Wade Miley: Miley surrenders 13 hits, five runs vs. Sox
Abreu is 15-for-32 (.469 BA) with three homers and nine RBI during his current eight-game hitting streak vs. the Red Sox. Red Sox 3, White Sox 1.
The Chicago White Sox have slowly faded out of the postseason conversation with the arms and bats unable to get on the same page often enough.
“Couldn’t quite get there”, Miley said. He doubled, the ball getting past Hanley and scoring two runs, a 5-4 lead, which was the final.
And, Sanchez was easily thrown out heading to third on Gordon Beckham’s single in the eighth.
With a chance to escape, Miley missed location with a fastball and Trayce Thompson lined it to left field.
Castillo’s career night ironically comes at the one-year anniversary of his signing with the Red Sox back on 8/24/14. The next batter was Mookie Betts and he hit a double. On Hanigan’s passed ball, Me.Cabrera to second. Red Sox 4, White Sox 2.
Ramirez was not available for comment after the game. It compliments his defense well as he is regarded as the best defensive outfielder in the game. It came too late to help Miley.
Cubs 8, Giants 1: Jake Arrieta allowed one unearned run and four hits in six innings as the Cubs built up a big lead against their nearest wild-card pursuer in San Francisco.
Dombrowski’s teams have reached the World Series three times, and one of the common threads in all three is he had an ace atop his starting rotations.
“He got me today”, Samardzija said.
Lovullo has pushed his starters into the seventh inning or beyond in six of the 12 games he has managed, in part because of a weak bullpen. 247 this season. Those 110 plate appearances still leave him at just.
The White Sox ended the road trip winning three out of their last four. But Sanchez was retired to keep the 4-2 Red Sox lead. “The only silver lining in all of this is that we scored 10 runs, the offense came alive and kept battling, and there were no injuries”. “It was an impressive play”, Lovullo said.
Tune in to Inside Baseball every Monday night on the WBZ-TV news at 10 on myTV38! Abreu grounded out to first baseman T.Shaw, Eaton to third.
“He’s just more in tune with himself, a lot more clarity”, Steverson said. “I can’t worry about the future until it gets here”.
Another benefit of the Red Sox’ reconfigured hierarchy could be some long-awaited clarity on who exactly is responsible for making personnel decisions on Yawkey Way, where Dombrowski suggested during his introductory press conference that everything will ultimately go through him, even after a GM is hired. In all, the Sox struck out 11 times and didn’t draw a walk. His sixth-inning double to the right-center field gap drove in two runs and extended Boston’s lead to 5-1.
Hernandez beaned Sandoval on the right elbow on the first pitch of his at-bat in the third inning. Betts to third. On Al.Ramirez’s error, Betts scored.
Could the Red Sox have a completely home grown outfield next year?
