After a frustrating 1-0 extra innings loss in game one of this series, the Detroit Tigers sent their ace to the mound looking to even things up. Tarik Skubal was very good, the Tigers beat up on Brayan Bello to build an early lead despite squandering some chances, and the bullpen was nails. It was […]

Well, it was a good thing the Sox won last night, because it’s going to be a tough one this afternoon. The Sox take on Tarik Skubal, who received a big early boost in the Cy Young race when Garrett Crochet got rocked earlier this week. Of course, Skubal doesn’t really need the help, as […]
The Cincinnati Reds look to clinch a series victory on Saturday with a second straight win over the Minnesota Twins. Andrew Abbott gets the start. Full lineups below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups REDS TWINS TJ Friedl – CF Byron Buxton – DH Will Benson – LF Austin Martin – RF Elly De La Cruz – […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Jack Anderson. The Red Sox have had to go to the 40-man roster earlier in the season than they would have liked, to the tune of bringing four guys up from Worcester so far, three of whom have made their Major League debut (four total […]
Worcester, Game 1: L, 2-4 (BOX SCORE) Jake Bennett, who had his start derailed by a day due to rain, continues his hot start to 2026. He now has 16 1/3 innings with just one run earned, and continued that with three innings of shutout ball. However, neither that or the okay relief work was […]
The Detroit Tigers saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Friday night by the Boston Red Sox, 1-0, in a genuine pitcher’s duel that required an extra inning to determine the winner. Casey Mize looked great for the Motor City Kitties, but the offense could not break through against Ranger Suarez and Aroldis Chapman. The […]
It took some unexpected heroics from Ryan McMahon, but the Yankees picked up a much-needed victory in their series opener against the Royals. Having just played a very frustrating series against the Angels, the last thing they needed was a dumb loss to open the set against Kansas City. While the Yankees wouldn’t lose any […]
You know how sometimes you hear a statistic that feels so outrageous you have have to dig into the details and verify it yourself? Well, Chris Cotillo dropped one of those last night when he tweeted this after the Red Sox 1-0 win in ten innings: Now let’s be clear, the Red Sox don’t always […]
This is the sixth walk-off in the Fenway Greens in their season+ lifetime and that’s kind of absurd. They must be made of magic. Did the offense look absolutely inept against Casey Mize? Yeah, Mize mowed this lineup down for seven innings. Thankfully, Ranger Suárez was on par if not better, creating one of the […]
After a spotless homestand, the Tigers hit the road and headed to Boston for a four-game wrap-around series against the Red Sox. Sadly, Detroit’s winning streak would end with the opening game of said series, after falling to Boston 1-0 in 10 innings. Making his fourth start of the season for the Tigers was Casey […]

After getting banged up repeatedly in Thursday’s victory, utilityman Zach McKinstry has been placed on the 10-day injured list with left hip/abdominal inflammation. Infielder Hao-Yu Lee has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo to make his major league debut. He’ll wear number 50, and is batting eighth and playing third base on Friday night in Boston. […]
After a disappointing .500 road trip, the Red Sox head home to host two tough opponents: the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees. First up are the Tigers. In their favor, the AL East is still close. Boston trails the Tampa Bay Rays by just 4.0 games. They are just 2.5 games out of […]
The Red Sox are officially “not worried” about Garrett Crochet after the worst start of his career earlier this week. “The greatest pitchers in baseball have tough days, and that’s OK,” said pitching coach Andrew Bailey. “I think we have to recognize, too, that these guys are human, and sometimes baseball is baseball. It’s a […]
Bowling Green Hot Rods 9, Greenville Drive 8 (BOX) Unfortunately, the story of the day in this one was Juan Valera’s elbow. After beginning to pop up on top-100 MLB prospect lists, Valera left the game after one inning with inflammation in his pitching elbow. Chris Cotillo has more detail here. Valera was off to […]
Good news: Red Sox fans get to watch the two best starting pitchers in the American League this weekend when the Detroit Tigers come to town. Bad news: The pitchers miss each other by one game and Boston must find a way to beat the two-time defending Cy Young Award winner. Garrett Crochet and Tarik […]
The Detroit Tigers are on a roll after a perfect 6-0 homestand that erased a five-game losing streak and put them over the .500 mark for the first time since late March. Next up on the agenda are the Boston Red Sox, who will host the Motor City Kitties for a four-game series at Fenway […]
After a rain delay at Comerica Park, the Tigers were looking to wrap up their hopeful sweep of the Royals before heading to Boston for the weekend to take on the Red Sox. Hoping to get them there was Keider Montero on the mound, up against Kris Bubic for the Royals. Montero has had a […]
The Cincinnati Reds managed only one hit in nine innings Thursday afternoon. And that includes two bench-clearing squabbles. Landon Roupp struck out six Reds in six one-hit innings and a trio of relievers allowed just one baserunner in the San Francisco Giants’ 3-0 win over the Reds. Jung Hoo lee went 3-for-4 and delivered an […]
One of the early trends of the 2026 MLB season has been a flurry of activity by teams locking up young talent via extensions. It’s a trend that dates back to early last season when the Red Sox signed Garrett Crochet and Kristian Campbell in the early going before the Padres locked up 2024’s Rookie […]
Worcester: L, 3-5 (BOX SCORE) This game may have had a totally different outcome if the WooSox simply left fewer men on base, especially later on. A total of 14 were left stranded in the midst of 11 walks by Sounds (Brewers AAA) pitchers. It also didn’t help that the WooSox found themselves quickly down […]
If there’s one recent play that sums up Trevor Story’s slow slide defensively at shortstop, I’d argue it’s this one from Monday night: Simply put, he doesn’t have the range he once did. It’s not so bad he can’t get to this ball at all, but it’s also slipped enough so that he can’t get […]
One of my favorite things in life as I age in this overly automated, data-driven world is watching how differently things turn out when human beings enter a situation after it was projected to go a certain way on paper. And let me be clear; I say this as a complete baseball nerd who spends […]
