Share this: For the second night in a row, the Boston Red Sox tortured the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen. The two teams were tied in the bottom of the seventh Saturday night when Mitch Moreland laced a two-run double over Justin Upton’s head to give Boston the lead. But that was just the beginning of Detroit’s nightmare. All in all, the Red Sox scored eight runs in the final two innings against the Tigers’ bullpen en route to an 11-3 victory at Fenway Park. Moreland (three RBIs) and the Red Sox’s offense backed ace Chris Sale, who tossed seven solid innings and earned the victory against Justin Verlander and the Tigers. The Red Sox improved to 34-27, while the Tigers fell to 29-32. Here’s how it all

Red Sox Notes: Josh Rutledge’s Glove Might Make Him A Regular In Boston’s Lineup
Share this: On a night when he got the start because of his defense, Josh Rutledge made the most of his time at the plate. The Boston Red Sox third baseman got the start Saturday night against the Detroit Tigers because he is reliable with the glove, and Pablo Sandoval has struggled with routine plays this season. With Chris Sale on the mound for Boston, it seemed prudent for manager John Farrell to start Rutledge after Sandoval struggled in the field behind lefty Brian Johnson on Friday night. But while Rutledge did his job in the field during the Red Sox’s 11-3 win at Fenway Park on Saturday, he made his presence known with his bat more than his glove. The 28-year-old infielder reached base

Steve Kerr, Tyronn Lue Both Were Confused By Draymond Green’s Technical Foul
Share this: If you had no idea what was going on when Draymond Green was and then wasn’t ejected from Game 4 of the NBA Finals, you weren’t the only one. Pretty much everyone at Quicken Loans Arena believed the Golden State Warriors forward receieved his second technical foul in the third quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 137-116 win, but officials explained the first tech of the game was assessed to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and not Green. But Green was listed as the recipient of the first-quarter technical on the official scoresheet, leading Cavs coach Tyronn Lue to question the officials during the game. The Cavs weren’t the only ones confused by the non-ejection, though. Even Kerr himself thought the first
Could Zaza Pachulia Be Suspended For Iman Shumpert Groin Shot In Game 4?
Share this: For the second straight NBA Finals, there’s controversy over a member of the Golden State Warriors punching a Cleveland Cavaliers player below the belt in Game 4. One year after Warriors forward Draymond Green was suspended for Game 5 of the 2015-16 NBA Finals for punching LeBron James in the groin, center Zaza Pachulia is in a similar situation after taking a cheap shot at Cavs guard Iman Shumpert. The two got into it late in the third quarter after Shumpert continued to grab at the basketball in Pachulia’s hands that already was called a jump ball. Pachulia’s punch was blatant, but it’s unlikely he’ll receive any significant punishment for it. For starters, both he and Shumpert received technical fouls on
Mitch Moreland Praises Red Sox For Grinding Out At-Bats In Friday’s Win
Share this: It wasn’t easy, but the Boston Red Sox picked up a 5-3 comeback victory over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night at Fenway Park. While Jackie Bradley Jr played the role of hero with his go-ahead home run, Mitch Moreland also had a fine night at the plate for the Red Sox. The first baseman went 3-for-4 with a home run and a double, as well as a game-tying RBI single in the eighth inning. After the game, Moreland praised his teammates for grinding out at-bats and creating opportunities, which helped lead Boston to a victory.
