Red Sox Notes: Short Outings Becoming Common Occurrence For Drew Pomeranz
Share this: The hope for a starting pitcher is to go deep into a ballgame and put your team in good position to win. Unfortunately for the Boston Red Sox, Drew Pomeranz hasn’t able to do that very often in the 2017 season. Pomeranz struggled through another short outing Friday night in the Red Sox’s 8-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park. The left-hander only lasted 4 1/3 innings, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits with two walks. Since Boston traded for Pomeranz at the MLB All-Star break last season, the 28-year-old hasn’t been much of an innings eater. The lefty employs a rather slow pace on the mound and often tries to dance around the strike zone with off-speed pitches
Red Sox Wrap: Boston Obliterates Tigers’ Bullpen In 11-3 Win At Fenway Park
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
Mitch Moreland Praises Red Sox For Grinding Out At-Bats In Friday’s Win

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.

Red Sox Notes: David Price Says Media Comments Didn’t Impact Outing Vs. Yankees
Share this: All eyes were on David Price when he took the mound Thursday night to face the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. The Boston Red Sox starter made headlines Wednesday, lashing out at the local media and announcing he’d only speak on days he pitched. And in Price’s first outing since his comments, he didn’t pitch very well. The left-hander struggled through five innings, allowing six runs on eight hits with four walks in Boston’s 9-1 loss to the Yankees. Price didn’t have his best stuff by any means Thursday night, but he insists Wednesday’s incident had nothing to do with it. “Absolutely not,” Price said when asked if there was a lingering impact, as seen on NESN’s Red Sox postgame coverage. “It was
Yankees Troll Red Sox With Clever Tweet After Pair Of Convincing Wins
Share this: The New York Yankees took it to the Boston Red Sox in the final two games of their three-game series, and they decided to poke fun at their American League East rival afterward. After the Red Sox took the series opener 5-4 on Tuesday, the Yankees throttled Boston in the next two contests by a combined score of 17-1, including Thursday’s 9-1 rout. And following the series-clinching win, the Yankees fired off a pretty clever tweet in a well-executed troll effort. The tweet, of course, is a play on the Red Sox’s “Win, Dance, Repeat” slogan following Boston victories. Unfortunately for the Sox, they only got to show off their dance moves one time in their first trip to Yankee Stadium this season. Boston
