    Rick Porcello now has a baseball field named after him

    First, Rick Porcello won the American League Cy Young Award. Now, he has a baseball field named after him. Not bad for a 28 year old. Porcello was in attendance Monday morning as his alma mater, Seton Hall Prep, dedicated its new baseball field, naming the new facility after the Red Sox pitcher...

    Red Sox 7, Orioles 3: Why this probably wasn’t just another game for Andrew Bentintendi, no matter what he says

    Andrew Benintendi is already wise in the world of what to say when breaking out of the worst slump in his young life. “Just another game,” he told reporters after the Red Sox’ 7-3 win over the Orioles Sunday afternoon. “Balls fall this time. Just another game.” (For a complete recap,...

    Dustin Pedroia sure thinks he will be in Red Sox lineup Friday

    When Dustin Pedroia collided with Chicago’s Jose Abreu, spraining his left wrist, it was fair to fear the worse. The wrist, after all, was the same one he had surgery on in 2014. But listening to Pedroia prior to the Red Sox’ game against the Orioles Saturday night, it sure seems this isn’t...

    BALTIMORE — Pablo Sandoval is going to get his chance at third base. For the second straight game, Sandoval gets the start at the position, hitting eighth.

    Orioles 3, Red Sox 2: They have to get Hanley Ramirez going

    BALTIMORE — The Red Sox reek of a team with a bunch of important players slumping at the same time. Mookie Betts? Slumping. Andrew Benintendi? Slumping. Mitch Moreland? Slumping? And that brings us to Hanley Ramirez. Considering the Betts, Benintendi and Moreland went a combined 0-for-12 during...

    Eduardo Rodriguez heads to 10-day disabled list with knee injury

    BALTIMORE — Evidently, the tumble Eduardo Rodriguez took before his start Thursday night wasn’t as innocent as it appeared. The left-hander has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a knee injury. “I just threw a pitch and my foot got in a bad position and I went down. But nothing...

    With less than 2 months until non-waiver trade deadline, Red Sox still don’t know what they’re dealing with

    BALTIMORE — In less than two months you will have your Major League Baseball non-waiver trade deadline. By now the Red Sox usually have a handle on what they might need. Last season, for example, it became clear the Red Sox could use another late-inning relief pitcher (Brad Ziegler) and another...

    Eduardo Rodriguez: Poor pitching, not bullpen tumble, was problem in loss

    BALTIMORE — The start was so out of character for Eduardo Rodriguez this season, there had to be some explanation. For many guessing at the impetus for the 5 2/3-inning, seven-run start, the answer was an incident before the Red Sox’ 7-5 loss to the Orioles. While warming up in the bullpen...
