There wasn’t much to get excited about for the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night in the series finale against the Cleveland Indians. Chris Sale turned in his worst start of the season, as the left-hander was shelled for six runs on seven hits over just three innings of work. Sale wasn’t the only Boston pitcher who struggled, though, as Cleveland collected 18 hits in its 13-6 blowout victory. But the pitching woes weren’t the biggest cause for concern Thursday night. In the seventh inning, Mookie Betts exited the game with a right knee contusion. After the game, Red Sox manager John Farrell provided an update on Betts’ ailment. “It’s a ... NESN.com

Bruins Injuries: Patrice Bergeron Played Season With Sports Hernia
Share this: BOSTON — Tuesday was the Bruins’ break-up day, also known as the day we learn of the gnarly injuries they played through over the course of the season. There were no revelations to the extent of San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton’s knee injury, but a handful of Bruins certainly played hurt at times during the season.

Cavaliers GM David Griffin Expects Kevin Love To Return On Road Trip
Share this: Reinforcements reportedly are on the way for the Cleveland Cavaliers. General manager David Griffin told The Associated Press that the team anticipates star forward Kevin Love will return during the Cavaliers’ road trip that begins Saturday. Love has been out since Feb. 14 when he had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. The defending champion Cavaliers have struggled in Love’s absence. They have gone 7-6 in the 13 games since his injury and have struggled to rebound and defend the paint. The 28-year-old forward is having his best season since joining the Cavaliers before the 2014-15 campaign. He is averaging 20 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, so his presence should be a huge boost to the defending champions. In Love’s absence, the Cavaliers signed

Western Kentucky Gets Tricky, Runs Fake Kneel Down In Boca Raton Bowl
Share this: College football bowl season always is filled with trick plays and wild endings. The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers delivered an innovative play call Tuesday in the Boca Raton Bowl against Memphis. The Hilltoppers were up by 11 with under a minute to play in the first half, so they lined up to take a knee and head to the locker room. At least that’s what Memphis thought. Western Kentucky snapped the ball to quarterback Mike White, who handed it off running back Anthony Wales. Wales waited for a second, playing out the fake before taking off over the left side for a 53-yard gain. Pretty nifty play call by coordinator Bryan Ellis. The ‘Toppers won 51-31.
