Leading the pack was Jackie Bradley Jr., who homered twice and doubled three times, while driving in seven and scoring five runs out of the ninth spot in the batting order.

Red Sox manager John Farrell said Friday that he had a “very treatable” form of cancer and would take a medical leave to deal with lymphoma. Brock Holt had three hits and scored three times, and Travis Shaw also has three hits. “They were scoring a lot of runs”. King Felix allowed 12 hits, 10 earned runs, and three homers through 2.1 innings in what might be regarded as the worst outing of his career.
With the score 19-2 in the eighth, Nelson Cruz ripped his 35th home run, a two-run shot to left center.
According to MLB.com’s Paul Casella, Boston is the first team since 1950 to have 15 or more runs and 21 or more hits in back-to-back games.
Gutierrez’s first long ball came right after second baseman Robinson Cano’s first-inning, two-run homer as the Mariners scored three runs in the first, four in the third, and one in the seventh. Mike Zunino’s bouncing single over Bogaerts’ head would give the Mariners a late lead. Since Hisashi Iwakuma’s no-hitter on Wednesday, the Mariners have allowed 37 runs on 47 hits in just TWO games.
The good news for the Mariners out of this series is obviously the offense the last two days. Seeing that Henry Owens started the game for Boston, the team that the Red Sox fielded was among the youngest ever. Owens picked up a 7-2 win at Detroit with a run given up on three hits and four BB in five frames.
That position has been filled as of Sunday, as bullpen coach Dana LeVangie will move over to the dugout and become the bench coach.
“The frustrating part is that we came so far and got so close and didn’t win the game”, Lovullo said. The Red Sox, on the other hand, had seen a leadoff walk of Blake Swihart completely wasted when Garin Cecchini failed to get the bunt down then struck out-the first of five strikeouts the Sox would produce between the first two extra innings.
“I couldn’t get anybody out”, he said. The M’s took a 7-0 lead in the third inning. He gave up eight runs in one-third of an inning on June 12 in a 10-0 loss at Houston and has given up seven runs in four different starts.
It has been a struggle all year for the Red Sox, but an announcement Friday served as a powerful reminder that these games we love to watch and cover are never really that serious.
“You feel real fortunate and lucky that they found it when they did”, Ventura said. Bradley then homered a few feet above Sandoval’s drive.
However, without Ortiz, the potency of the Red Sox lineup would be impacted too greatly, and he has consistently proven his value annually.

Hernandez (14-7) was tagged for a career high-tying 10 runs in just 21/3innings. 3B Pablo Sandoval was out with a bruised right elbow after getting hit by a pitch Saturday…. At this point, I’m just rooting for Rodney to succeed in his last season in Seattle.
