The two homers Tuesday night gave Swihart three homers in his last four games, and hinted at his power that probably hasn’t fully developed.

David Ortiz put the pressure right back on Pineda with a double of his own, and while Pineda had a shot at a second out when Travis Shaw hit a tapper to the first base side of the mound, Pineda opted to try for the out at home, and Bogaerts slid in safe ahead of the tag to make it 2-0.

“There’s not alarm. That team’s playing really good baseball”. “Just need one more day”, Lovullo said.
The Red Sox did their part in eliminating the Yankees from the AL East race with a 10-4 win in New York, but with the Jays and Orioles getting rained out, the Yankees’ fate will have to wait until tomorrow. Let’s get the regular season over with already, shall we?
In the third inning, each starter only needed 8 pitches to retire all three batters he faced in order. They’re a blade I know that when you were called up they said just worry about the press story about the offense.

The Orioles put two on with one out in the eighth on Flaherty’s single and a walk to Machado, but Chris Davis popped up to third off left-hander Tommy Layne and Steve Pearce flied out to center against right-hander Noe Ramirez to end the inning. “That’s a different team than we’d seen all spring and summer”, Rodriguez said.
