Red Sox Vs. Mariners Lineup: Eduardo Rodriguez Takes Mound Vs. Seattle
Share this: The Red Sox are headed to the land of Starbucks, and Boston fans might need some extra coffee to stay up for another West Coast game.

The left-hander was able to cruise from there, too, holding the potent Orioles offense to two runs in the 6-2 win. And, oh yeah, Betts hit a third home run for good measure.

Red Sox Notes: Mookie Betts Breaks Out; Eduardo Rodriguez Makes Rehab Strides
BOSTON — With the way Jackie Bradley Jr. and Xander Bogaerts have been hitting, it’s easy to forget about Mookie Betts sometimes. But it was impossible to ignore the Red Sox right fielder Saturday at Fenway Park. That’s because Betts was a one-man wrecking crew against the Cleveland Indians, going 3-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and a career-high five RBIs to carry Boston’s offense in a 9-1 blowout win. All three of his hits went for extra bases: A rocket double off the Green Monster in the third inning, a solo homer in the fourth and a grand slam to top it all off in the seventh. “He’s got such lightning bat
