Next up in the parade was Heath Hembree for his turn on the merry-go-round pitching rotation for game number 154. “What do I do during the anthem?”

“He stepped up in a moment’s notice and gave us four quality innings”, Red Sox interim manager Torey Lovullo said. “They do a good job on the whole”. They are now just 3 1/2 games behind the AL’s second wild card. R.Castillo grounded out, third baseman M.Machado to first baseman Pearce.
Showalter said he was satisfied with the three-game suspension received by Washington’s Jonathan Papelbon for throwing at Manny Machado. Chen has gone seven innings and allowed one or two runs in his last two starts, both wins. “You know it’s going to be a little bit of a challenge”.
Orioles starter Wei-Yin Chen was solid but had no offense to speak of on this day. “We are thrilled to have him in this position and I’m excited to have him working with me on every aspect of baseball operations”, Dombrowski said. The Sox scored one more time in the inning when Brock Holt hit an RBI double to score Papi. Mookie Betts may have just changed your mind. On top of two more games against Detroit, they go to Cleveland for four games before they head home to finish out the season against the Royals.
O’s starting pitcher Kevin Gausman, while a Red Sox team that he just saw less than two weeks ago, had yet to record an out in the 7th inning in the month of September. An inning later, Holt drove in a run with a single up the middle to put Boston up 2-0.
Boston Red Sox’s Craig Breslow pitches during the first inning of a baseball game against the Ba … It very much reminded me of what Erik Bedard looked like in 2007 in his 13-5 season before being traded to bring back Adam Jones, Chris Tillman, etc. Bedard was awesome that year, and that is what Hill was on Friday night. Between rehab, minor-league and big-league games he has thrown 1011/3.
Pablo Sandoval will likely not play again this season. The rookie filled in for David Ortiz in the cleanup spot but went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts.
Breslow said he thought he last pitched from the windup in 2005.
As noted earlier, I believe this can work: Dombrowski would be there to rein in Wren’s impulses – he can indeed be impulsive, but apparently there was no check/balance in the Braves organization – and Wren’s ability to scrounge for parts, particularly relievers and bench players, would be an asset to any club, even if he’s not technically the GM.
Boston shut down Hanley Ramirez for the rest of the season due to right shoulder inflammation.
The back-to-back shutouts are the first for the Sox since 2011 and the first in consecutive home games since 2006.
Orioles: RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (12-9) is set to go Sunday.

Boston SS Xander Bogaerts went 0 for 3, halting his career-best 12-game hitting streak. I don’t know, but he has opened up a lot of eyes, and if it’s not with the Boston Red Sox in 2016, I think Lovullo has earned the right to manage somewhere else.
