Ravens’ John Harbaugh Defends Orioles In Growing Rivalry With Red Sox
Share this: John Harbaugh never has been one to shy away from criticizing Boston sports teams, and the Baltimore Ravens head coach unsurprisingly backed the Baltimore Orioles in their ongoing feud with the Boston Red Sox. Harbaugh brought up the growing rivalry between American League East foes at his media session Saturday, and came to the defense of Orioles starter Kevin Gausman, who was ejected during Wednesday’s game for hitting Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts with a curveball. “It was a curveball. It was a curveball,” Harbaugh said, per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. “It didn’t break.” The pitch that Gausman threw registered at 77 mph, which led Harbaugh to scoff at the need for an ejection. “That’s a love tap,” Harbaugh said.

Red Sox Notes: Eduardo Rodriguez’s Outing Squandered In Loss To Twins
Share this: Boston Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez wasn’t brilliant against the Minnesota Twins, but the left-hander put his team in a good position to pick up the win. The left-hander hurled six innings Friday night at Target Field, giving up only three runs on seven hits with six strikeouts. Unfortunately for Rodriguez, the Red Sox only mustered up one run off Twins starter Phil Hughes, who entered Friday’s contest with a 5.06 ERA. Boston would mount a comeback to tie the ballgame in the ninth inning, but Joe Mauer’s walk-off blast lifted Minnesota to a 4-3 win.

Watch Chris Sale Throw Behind Manny Machado In First Inning Of Red Sox-Orioles G…
Share this: It appears the bad blood between the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles isn’t going anywhere. After Orioles starter Dylan Bundy drilled Mookie Betts during Monday night’s game at Fenway Park, Red Sox ace Chris Sale appeared to send a message during the first inning of Tuesday night’s game. Manny Machado stepped to the plate, and Sale sent a 98-mph fastball sailing behind the Orioles third baseman. Umpires immediately issued warnings to both benches, and Sale eventually struck out Machado to end the inning. The feud began April 21 when Machado injured Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia with a spikes-high slide at Camden Yards. Two days later, Red Sox reliever Matt Barnes threw a fastball near Machado’s head and was ejected from the
