2 runs, 3 hits, 0 errors, 1 left on.
Porcello and Symly were fighting their way through a small-scale pitching duel, with the Rays starter going for 6.1 IP and five hits while the Red Sox right-hander allowed 11 hits in 7.0 innings.
Yes, Bochy used three pitchers in the seventh, three pitchers in the eighth and three pitchers in the ninth inning. Maile popped out to shortstop Bogaerts.
(AP) – Matt Moore finally turned in the kind of start Tampa Bay was growing used to before his elbow injury.
“I’ve always had confidence in myself”, Smyly said of his return from the DL.
Wright allowed two homers Wednesday, a solo shot to David Ortiz in the second inning and a two-run blast to Dustin Pedroia in a three-run third.
The Rays are 37-18 in their last 55 during game 4 of a series and 0-5 in Ramirezs last 5 starts. “I don’t think it’s fair to judge him on his first or second start back. Let’s build on those seven scoreless”, Moore told MLB’s official website. “The Royals have some guys like Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer and Alcides Escobar, who have learned to become better hitters, but they don’t have a middle of the order like Toronto”.
“Personally, no I did not (think it was intentional)”, Cash said.
Boston right-handed reliever Jean Machi was ejected by home plate umpire Bill Welke after almost hitting Souza in the head with his first pitch after giving up the home run to Cabrera.
Left-hander Henry Owens will start Sunday and lefty Eduardo Rodriguez will get another start, perhaps his last, in the series against the Yankees.
“Our offense just couldn’t get any momentum”, interim manager Torey Lovullo said. “Some of the comments (catcher) Blake (Swihart) was saying as he was coming in from the inning is that he was not missing a spot”. New York stretched its lead to 6 1/2 games over the second-place Nationals with 12 to play and lowered its magic number for clinching the division to seven.
“That was obviously nice”, said Nava, who was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on July 30.
Kiermaier, 1 for 14 previously against Porcello, had his third hit of the game with one out in the seventh.
Gordon Beckham homered, Jose Abreu had an RBI double and Avisail Garcia a sacrifice fly in the night cap of the split-doubleheader.
Ortiz’s resume continues to get better as his career starts to come to a close. “But him playing first base has not been discussed”. “We’re seeing it of late”. While he will probably never get more than 20 steals in a season, his near-perfect steal percentage this year shows how much Bogaerts has matured. But my confidence go way in my own little battle between the tournament in confidence and the message out either a cup but for me to be honest.
