Ventura supports Farrell, gets skin cancer screening

“He’s a little swollen and we took it out of his hands”, interim Red Sox manager Torey Lovullo said….

With bases loaded, two outs and the Red Sox down by a run, David Ortiz stood on second base as the go-ahead run. “As it turns out, it looks like that should have been the move”. I just tried to not give up more than they scored to get them back out there to hit. As the left-fielder Seth Smith fielded the ball on one hop, Ortiz hadn’t even hit third base yet. He’s done so in four plus seasons as a big league manager, including one that ended with a World Series title for the Red Sox. I just tried to not give up more than they scored to get them back out there to hit. After doubling to center, Blake Swihart took third on a wild pitch by Mariners starter Vidal Nuno before scoring on a sacrifice fly by Josh Rutledge to cut the lead to four.

Despite the overhanging assumption from Red Sox Nation that a lack of consistency would prove to be his downfall at the plate, Bradley Jr. continued to provide his team with valuable offense immediately after the squad landed in Boston, going 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI in the Red Sox’ 15-1 shellacking of the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.

Hernandez (14-7) was tagged for a career high-tying 10 runs in just 21/3 innings.

Franklin Gutierrez hit a pair of two-run homers as Seattle rebounded from an ugly start to the series. Boston scored 22 runs on 26 hits in Saturday’s victory.

Patrick Corbin allowed just three hits and struck out eight over 6-2/3 scoreless innings as the Diamondbacks defeated the Braves.

Nelson Cruz hit his major league-leading 35th homer for the Mariners. Seager then lined a single to right.

Holt’s second RBI double came in the fifth, Sandoval’s second run-scoring double came an inning later and Shaw homered in the eighth.

The Mariners have allowed 15 runs in two straight for the first time since beginning play in 1977. “We’re sending him back to Seattle to see the doctor”, Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said…. “Say some prayers for him and his family, hope everything goes well”, he said before a game in Toronto.

The Boston Red Sox have had a shit year, until very recently.

An interesting thing to note is Pablo Sandoval exited the game after three innings, due to a bruised right elbow.

On the three-year anniversary of his flawless game, Felix Hernandez was anything but ideal on Saturday at Fenway Park. Xander Bogaerts walked in the 11th inning, but David Ortiz broke his bat over his knee in frustration after striking out swinging after a long at bat. “And I think the fit is going to be really special”.

The 52-64 Red Sox will face Cleveland after the game against the Mariners.

Mike Montgomery was no match for the emotionally charged Boston Red Sox. Seattle recalled RHP Danny Farquhar from Triple-A Tacoma.
