Alfred won in 21.93 seconds, while Jefferson-Wooden finished second in 22.03. Now, it is time for Melissa […]

Just hours after tying the franchise record with their 15th straight win in the opener of Wednesday’s day-night doubleheader, the Red Sox returned to the field needing one more victory to stand alone in club history. An announced crowd of 38,005 packed Fenway Park hoping to witness history.
Throughout the Red Sox 15 game winning streak, they leaned heavily on spectacular starting pitching. Unfortunately, they didn’t get that tonight. Eduardo Rivera was given the opening role for the third time over the course of this heater, and this time, the cracks beneath the surface fully materialized in costly fashion. He gave up four […]
The Orioles jumped on Boston’s starter Eduardo Rivera early and used that early offensive explosion to propel them to victory. After Taylor Ward barely missed a leadoff double into the right field corner, Pete Alonso started the rally with a ground rule double over the low wall in right. Gunnar Henderson then worked a four-pitch […]
For the last two months, Aroldis Chapman was expected to be the best reliever traded this summer. Boston’s 15-game win streak has put them in Wild Card position and probably takes him off the market. That coincided with increased chatter about the possibility of a Mason Miller blockbuster for a second straight year. The Padres take […]
It wasn’t a start to the second half that the Mariners could afford to have. After Eduard Bazardo allowed the bottom two hitters of the Reds order to reach in the top of the seventh Wednesday, Sal Stewart punished him with a two-out, three-run homer just over the wall in right field to give Cincinnati […]
The Red Sox have been urged to trade for a $6.7 million veteran catcher, a move that could strengthen Boston's roster as it pushes for a Wild Card berth.

The Red Sox tied the longest winning streak in franchise history Wednesday afternoon, defeating the Orioles, 6-3, in Game 1 of a day-night doubleheader at Fenway Park for their 15th consecutive victory.
BOSTON–What happened? The Orioles had won seven in a row entering their three-game series against the streaking Boston Red Sox, but the excitement about the series was overtaken by the news that their frontline catchers, Samuel Basallo and Adley Rutschman, were placed on the 10-day injured list. Even worse, the Orioles dropped the first two […]

Remember when this was supposed to be a hard-fought series between the two hottest teams in baseball? It sure looks like a one-sided letdown to me. The O’s again failed to quash Boston’s historic winning streak, which tied a franchise-best 14 games in a 6-3 Red Sox victory. Dean Kremer bombed immediately, coughing up four […]
The Boston Red Sox have suddenly turned their season around. Just when it appeared as though they would be sellers at the trade deadline, they flipped a switch and have now won 14 games in a row. Now, they are trending towards buying instead.To improve, they’ll need to add some offense to their mix. The […]

The Red Sox will not be defied by weather or competition. The wins just keep coming. Boston rolled out to a 4-0 lead after the first inning and rode that momentum to a 6-3 victory over the Orioles in the opening game of the doubleheader. Jake Bennett did enough to win and the offense set […]
The last several games have been incredibly disappointing. Not because they lost. Because they haven’t played well in any part of the game. 1-6 in the last seven games. They’ve scored 2.7 runs per game. They’ve allowed 6.7 runs per game. And they have been making errors far too often. It seems like they’ve shut […]
One of the biggest storylines surrounding the Boston Red Sox this season, aside from their absolutely incredible winning streak, which is actually still going, and might extend to 15 games if their score currently holds against the Baltimore Orioles, is the injury to southpaw starter Garrett Crochet, who has not pitched since April. The latest […]

Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet hasn’t pitched since April and it doesn’t appear as though he’ll be back anytime soon.

BOSTON—About 20 minutes before Wednesday’s first game of a doubleheader against the Red Sox, the Orioles placed catcher Samuel Basallo on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Basallo hasn’t played since leaving Sunday’s game with right shoulder discomfort. Sam Huff will catch the first game, and it’s likely Chadwick Tromp will catch the […]
The opener of the three-game series between two streaking teams was a disappointment for the Orioles. Now they’ll get two chances today to redeem themselves. After the Birds’ four-error, one-run loss on Monday snapped their seven-game winning streak — and extended Boston’s to 14 — last night’s rainout has led to a split doubleheader to […]
