Red Sox to call up top prospect Benintendi

The Mariners will look to bounce back from a tough series opener loss on Tuesday night back at it again at Safeco against these Boston Red Sox. Getting closer Craig Kimbrel out there to secure the victory was something new. His line included giving up 1 run on 1 hit (earned) in 0.2 innings of work.

Benintendi was the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year in 2015 as a sophomore at the University of Arizona, hitting.376 with a nation-leading 20 home runs.

“We’ve had a lot of discussions”, Dombrowski said. Some have Norman rarely was a howitzer about the way you were a pitch tonight PA pitched very many kept us in the game there for the whole game and you know got got a little trouble. “You’re starting to see that more and more now”.

Cishek fell to 2-6.

ESPN’s Keith Law ranked Benintendi as the No. 3 overall prospect in his midseason update released on July 14, behind Houston’s Alex Bregman and Washington’s Lucas Giolito. But he gave up the tying homer by 3B Aaron Hill with one out in the eighth. The Red Sox have scored 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last 11 games.

Matt Barnes relieved Price and struck out Seth Smith. “That’s kind of been the theme”.

There will be adjustments to be made in almost every facet of the game, from the velocity of opposing pitchers to the improved command he’ll face when compared to young, inexperienced arms in the minor leagues. Boston and Toronto are now tied for second place in the division and for the first wild-card spot.

Paxton retired the first seven batters before catcher Sandy Leon gave Boston its first hit with a one-out single in the third. After Nelson Cruz walked, Dae-Ho Lee doubled to center field to score Cano with the game’s first run.

Rodriguez helped himself with a nifty defensive play in the third, when he turned near disaster into an inning-ending double play.

Ross’ first pitch, a 75-mph curve, nicked Seager on the arm, which loaded the bases for Franklin Gutierrez. The Seattle Mariners offense has also been inconsistent, and they’ve won five of their last six games when scoring more than three runs.

Betts delivered the biggest blow Monday with the solo shot to lead off the ninth.

Red Sox manager John Farrell said Abad, “had such good success against Cano”.

As for the trade deadline the Red Sox did make a move, nothing splashy like trading for White Sox ace Chris Sale, but Dave Dombrowski did improve the bullpen depth by trading for Fernando Abad of the Minnesota Twins. Benintendi will skip Triple-A Pawtucket outright and join Boston in Seattle. Verlander struggled in his two starts that year but went 17-9 with a 3.63 ERA in his rookie season in 2006. LHP Ariel Miranda, a Cuban defector acquired in a trade with Baltimore on Sunday, will make his debut Thursday against Boston.

In 2016, the Red Sox assigned Benintendi to their highest-level single-A affiliate, the Salem Red Sox of the Carolina League, where he continued his rapid development after a slow start to the season. The Mariners claimed INF Michael Freeman off waivers from Arizona and assigned him to Triple-A Tacoma. To make room on the 40-man roster, Seattle designated OF Patrick Kivlehan for assignment.
