The Boston Red Sox have squandered many opportunities to clinch the American League East, and now their lead has shrunk to two games with two games to play in the regular season. Boston can clinch the division with a win or a loss by the New York Yankees in the next two days, so they still control their own destiny. But their recent play has many people concerned, but not Dustin Pedroia. Following Boston’s 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros on Friday, Pedroia noted how hard it is to win the best division in baseball. But the veteran second baseman stated the team has overcome a lot of adversity this season and they

Red Sox Have Big Shoes To Fill At Second Base With Dustin Pedroia Injured
It’s impossible to overstate just how important Dustin Pedroia is to the Boston Red Sox’s clubhouse, but the team will have to continue on without him for the time being. The Red Sox second baseman, who had just come off the disabled list earlier this week, is headed back to the 10-day DL after playing one game due to more knee issues. And while Eduardo Nunez has been playing well ever since joining the Sox, losing Pedroia for any amount of time certainly isn’t ideal. Pedroia leads the team in batting average and OBP, and he’s also third in RBIs and OPS. Hear more about the impact of losing Pedroia in the video from

Red Sox Vs. Blue Jays Lineup: Andrew Benintendi, Mitch Moreland Sit For Finale
Share this: The Boston Red Sox are coming off another win against the Toronto Blue Jays, and they’re going with a fresh lineup for Thursday afternoon’s game at Fenway Park. The series finale gets going at 1:35 p.m. ET, and a couple of Boston’s regular starters will get a break after Wednesday night’s 5-1 victory.

Red Sox Notes: Dustin Pedroia Does It All In Boston’s Win Over Rangers
Share this: Dustin Pedroia did it all Monday night for the Boston Red Sox, and if you ask his manager, it might have been one of the second baseman’s best games in a Red Sox uniform. Pedroia went 3-for-5 with four RBI in the Red Sox’s 7-5 extra-inning win over the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park, while making multiple key defensive plays behind Boston’s pitching staff. He got his night started with a two-run single in the second inning to give Boston its first lead. Then in the sixth inning, Pedroia came to plate with the game tied and bases loaded with two outs against Rangers reliever Tony Barnette. After a wild pitch scored a run to give Boston the lead, Pedroia
Andrew Benintendi Excited To Deliver Game-Winning Hit For Red Sox
Share this: The Texas Rangers elected to face Andrew Benintendi instead of Dustin Pedroia with the game on the line Monday night, and they paid the price. The Rangers and Boston Red Sox were tied in the 11th inning when Texas intentionally walked Pedroia to face Benintendi with the bases loaded and one out. Benintendi dumped a two-run single over the head of Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus to give the Red Sox a 7-5 victory at Globe Life Park. To hear what Benintendi had to say about the hit, check out the video above from “Red Sox Final,” presented by Plainridge Park Casino.

Red Sox Wrap: Boston Crushes Twins 9-2 In Rainy Night At Fenway Park
Share this: If the Minnesota Twins could have forfeited Tuesday night’s game at Fenway Park early, they might have opted to fight another day. Due to two rain delays, the Twins got into their bullpen in the third inning, and the Boston Red Sox routed them 9-2 in a game that saw Boston take over first place in the American League East. Drew Pomeranz was able to survive the 90-minute delay following the second inning and turned in a strong five-inning start to give the Red Sox’s bullpen a bit of a reprieve. Boston’s offense, meanwhile, crushed the Twins’ pitching staff, tallying nine runs on 10 hits, including home runs by Christian Vazquez and Chris Young. The Red Sox improved to 43-34 with the win,
