On a night when he got the start because of his defense, Josh Rutledge made the most of his time at the plate. The Boston Red Sox third baseman got the start Saturday night against the Detroit Tigers because he is reliable with the glove, and Pablo Sandoval has struggled with routine plays this season. With Chris Sale on the mound for Boston, it seemed prudent for manager John Farrell to start Rutledge after Sandoval struggled in the field behind lefty Brian Johnson on Friday night.

Share this: It appears the bad blood between the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles isn’t going anywhere. After Orioles starter Dylan Bundy drilled Mookie Betts during Monday night’s game at Fenway Park, Red Sox ace Chris Sale appeared to send a message during the first inning of Tuesday night’s game. Manny Machado stepped to the plate, and Sale sent a 98-mph fastball sailing behind the Orioles third baseman. Umpires immediately issued warnings to both benches, and Sale eventually struck out Machado to end the inning. The feud began April 21 when Machado injured Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia with a spikes-high slide at Camden Yards.
