Red Sox’s Struggles In One-Run Games A Cause For Concern, But Not Panic

Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox have a very good team this season, as their perch atop the American League East can attest. But Boston’s 2016 squad appears to have an Achilles’ heel, and that weakness was exposed again Wednesday night. Rick Porcello and the Red Sox lost a 1-0 pitchers’ duel to Kevin Gausman and the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park, losing a three-game series that started with a convincing 12-2 win. Indeed, as much as Boston is capable of blowout wins, it’s also prone to tight losses. The Sox now have lost seven consecutive one-run games dating to Aug. 24 and are 16-22 in one-run games this season, the fourth-lowest winning percentage in such games in the entire AL. So, why can’t the Red Sox

Red Sox Notes: Boston’s Struggles In Close Games A Cause For Concern

Share this: BOSTON — The mark of any good baseball team is its ability to win all different types of games, from close contests to blowouts. The Red Sox have done just fine this season in the latter category. The former? Not as much. Boston lost another close one to the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park on Tuesday, rallying on two separate occasions before falling to a 9-8 loss. After this defeat and the team’s 4-2 loss to the Tigers on Monday, the Red Sox’s last five losses have been by two runs or fewer. “We play the game and the situation that’s in front of us,” manager John Farrell said after the game. “Sometimes it doesn’t work in our favor. Sometimes you find yourself in a

John Farrell: Red Sox Got ‘A Good Win’ In Close Decision Vs. Mariners

Now that’s how you win a close game. David Price tossed eight strong innings of one-run ball, Mookie Betts hit a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning, and Craig Kimbrel shut the door in the ninth to earn Boston a 2-1 win, it’s 39th of the season. Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell was asked how important it was to win a close game like that during his postgame news conference, as seen on NESN’s “Red Sox Final.” Check out his answer in the video above.

Bruins’ Defense Stepping Up As NHL Playoff Race Draws To A Close

BOSTON — The Bruins don’t control their own destiny in the race for the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. That said, the B’s will give themselves a great chance to qualify if they bring the same defensive performance to Saturday’s regular-season finale that we saw in the last two games. The Bruins gave the Red Wings very little in Thursday night’s 5-2 win at TD Garden. Boston gave up just 15 shots on goal, tying a season low previously set March 29 at New Jersey. Perhaps most impressive was Detroit’s five shot attempts at even strength in the third period, which shows how well Boston clamped down defensively while protecting a

Alex, Kocić, Zhamankulov close on Ricardinho

Ricardinho still leads the race to win the adidas Golden Shoe for top scorer at UEFA Futsal EURO 2016, but is only one goal clear of three players who all have a chance to add to their totals on Saturday.The Portugal winger scored six goals in Portugal's three matches before their quarter-final exit. However, after Thursday's semi-finals, Spain's Alex, Serbia's Mladen Kocić and Kazakhstan's Serik Zhamankulov have all moved on to five, and could further add in the third-place play-off or final.Of those on four, Spain duo Miguelín and Mario Rivillos are to reckoned with due to their high number of assists, the first tie-breaker after goals. However, 2014 top scorer Eder Lima...

Juventus into last four, Barcelona close on semis

WEDNESDAYAthletic Club 1-2 Barcelona (Aduriz 89; Munir 18, Neymar 25)Holders Barça are well placed to reach the Copa del Rey semi-finals, though they are not quite as comfortable as they might have been due to Aritz Aduriz's late effort for Athletic in the opening instalment of this last-eight tie. Munir El Haddadi and Neymar – with his 20th club goal in 25 appearances this season – gave the visitors a two-goal cushion inside 25 minutes. However, Aduriz, joint-leading scorer in the UEFA Europa League group stage, gave Athletic, who go to the Camp Nou next week, hope at the death.Celta Vigo 0-0 Atlético Madrid...
