Game recap: Mariners 10, Red Sox 8 (12 innings)
“I can honestly tell you I’m extremely fortunate that it was found. Treatment will begin in the coming days”, he said. “What do you want me to say?” manager Lloyd McClendon said. I mean, that’s the most important thing. “Once it’s two strikes, it’s just, “Get the bat on the ball” and hope for the best”. His force, his presence in our lineup and his ability to change the game with one swing is really impressive. Two changeups earlier in the count were mashed for back-to-back home runs by Robinson Cano and Franklin Gutierrez (a mammoth 447-foot shot to dead center) in the third inning.
Owens admitted that he might have erred by trying to elevate the pitches in an attempt to get strikeouts.
Cherington said Farrell told him the news Thursday when the GM was traveling between flights en route to Greenville, South Carolina, to visit one of the team’s Single-A affiliates. The company he shares suggests the good in a start like Sunday’s outweighs the bad: It includes Vida Blue, David Cone, Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, CC Sabathia, Carlos Carrasco and Noah Syndergaard.
The A’s took an early 3-0 lead and the Orioles used two homers to tie it before Davis’s walk-off homer.
The 22 runs and 26 hits were the most ever allowed by the Mariners. “He’s hearing from a lot of people, as you’d expect”, he said.
Recently, the entire White Sox team underwent routine tests for skin cancer. “It’s going to be a constant learning process”, said Owens. “I don’t try to do too much more”.
“I think everybody’s entitled to have an off day”. Nor can they hide that same pair abusing him for another four runs in the third, with Gutierrez nabbing his second long ball off the lefty.
That rookie starter Henry Owens was able to recover from a rough start and go six innings was part of the comeback equation for the Red Sox. Rusney Castillo also homered. The Sox rolled to two blowout wins in which they totaled 37 runs on 47 hits. Castillo is hitting. 279 (38-for-136) with four home runs and 18 RBIs in 43 games.
Hernandez beaned Sandoval on the right elbow on the first pitch of his at-bat in the third inning. He’s the youngest MLB player in the last century to finish with at least five extra-base hits, per Red Sox manager of media relations and baseball information Jon Shestakofsky.
Twins 4, Indians 1: Tyler Duffey took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning of his second big league game and pitched Minnesota past Cleveland. OF Hanley Ramirez missed his sixth straight game with a bruised left foot. “It’s getting close and we feel comfortable saying that his return could be close”, said Red Sox manager Torey Lovullo. The series sweep was Seattle’s first all-time in a series of three or more games at Fenway Park. 262 (97-for-370) with 19 homers and 53 RBIs in 97 games.
The brought in Danny Farquhar, who threw 35 pitches Saturday over 2 2/3 innings.
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.
