Chris Sale Downplays Errors In Red Sox Series-Opening Loss To Astros

Chris Sale was the robust luck loser on Friday because of some sloppy fielding from his Red Sox teammates. The Boston ace downplayed the errors, regardless of the one-run loss. “That kind of stuff is going to happen,” Sale stated postgame. “You just try to limit the damage. I’d put my defense up against anybody. It is what it is.” Xander Bogaerts owned as much as his errors after the loss, saying he’ll must execute higher subsequent time round. To hear all the things from Sale and Bogaerts, take a look at the “NESN Sports Today” video above, offered by People’s United Bank. ... NESN.com

Josh Reddick’s Two-Run Home Run Propels Red Sox to Series-Opening Win in Seattle

Josh Reddick has come back to Earth some since his hot start after being called up earlier this season. That's to be expected as the young outfielder got more at-bats and thus, gave pitchers around the league more information on him. That said, the right fielder came up big again on Friday night for the Sox when he cleaned out an offering from Mariners pitcher Blake Beavan for a two-run home run. That blast ended up being the difference in a 6-4 win for Boston. Reddick spoke with NESN's Heidi Watney after the game. See what he had to say in the video above from NESN Daily.
