late and came away with the win. His ninth 100-RBI season tied Ted Williams for the most such seasons in team history. Manny Ramirez and Jimmie Foxx each had five. Brad Boxberger worked the ninth for his 38th save.

Trailing 2-0, Tampa Bay rallied against Wade Miley (11-11).

Boston moved ahead 2-0 in the first when Ortiz homered into the first row of Monster seats. Asdrubal Cabrera and Steven Souza Jr. had consecutive RBI doubles.

“We are very interested in seeing that happen”, Red Sox interim manager Torey Lovullo said.

Ramirez, who has been on the disabled list with a right shoulder issue, was in the process of transitioning to first base from left field.

Dickey allowed four hits, walked none and struck out two to win for the eighth time in nine decisions. Someone will ask him about his Princeton degree, and he will say “I’m Abington High School”.

“Just decided to make sure that structurally everything is OK”, manager Buck Showalter told MLB’s official website.
