David Price’s eyes welled up when asked after the Red Sox’s World Series-clinching game what it means to him to be a good teammate. “A lot,” the left-hander said after gathering himself. And if you think Price’s selflessness as a teammate is being overblown, Nathan Eovaldi likely would be happy to prove you wrong. Eovaldi was tabbed with a heartbreaking loss in Game 3 of the World Series, which saw the right-hander toss 97 pitches over six innings of relief on the heels of two stellar appearances in the first two games of the series. The Red Sox rallied around Eovaldi after the 18-inning loss, but Price went the extra mile to ensure

Red Sox Notes: Alex Cora Gushes Over Nathan Eovaldi’s Gutsy Game 3 Outing
The Boston Red Sox had everything lined up, but things don’t always go as planned. The Red Sox were set to start two of their workhorses in the first two games of the World Series at Dodger Stadium, with Rick Porcello getting the ball in Friday’s Game 3 followed by a Game 4 start Saturday for Nathan Eovaldi, who’s been stellar in the 2018 Major League Baseball playoffs. But thanks to arguably the wildest contest in the history of the Fall Classic, Eovaldi was forced to readjust on the fly, and he managed to do so and then some. Eovaldi was tabbed with the loss in the Red Sox’s 18-inning loss to the

Umpire Joe West Explains Fan Interference Call In Red Sox-Astros ALCS Game 4
Joe West is a man of few words, especially when his judgment is being called into play. The veteran crew chief made a controversial call during Game 4 of the American League Championship Series between the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros on Wednesday night, when he ruled that a fan interfered with Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts’ ability to rob a home run off the bat of Jose Altuve. The home run would have tied the game at two in the first inning, but instead, Altuve was called out and the Red Sox escaped the frame and went on to win 8-6 to take a 3-1 series lead. After the game, West
Alex Bregman Denies Staring Down Joe Kelly After Game 1 Hit-By-Pitch
For a brief moment, it appeared as if the Joe Kelly Fight Club would make a comeback Saturday night at Fenway Park. The Boston Red Sox reliever, who famously sparked a brawl with the New York Yankees by drilling Tyler Austin, inflicted similar pain on Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman by hitting him with a 100-mph fastball in the sixth inning in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series. Bregman seemed to take immediate exception to the beaning, glaring at the mound in what most assumed was a staredown of Kelly. After the game, though, Bregman offered a different narrative of the tense moment, while
