Bradley 2 HRs, 3 doubles, 7 RBIs, Red Sox rout Seattle 22

He was responsible for 10 runs on 12 hits and a total of three home runs.

“We as a group have been walking around with a heavy heart today”, said Lovullo after Friday’s win.

Brock Holt and Pablo Sandoval each had three RBIs with two doubles.

In his last start, Owens pitched 5.0 innings, allowing one run, striking out two and walking four in a 7-2 victory over the Tigers. What do you want me to say?

But Boston’s coaching staff needed to make a couple of notable decisions late in Sunday’s series finale. Over that span, Boston is averaging 5.4 runs per game, well over their season average of 4.3.

“He called me on a quick layover”, Cherington said. “That’s a awful thing to see”.

Speaking of bright spots, there have definitely been more of them among Boston’s hitters. He said he didn’t despair when he got sent back to the minors.

“He left a lot of balls up in the middle of the plate”, he said. “I know it’s hard for people to understand what’s going on, but from my point of view, there are three or four different areas that I’ve got to run into”. Seattle are 3-10 in the last 13 meetings in Boston.

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.

Cano homered over the bullpens in the first, and Gutierrez followed with a drive about 20 rows deep into the center field bleachers. Let’s look at why “Big Papi” David Ortiz has been the MVP for the Red Sox so far this year. Davis connected on a 2-2 offering from Venditte (0-1), the first ambidextrous pitcher in the majors since 1995. When he met the media Saturday, he had a bandage over his nose and one on his neck.

“I think it’s just an aberration”, McClendon said.

“Your heart just stops”, Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia said (via Boston 7News reporter Alex Corddry) after learning of Farrell’s diagnosis. Miami’s Ichiro Suzuki unofficially passed Ty Cobb when he got his 4,192nd hit. OF Castillo left with a bruised left foot after fouling a ball off it. He said X-rays were negative.

Farrell and Ventura both graduated from Oklahoma State just a few years apart from each other (Farrell left in 1984 after being drafted by the Cleveland Indians while Ventura departed when he was drafted by the White Sox in 1988).

Patrick Corbin allowed just three hits and struck out eight over 6-2/3 scoreless innings as the Diamondbacks defeated the Braves. Cruz’s walk extended his streak of reaching base to 25 games. It’s the organization that originally signed him – in November 1992.

Mariners: LHP Vidal Nuno (0-1) is set to make his third start of the season in the series finale on Sunday.

However, without Ortiz, the potency of the Red Sox lineup would be impacted too greatly, and he has consistently proven his value annually.

With this superb run output, the starting pitching performances of Joe Kelly and Wade Miley are easy to overlook.

Public enemy No. 1 in Nuno’s last start against the Orioles on Monday was Adam Jones, who crushed a solo shot in the first inning to get the scoring started.
