Does Clay Buchholz Deserve A Spot In Red Sox’s Rotation Amid Strong Stretch?
Clay Buchholz was just supposed to bridge the gap. But given the way he’s pitched over the last two weeks, the Boston Red Sox might have some decisions to make. Buchholz, who is filling in for the injured Steven Wright in Boston’s rotation, made his third consecutive start Tuesday. And for the third consecutive time, the right-hander put his team in a position to win, this time limiting the Tampa Bay Rays to one run over 6 1/3 innings while striking out nine in the Red Sox’s 2-1 win at Tropicana Field. To say Buchholz has had a disappointing 2016 season would be an understatement: He posted a 6.35 ERA record through his first
Eduardo Rodriguez Looks To Build On Strong Start Vs. Struggling Twins
Share this: BOSTON — Eduardo Rodriguez is coming off his best outing of the season, and he’ll get a chance to start a hot streak against the worst team in the American League. The left-hander threw seven innings of one-run ball against the New York Yankees on July 16, a stark contrast from the numbers he was putting up before being optioned to Triple-A. Rodriguez will face off against a Minnesota Twins team Friday that only managed to score two runs on four hits against Steven Wright the night before. The only change to the Red Sox’s lineup Thursday is Sandy Leon filling in for Ryan Hanigan, who Boston manager John Farrell said went through some “turmoil” catching for Wright on Thursday. Leon will bat
White Sox Land James Shields In Trade With Padres, Bolster Strong Staff
One of the more coveted pitchers on Major League Baseball’s trade market is off the board. The Chicago White Sox have acquired right-hander James Shields from the San Diego Padres in exchange for minor league prospects Erik Johnson and Fernando Tatis Jr. and cash considerations, the teams announced Saturday. Shields pitched well for San Diego this season despite his 2-7 record but went out on a sour note, getting crushed for 10 runs over 2 2/3 innings Monday and ballooning his 3.06 ERA to 4.28. The 34-year-old veteran and one-time All-Star will be a welcome addition on Chicago’s already-strong pitching staff, which is led by Cy Young can...
David Ortiz On Starting Season Strong: When ‘Light Goes On Papi Goes On’
The 2016 season couldn’t have started much better for the Boston Red Sox than it did Tuesday afternoon. Ace David Price pitched six solid innings, Mookie Betts and the other young players stepped up at the plate and David Ortiz hit a home run in the Red Sox’s 6-2 win over the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field. So what did the soon-to-be-retired Ortiz say about his strong start to the season afterward? “(When) the light goes on Papi goes on,” Ortiz said on “Red Sox Final.” We couldn’t have said it any better. Hear more from Ortiz in the video above. Thumbnail photo via Ken Blaze/USA TODAY Sports Images
Bruins’ Strong Response Not Enough To Erase Slow Start In Loss To Kings
by Zack Cox on Sun, Mar 20, 2016 at 2:08AM 351 “Playing a 60-minute game” is such a common hockey cliche for a reason, the Boston Bruins showed it Saturday night. Boston saved perhaps the best two periods of its California road trip for last, but they were not enough to make up for the inauspicious start to Saturday night’s 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center. The Kings nearly tripled up the Bruins in shots on net in the first 20 minut...
