It’s only one start, but Doug Fister had his best outing in a Boston Red Sox uniform Monday night. The Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 6-2 at Fenway Park, and the right-hander was a big reason why. He only allowed two earned runs on five hits through 7 2/3 innings. Furthermore, those two runs came in the eighth inning, as he held the Indians scoreless throughout most of his start. Fister also walked two but had five strikeouts. To hear what Fister had to say about his outing Monday, listen to the video above from “NESN Sports Today,” presented by People’s United Bank. ...

MLB Rumors: Giants Players Not Sold On Possible Pablo Sandoval Reunion
Share this: Pablo Sandoval might soon return to the organization with which he won three World Series titles, but it doesn’t sound like everyone is onboard with a possible reunion. Although Sandoval denied reports that surfaced Wednesday saying he agreed to a minor league contract with the Giants, the former Boston Red Sox third baseman acknowledged that a return to San Francisco is possible. That said, CSN Bay Area’s Alex Pavlovic reported Wednesday that several Giants players and employees aren’t exactly ready to welcome Kung Fu Panda back with open arms. “For two days over the weekend, I chatted with players and team employees about the possibility of Sandoval returning,” Pavlovic wrote. “I didn’t find one who was eager for the move.” The Giants obviously
Red Sox Notes: Drew Pomeranz Has Become Reliable Weapon During Impressive Streak
Share this: What first was a pleasant surprise has quietly become the expected for the Boston Red Sox. Drew Pomeranz, who once was thought to be the weak link in the Red Sox’s starting rotation, turned in another rock-solid start in Wednesday’s 5-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. The Red Sox left-hander now has delivered nine quality starts in his last 11 outings. Pomeranz is 7-1 in those starts with a 2.57 ERA, and the Red Sox have accumulated a 9-2 record in his starts since he lasted only four innings against the Oakland Athletics on May 20. And Wednesday was no different. While Pomeranz didn’t have his best stuff, the lefty was able to work around five walks and get
Watch Red Sox’s Mookie Betts Blast Mammoth Home Run Against Yankees
Share this: After 24 consecutive scoreless frames, the Boston Red Sox finally broke through in the third inning on Sunday night against the New York Yankees. The Red Sox and Yankees were locked in a scoreless tie in Game 2 of their Sunday doubleheader when Mookie Betts stepped to the plate with a runner on first against Masahiro Tanaka. And the Red Sox All-Star right fielder absolutely crushed a 1-1 fastball over the Green Monster to put the Sox up 2-0. The home run was Betts’ 17th of the year. It had been a long 48 hours for the Red Sox’s offense, but Betts’ monster shot should inject some life into Boston’s bats.

Red Sox Have Perfect Tweet After Jackie Bradley Jr. Robs Aaron Judge Of Homer
New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge thought he had hit his 31st home run of the season during the eighth inning of Sunday’s game against the Boston Red Sox. Jackie Bradley Jr. had other plans. After Judge laced a deep fly ball ticketed for the deepest part of Fenway Park, Bradley leaped over the wall and made a stellar catch to preserve the Red Sox’s shutout in their 3-0 win over the Yankees. And given the intense rivalry between the two ballclubs, it comes as no surprise that the Sox took a jab at their American League East foe with an awesome tweet after the game. Judge arguably is the front runner
