Red Sox Put 22 On The Mariners and Hernandez

“Any time the word “cancer” comes up, it stops you in your tracks”, Farrell said, “It certainly did me”. 279 with 16 home runs and 73 RBIs for the San Francisco Giants last season. “We need him back being the guy he’s capable of being”, manager Lloyd McClendon said. Trying to find all of it while on your way to work or sitting at your desk just isn’t easy.

Seattle is already a long shot for the postseason-2.2 percent chance on Baseball Prospectus-and those prospects won’t improve if the team can’t rely on its ace.

The regular skin check came a day after Farrell, a friend of Ventura’s, announced he has a treatable form of lymphoma that was discovered during a hernia treatment. He’s planning on being back for spring training.

The Mariners swept the three-game series versus Boston the last time they faced the Red Sox at Fenway Park (August 22-24, 2014).

The Red Sox were swept in their two-game series at Miami earlier this week, with Boston’s pitching staff allowing 29 hits over the two games.

Jacoby Ellsbury’s RBI single off Aaron Loup in the ninth gave the Yankees a three-run cushion.

Royals 9, Angels 4: Salvador Perez homered to lead off a six-run second inning, and Johnny Cueto won his second consecutive start for Kansas City. They pulled within three at 7-4. He struck out six and walked two. He helped the bottom four spots in the Boston batting order post whopping numbers: 13 for 19 with four walks, 18 runs scored and 13 RBIs. After a pair of sacrifice flies in the fourth and fifth, Boston pulled within two on Bogaerts’ RBI-groundout in the seventh and a wild pitch that allowed third baseman Brock Holt to score.Bogaerts delivered another RBI-groundout with runners on the corners and one away in the ninth to make it 8-7. Designated hitter David Ortiz, who reached on an intentional walk and advanced to second on Castillo’s infield single, tried to score but was thrown out at the plate to force extras.NOTES: Mariners LHP Charlie Furbush (left biceps tendinitis) completed his bullpen session Sunday but did not improve. He’s given up 23 runs in his last four starts. “But he sounded really good”, Francona said.

“It’s not what you want to see”. “Tomorrow, hopefully we have a good outing and win a ballgame”. Vidal Nuno makes his third start of the year since coming out of the bullpen.

Nelson Cruz left Tuesday’s game versus the Orioles with neck spasms, but the Mariners are hoping he can play Friday. “His neck is fine”. But is the one special day to the actor bad luck for the Red Sox? What began as a normal morning for the Virginia native (Bradley Jr. was spotted withdrawing money from a Kenmore Square ATM just a few hours before first pitch), quickly morphed into an afternoon forever cemented in his memory bank. And it involved the abrupt dethroning of ” Seattle Mariners starter “King” Felix Hernandez. Having a couple of those coaches moving into new roles as well could lead to some short-term disorganization, but the Red Sox are confident that they have the right people in place to step in and succeed.
