We knew Chris Sale’s outing Tuesday night was going to be brief, but not even the left-hander probably thought it would be that brief. Sale tossed just one inning against the Toronto Blue Jays in his return to the mound, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless frame. After the Boston Red Sox’s 7-2 win at Fenway Park, Sale admitted he was a little erratic and rushed things a bit. Still, the southpaw “felt good” in his first appearance since returning from his second disabled list stint of the season. For more from Sale, check out the video above from “NESN Sports Today,”

Red Sox’s 13-7 Loss Vs. Blue Jays ‘Completely On’ Rick Porcello
The Boston Red Sox’s offense did everything it could to extend the club’s winning streak to 11 games Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays, but it wasn’t enough as the Sox ultimately fell 13-7 at Fenway Park. Starter Rick Porcello had a rough night, giving up eight earned runs in two-plus innings while uncharacteristically walking four hitters. The 2016 American League Cy Young Award winner didn’t shy away from blame after the loss, saying the defeat was on his inability to execute and hold a lead. To hear from Porcello, check out the “NESN Sports Today” video above, presented by People’s United Bank.
David Price Looking To Bounce Back In Series Opener Vs. Blue Jays
David Price ended June scorching hot, but the month of July hasn’t been as kind to the Boston Red Sox left-hander. In two July starts, Price has given up 12 earned runs in eight innings. He took the loss in an 11-1 thumping at the hands of the New York Yankees to open the month. The Red Sox’s bats got him off the hook in his last outing against the Kansas City Royals, a game in which Price gave up four runs in 4 2/3 innings and hit three consecutive batters. The lefty will look to bounce back Thursday night when the Red Sox

Red Sox Notes: Bullpen Comes Up Huge In Boston’s Win Over Blue Jays
The Boston Red Sox bullpen has been heavily criticized throughout the season — and sometimes for good reason. But the Red Sox relievers deserve enormous credit for how they performed in Sunday’s 5-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Drew Pomeranz started the game for Boston but exited in the fifth inning after surrendering three runs without recording an out. From that point on, Hector Velazuez, Matt Barnes, Heath Hembree and Joe Kelly combined to shutout the Jays and secure the win. Velazquez was particularly important, as the righty minimized the damage in the fifth and wound up throwing two scoreless innings. “You’ve got to give cred... NESN.com
Red Sox Starter David Price Felt Good In Saturday’s Outing Vs. Blue Jays
David Price looked sharp in his return to the mound. After getting scratched from his start Wednesday to undergo testing on his hand (which revealed a mild case of carpal tunnel), Price returned to pitch Saturday in the Boston Red Sox’s 5-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. In the start, the lefty struck out six while allowing two runs on five hits with three walks over 5 1/3 innings. After the game, Price indicated that he felt good and kept getting better as he continued throwing. To hear from Price, check out the “NESN Sports Today” video above, presented by People’s United Bank.
