Share this: One night after the Boston Red Sox exploded for four runs in the ninth inning in what ultimately was a failed comeback attempt, the Sox couldn’t muster a similar stretch Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. Boston only recorded four hits in Friday’s 3-2 loss at Camden Yards, and it only had one baserunner through five innings. Luckily for the Sox, that baserunner was Pablo Sandoval on a solo home run. But other than that, O’s starter Alec Asher and the Baltimore bullpen mostly stymied the Red Sox’s bats. “Give credit to Asher,” Boston manager John Farrell said, as aired on NESN’s postgame coverage. “… He pitched all four quadrants of the strike zone. He elevated his fastball on guys in our lineup

If you’re familiar with the “Game of Thrones” character Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane, then you can guess that he’s probably one of the largest, strongest men in the world. However, he’s not the strongest man, and he’s not too thrilled about that. Icelandic actor Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is enormous, coming in at 6-foot-9, 416 pounds, and has won Iceland’s Strongest Man every year since 2011 and was crowned Europe’s Strongest man in 2017. However, Björnsson finished just shy of first place in the World’s Strongest Man competition in Botswana on Sunday because of what he believes was a referee mistake.

Red Sox Notes: Drew Pomeranz Bounces Back With One Of Best Starts Of Season
Share this: Drew Pomeranz didn’t just throw his longest outing since last month. He also looked dominant doing it. The Red Sox left-hander struck out 11 Texas Rangers in Boston’s 6-2 win at Fenway Park. He allowed two earned runs on four hits in six innings, which was a positive sign after he failed to pitch more than four innings in his previous three outings. “He threw a good number of cutters today that was really effective, especially against left-handed hitters in particular,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said, as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage. “But on a night where the conditions weren’t ideal, he threw the ball exceptionally tonight. It was a very encouraging start from Drew tonight. That was good to
