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 Red Sox’s 11-game West Coast swing started with a series split against the Los Angeles Angels thanks to Dustin Pedroia’s heroics. Now Boston begins another four-game set against the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field on Monday night. Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez gets the start for Boston, as he looks to continue to improve in the second half of the season. Rodriguez was sent to Triple-A Pawtucket after a disastrous June outing against the Tampa Bay Rays, but he’s 1-1 with a 3.06 ERA since returning to the big leagues. Boston will trot out almost the same lineup

Jackie Bradley Jr. Takes Over As Red Sox’s Cleanup Hitter Vs. Angels

David Ortiz won’t be in the Boston Red Sox’s starting lineup against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday, which means Jackie Bradley Jr. will slide up to the cleanup spot.

Kevin Durant is no longer a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder after agreeing to a two-year contract with the Golden State Warriors on Monday. You can expect over the next few days everything with Durant’s name and photo to be removed from Chesapeake Energy Arena in OKC. The removal outside the arena already is underway. And it didn’t take very long for the “Crying Jordan” meme to make an appearance. It’s a sad moment for Thunder fans. Durant was the franchise’s best player from its inception in 2008-09 after owner Clay Bennett moved the team from Seattle. In all honesty, the team never should have left Seattle, so T...

Jürgen Klopp Takes Moral Victory In Liverpool Effort, Still Disappointed In Loss

Jürgen Klopp insisted there were many positives to take from Liverpool’s performance at West Ham United but admitted the 2-1 defeat in the FA Cup ensured his side head home full of disappointment. The Reds recovered from Michail Antonio’s goal just before halftime to level the fourth-round replay through Philippe Coutinho’s excellent free-kick three minutes after the restart at the Boleyn Ground. They forged a number of chances to take the lead during the remainder of the 90 minutes and into extra-time — instead, the Hammers secured the result when Angelo Ogbonna headed the winner just as a penalty shootout loomed. In his post-match asse...

Pete Carroll Takes Nasty Fall During Tyler Lockett’s Kickoff Return (Video)

Now that’s going to leave a mark. Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll simply was minding his own business during Tyler Lockett’s electrifying 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown during a preseason game against the Denver Broncos on Friday, but that all changed in an instant. The trailing referee was paying attention to Lockett as he ran down the sideline, which meant he didn’t see Carroll standing right in front of him. What ensued was an epic collision that you have to see for yourself. Ouch. That looked painful. Thumbnail photo via Joe Nicholson/USA TODAY Sports Images ...
