Red Sox

An inside-the-park grand slam led Toronto to a record-breaking night.

That minus-47 run differential across three contests is the worst by any team ever in the modern era, according to ESPN. While it appeared Boston had settled things down late, the Red Sox used infielder Yolmer Sanchez to pitch the ninth inning and save some relievers. Baltimore in 2007 and Boston’s 29 in 1950.

The relay home wasn’t close to nabbing Tapia, who picked up speed when he realized Duran had lost the ball. Tapia hit the second inside-the-park slam in Toronto’s history — both of them at Fenway. This one came as part of a seven-running inning that helped the Blue Jays take a 10-0 lead. Tapia hit the second inside-the-park slam in Toronto's history — both of them at Fenway.

It was a performance so bad you couldn't keep your eyes away, and unlike anything ever seen in the 110-year history at Fenway Park that even most of the sellout ...

As Christian Vazquez described it, “We toss it in the garbage, come back tomorrow and try again.” It’s not lack of effort because we keep going about our stuff and going about the process the right way. “It’s one loss,” Cora said. That would have been the last out of the inning. Danny Jansen hit a two-run homer that made it 14-0 in the fourth. “It was tough to watch,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. Nathan Eovaldi didn’t have it, and couldn’t make it out of the third inning. “There’s nothing you can do.” By the time Xander Bogaerts received the throw in shallow center, Tapia was well on his way home, sliding at the plate to complete an unbelievable sequence. We’ve got to find a way. When it was all mercifully over, the Green Monster scoreboard was almost impossible to believe. The 28 runs allowed on Friday marked a franchise record.

The Red Sox lost 28-5. The previous franchise high for runs allowed in a game came July 7, 1923, in a 27-3 loss at Cleveland.

Manager Alex Cora, speaking before the Red Sox hosted the Blue Jays on Friday, made it clear the next few months — not the past few — will define this season. “ ...

“Besides the baseball part and the Hall of Famer, everyone appreciates David as a person. “At the end of the day, what we do as an organization is try to get better this season and in the future,” Cora said. The standings are the standings, and we’re going to be judged by what we do.” “I just hope he enjoys it, and everyone does,” Cora said. Bello, widely regarded as the organization’s top pitching prospect, struggled in both of his Major League starts. As of Friday, Sale is officially on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 19. Cora referenced the 2018 season, when Christian Vázquez broke his pinkie and missed about six weeks. He said every game since a mid-May series at Atlanta has been “crucial” because of how poorly the Red Sox started. “I understand the conversations,” he said. They’re scheduled to play 17 consecutive days, so this could be a particularly telling and significant crossroads. The Red Sox started the season 14-22, and many believed they were finished before they really began in earnest. “Do we have to be better?

On Friday night, the Red Sox returned to Fenway Park in their first game since the All-Star break. Then, he barely made an effort to run after it. No one told Jarren Duran, who apparently never saw the ball as it flew over his head.

Throughout a season, every team is going to have bad losses. But there will be a few losses that make people look at the box score and wonder: What happened ...

The number of runs the Blue Jays scored in the fifth inning, in which they sent 15 batters to the plate. It's the sixth time since 1900 that a team has scored 28 or more, and as mentioned above, it's the first time the Blue Jays have reached that number and the first time the Red Sox have allowed it. The next four Blue Jays hit singles before a walk broke the streak. The Blue Jays had 29 hits in their win. The Blue Jays hung 28 runs on Boston and walking out of Fenway Park with a 28-5 victory. In short, to borrow a phrase from the Sox's archrivals: It's not what you want.

BOSTON -- On a Saturday afternoon in July 1923, the Red Sox were on the road for a doubleheader when Cleveland scored a run in every inning -- with the ...

It was tough to be in the dugout, to be honest with you. At that point, the Blue Jays were still sitting on 27 runs, which would have kept Boston in a tie with that 1923 contest. I knew that I was starting the first game, so I was going to be prepared for tonight. On Friday, the Blue Jays needed only one, and it came rather unconventionally in their seven-run third inning. The Blue Jays topped that in the fifth inning, scoring 11 runs on six singles and two doubles. It was not his shortest outing, however; that came on May 17 against the Astros, when he allowed nine runs (six earned) in 1 2/3 innings.

The Red Sox may have hit a new low in their season Friday night as Raimel Tapia legged out a home run while center fielder Jarren Duran watched.

The Red Sox are fourth in the AL East at 48-46 after the loss. And the Red Sox go down 10-0 in embarrassing fashion. What if I sprint into him and collide with him, or something like that?” Duran said after the game, according to The Boston Globe. In what was already a 6-0 game in the third ining, Blue Jays outfielder Raimel Tapia skied a fly ball to deep center field. He slumps in frustration, figuring he let Davis off the hook. T-rex arms, looking bewildered up at the sky.

With two outs in the third inning Friday, and the bases juiced, Blue Jays center fielder Raimel Tapia swung at an Austin Davis slider and lofted it to center ...

“It was tough to be in the dugout, to be honest with you. The Blue Jays came astonishingly close to the modern-day record of 30 runs in a game, set by the Rangers in 2007. The standings are the standings, and we’re going to be judged by what we do.” “At the end of the day, what we do as an organization is try to get better this season and in the future,” Cora said. Cora said all the Red Sox can do at this point is move on and focus on Saturday’s game. It was the lowest lowlight for the Red Sox in a night that featured plenty. Finally, in the seventh, Jake Diekman pitched a scoreless inning. Two innings later, Alex Verdugo leaped on the warning track with his glove facing the wrong way and missed a fly ball. In the fourth, Davis fielded a routine ground ball, spun clockwise, and threw the ball past first baseman Christian Vázquez (playing in a largely unfamiliar spot out of necessity). The next inning, catcher Kevin Plawecki, third baseman Rafael Devers, and pitcher Kaleb Ott formed a triangle and watched as the ball plopped between them. Afterward, Duran blamed the twilight, and manager Alex Cora said he doesn’t believe Duran ever saw it. The other was Junior Felix, in 1989, also at Fenway Park. You’d need to watch the video several times to make sure you saw it correctly.

Raimel Tapia hit an inside-the-park grand slam and the Toronto Blue Jays set a franchise record for runs, rolling past the Red Sox 28-5 on Friday night.

The all-time mark is 36 for the Chicago Colts against the Louisville Colonels in 1897. Those that stayed tried to make the best out of a woeful night at the ballpark. Toronto came within two of the modern major league record for runs in a game after stranding two runners in the ninth inning with Boston infielder Yolmer Sanchez on the mound. The woman’s “yes” was one of the few times Boston fans found reason to cheer. “We talked about it before the game, how you can come out a little bit sleepy and you can came out hot. Raimel Tapia put his head down and started a slow jog to first base, not sure he’d gotten the pop he wanted when he drove a bases-loaded fly ball to deep center field in the third inning.

Toronto's Raimel Tapia hit an inside-the-park grand slam and the Blue Jays set a franchise record for runs in a game, rolling past the Red Sox 28-5.

The modern MLB record for runs in a game is 30, set by the Texas Rangers against the Orioles on Aug. 22, 2007. "I just lost it in the twilight," Duran said. Boston blundered on defense again in the fifth. The woman's "yes'' was one of the few times Boston fans found reason to cheer. The relay home wasn't close to nabbing Tapia, who picked up speed when he realized Duran had lost the ball. "We talked about it before the game, how you can come out a little bit sleepy and you can came out hot.

Toronto was held scoreless in the seventh and eighth by Jake Diekman and Hirokazu Sawamura, respectively, but it still threatened the MLB record of 30 runs.

The Blue Jays cleared the 27-run mark in the ninth inning with Red Sox infielder Yolmer Sanchez on the mound. It should be noted that, if the list were expanded to before 1900, eight teams scored 30 or more runs in a game. Toronto was held scoreless in the seventh and eighth by Jake Diekman and Hirokazu Sawamura, respectively, but it still threatened the MLB record of 30 runs.

Toronto received at least two hits from every starter, including six from Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

Factor in Friday night's drubbing, and the Red Sox have now been outscored 55-8 in their last three contests. We've mentioned Gurriel, Jansen, and Tapia, but make no mistake: the Blue Jays as a team were wearing their hitting shoes on Friday night. Truth be told, Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran deserves plenty of credit for what could be called defensive indifference, as Duran lost the ball in the sky and then seemed to give up on the play. Believe it or not -- and given the final score, it's fairly believable -- Gurriel did not lead the Blue Jays in runs batted in on Friday. That honor was instead shared by Danny Jansen, who homered twice, and Raimel Tapia, who each drove in six. The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Boston Red Sox, 28-5, ( box score) on Friday night, and both clubs established franchise records for runs scored and allowed. Indeed, Toronto did much of its damage during an 11-run fifth inning that saw the Blue Jays extend their lead from 14-3 to 25-3.

Some people couldn't wait to fire away, including Tom Brady. He shared a SportsCenter tweet that noted the Blue Jays had 25 runs, writing: “Gonna be a hell of a ...

The Red Sox weren’t quite as fortunate Friday night, however, as they allowed a franchise record for runs and never came anywhere close to victory. Christian Vázquez and Rob Refsnyder homered to slice the deficit to 27-5, but the Blue Jays added one more and cruised to a dominant win. The Patriots, of course, erased a 28-3 deficit and ended up stunning the Falcons, 34-28, in overtime to win Super Bowl LI in thrilling and dramatic fashion.

BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today announced the following roster moves: - Placed left-handed pitcher Chris Sale on the 15-Day Injured List with a left ...

On July 17, he was removed from his start against the New York Yankees after being struck by a line drive in the first inning. Sánchez, 30, has appeared in one game for Boston this season, making his Red Sox debut on June 29 against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Boston had a vacancy on the 40-man roster, so no additional move was necessary to accommodate Sánchez’s promotion. Boston also placed second baseman Trevor Story on the IL just before the Break, necessitating Sánchez’s call-up. Signed to a minor league deal over the offseason, Sánchez has posted a .247/.377/.413 line with the WooSox, walking in a massive 16.5% of his 303 plate appearances.

Boston Red Sox rotation: Nathan Eovaldi, Kutter Crawford to start first two games after All-Star break the Rays at Tropicana Field on July 11. BOSTON — Red Sox top pitching prospect Brayan Bello, who Boston recalled Friday, is the leading candidate to start Sunday against the Blue Jays.

El ex toletero de los Red Sox, David Ortiz, era capaz de dominar a pitcher de gran cartel en las mayores, como Mariano Rivera y Roy Halladay, por ejemplo.

“Yo no era el tipo de bateador capaz de darle a los pitcheos fuera de la zona de strikes”. En la carrera de Ortiz, los números hablan por sí solos, por lo que el dominicano será exaltado al Salón de la Fama el domingo junto al cubano Tony Oliva y Jim Kaat, además de Gil Hodges, Bud Fowler, el cubano Orestes “Minnie” Miñoso y Bud Fowler de manera póstuma. En una carrera de 20 años en Grandes Ligas, Ortiz pegó 541 cuadrangulares, empujó 1,768 carreras y terminó con OPS de .931 y OPS+ de 141. “Sé que me iba bien contra Marino, y me iba bien contra los ases”, dijo Ortiz al ponérsele el tema durante una llamada organizada por el Salón de la Fama la semana pasada. Estamos hablando de los Salón de la Fama Roy Halladay y el panameño Mariano Rivera, además del venezolano Félix Hernández—quien posiblemente tenga su placa en Cooperstown algún día—entre muchos otros. En el caso de David Ortiz, el toletero quisqueyano tuvo dificultades contra serpentineros como el venezolano Rafael Betancourt, Brian Matusz y el colombiano José Quintana, lanzadores de respeto, pero no superestrellas. Por ejemplo, ¿cómo era posible que el utility dominicano Enrique Wilson le pegara con tanta facilidad (.364/.382/.485) a su compatriota Pedro Martínez, un Salón de la Fama?

On the pitch, the outstanding work by Klopp and his team has transformed decent players into a team full of world-class talent. Instead of going and getting their target, they would rather wait 'another year', putting the upcoming season into jeopardy. John W. Henry and FSG took over Liverpool in 2010, saving the club from the terrible ownership of George Gillett and Tom Hicks. 12 years later and with the guidance of Jurgen Klopp, The Reds have won their first Premier League title as well as a Champions League.

The struggling Boston Red Sox, who lost, 28-5, on Friday night at Fenway Park to the Toronto Blue Jays, placed All-Star third baseman Rafael Devers on the ...

Speaking before Boston took on the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Devers felt right hamstring tightness in his last at-bat Friday night, and wasn't running well earlier in the game. Devers, 25, has had a tremendous season despite Boston's ups and downs. The Boston Red Sox placed All-Star third baseman Rafael Devers on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right hamstring inflammation.

Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran had a tough night on Friday, as he lost a fly ball while playing centerfield that led to a Raimel Tapia inside-the-park ...

But he was already going to beat me to the ball.” But he was already going to beat me to the ball so I just didn’t want to get in his way. As for why he didn’t hustle to get the ball when he noticed where it landed, Duran said left fielder Alex Verdugo was closer to the ball and he didn’t want to get in the way.

Davis, 28, is 2-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts on the year for Boston. This is his fourth season of big league action, the first three coming with the Giants.

In terms of filling in for Devers, there’s little the Red Sox can do to fill that void. With those kinds of numbers, the Red Sox won’t want to be long without their superstar at the hot corner. In terms of corresponding moves, outfielder Jaylin Davis was promoted from Triple-A, and Enrique Hernandez was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Cora went on to add that they do not believe that the injury occurred during Devers' trip to Los Angeles for the 2022 MLB All-Star Game. Boston's MVP, the 25- ...

The Red Sox have placed Rafael Devers on the injured list. They promoted Jaylen Davis to take his spot.

The outfielder has gone 2-for-4 with two strikeouts. I guess he kept grinding. “He says he felt it in the swing (final at-bat),” manager Alex Cora said Saturday. “If you see him running the bases on the first one, the double, he didn’t look too good rounding first.

Boston's all-star third baseman has been placed on the 10-day IL.

Red Sox ownership has been loath to invest in the roster at adequate levels, and the teams recent struggles and injury concerns (notably, Chris Sale is also out for a significant stretch of time with a finger fracture) may give the front office the cover it seeks to do nothing at the deadline or even undertake a sell-off. The loss of Devers is a critical one for Boston. This season, the 25-year-old is batting .324/.379/.602 (164 OPS+) with 22 home runs and 29 doubles in 87 games played. Devers sustained the injury during Friday's humbling 28-5 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Outfielder Jaylin Davis has been recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

An hour before first pitch, the club made the call that he would need a stint on the IL to recover. He was replaced by Bobby Dalbec at the hot corner in the top of the sixth. Behind that dominant first half, Devers was selected to the AL’s starting lineup for the All-Star Game for the second straight season, beating out the Guardians’ José Ramírez in the balloting. “Well, he says he felt it in the swing,” said manager Alex Cora. “If you see him running the bases on the first [hit], the double, he didn’t look too good running to first. Before Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays at Fenway Park, the Red Sox placed third baseman Rafael Devers on the 10-day injured list with right hamstring inflammation. BOSTON -- After a historic 28-5 loss to the Blue Jays on Friday night, the Red Sox were eager to turn the page.
