Red Sox Wrap: Boston’s Offense Comes Alive Late In 9-6 Win Over Yankees
The Boston Red Sox have been a resilient ball club all season, and that trend continued Friday night against the New York Yankees at Fenway Park. Trailing the Yankees by three in the bottom half of the seventh, the Red Sox rallied for four runs in the inning and tacked on two more in the eighth en route to a 9-6 victory in Game 1 of the weekend series. It was a brief outing for Red Sox starter Drew Pomeranz. The left-hander tossed 3 1/3 scoreless innings before being pulled from the game with back spasms. Boston’s bullpen wasn’t spectacular in relief of Pomeranz, but timely hitting bailed out the lackluster pitching. With

John Farrell praised Devers’ “presence of mind” on the play, and you can check out the Sox manager’s full comments in the “NESN Sports Today” video above, presented by People’s United Bank. ...

Here’s Why Red Sox’s Walk-Off Win Was A Real Bummer For White Sox
There was a little bit of foreshadowing during the Boston Red Sox’s win Friday that perhaps the Chicago White Sox should have noticed. The White Sox had their chances against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, but ultimately, the home team left the field with the 3-2 extra-innings win. Chicago had its first two batters reach base in both the ninth and 11th innings, but some stellar defense by the Red Sox made sure the team didn’t put any runs on the board. That paved the way for Boston first baseman Mitch Moreland to hit a walk-off solo shot in the bottom of the 11th off an aptly named White Sox reliever. We’re
Red Sox’s Rick Porcello Reacts To Allowing Two Home Runs In 14th Loss
Rick Porcello experienced some ups and downs in his surprising start Friday night. Porcello, who took the mound after David Price went on the disabled list, lasted seven innings, but he allowed four earned runs on two home runs in the Boston Red Sox’s 4-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals at Fenway Park. It also was his 14th loss of the season, as he’s struggled to return to his 2016 Cy Young form.
