FOXBORO, Mass. — Sony Michel’s stats through four NFL games paint the picture of a player who’s picking up the game very quickly. How so?

Red Sox’s Rick Porcello Bemoans Walks Allowed In Outing Vs. White Sox
Rick Porcello had allowed one walk or less in seven of his 13 outings entering Sunday.

The veteran right-hander allowed three free-passes to the Southsiders, including a bases-loaded walk in the third inning, as Chicago grabbed a 5-2 victory at Fenway Park. After the game, Porcello acknowledged that while pitchers won’t be 100 percent every outing, throwing strikes is to be expected.

Red Sox Vs. White Sox Lineups: Rick Porcello Starts Series Finale For Boston
The Boston Red Sox will send Rick Porcello to the mound Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park as they try to take two of three games from their weekend series against the Chicago White Sox.

Red Wings Condemn Use Of Their Logo At Charlottesville Rally
The Detroit Red Wings want nothing to do with white nationalism or the so-called alt-right. The NHL team condemned a white nationalist group’s use of its logo Saturday at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va.

Here’s Why Red Sox’s Walk-Off Win Was A Real Bummer For White Sox
There was a little bit of foreshadowing during the Boston Red Sox’s win Friday that perhaps the Chicago White Sox should have noticed. The White Sox had their chances against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, but ultimately, the home team left the field with the 3-2 extra-innings win. Chicago had its first two batters reach base in both the ninth and 11th innings, but some stellar defense by the Red Sox made sure the team didn’t put any runs on the board. That paved the way for Boston first baseman Mitch Moreland to hit a walk-off solo shot in the bottom of the 11th off an aptly named White Sox reliever. We’re
