Bradley stars in Boston win

Bradley is 13 for 22 with 13 RBIs in his last five games and David Ortiz is 14 for 22 with 10 RBIS in his past six. I don’t know what to say. “As it turns out, it looks like that should have been the move”. Nuno threw the ball well last time out in a 3-2 loss to Baltimore with two runs scored on five hits in five innings of work.

Salvador Perez homered and doubled in a six-run second inning while Johnny Cueto pitched eight impressive innings as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Los Angeles Angels. “I know it’s hard for people to understand what’s going on”. Wade Miley (9-9) went seven innings for the Red Sox. Brock Holt also had three hits.

By the time the night ended, they were on the short end of a 15-1 rout at the hands of the Boston Red Sox, who learned before the game that manager John Farrell will miss the rest of the season for treatment of lymphoma. Rookie Henry Owens takes the mound for the third start of his career when he faces the Mariners.

Ranking 18th, Seattle is in the bottom half of the league for its on-base plus slugging percentage (.704). Hernandez was tagged for a career high-tying 10 runs in just 21/3 innings as Boston became the first team to get at least 15 runs and 21 hits in consecutive games since the Red Sox did it in 1950.

4 runs, 4 hits, 0 errors, 1 left on.

Rob Rasmussen (2-1) worked two scoreless innings.

Nelson Cruz hit his major league-leading 35th homer and drove in three runs for the Mariners. Austin Jackson also had a two-run homer (seventh of season) in the eighth, cutting Boston’s lead to 19-6. Logan Morrison then put down a sacrifice bunt. With the infield in, Zunino then lined a single over the head of shortstop Bogaerts.

Red Sox seventh. Rutledge singled to right. But all the strikeouts in the world do little to cover up two hanging changeups in the first inning that were blasted for back-to-back homers by Robinson Cano and Franklin Gutierrez deep into the stands. 421 with a home run, two doubles and two triples in the last week, it wasn’t long ago that the outfielder was an afterthought stashed in Triple-A as writers speculated whether or not a change of scenery was in due order.

At points, it appeared as if the Red Sox would complete a task for the first time all season – win when trailing after 8 innings.

Bogaerts homered over the Green Monster in the third, and Castillo had a leadoff drive in the fourth.

-LHP James Paxton (strained left middle finger) went on the 15-day disabled list May 29.

“A lot of moving parts there”, said Lovullo.

The Red Sox return to action on Sunday in hopes of sweeping the Mariners.

An interesting thing to note is Pablo Sandoval exited the game after three innings, due to a bruised right elbow. Boston LF Hanley Ramirez (left foot contusion) is progressing but still feels discomfort, Lovullo said…. They will play out this season knowing their manager is facing something much more significant than any baseball game.

“I was trying”, he said.

The Mariners hit three home runs in their three-game series versus the Orioles earlier this week (won the series, 2-1).
