For Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. that ending was 29 games. Bradley’s streak ended with a whimper when he went 0 for 4 and was flummoxed by young Rockies starter Jon Gray after he moved up to the leadoff spot for the first time this season.
“It was a tough assignment”.
“That’s probably the best lineup in baseball right now, so great performance”, Weiss said.
Bogaerts has six homers this year.
“I’m basically the one that struggling – the only one that’s struggling”, Buchholz said. He had the night off, before pinch-hitting in the ninth with Bradley on deck.
Arrieta allowed four runs in a regular-season game for the first time since June 16, 2015.
Gray was unfazed by the shuffle.
Nolan Arenado and DJ LaMahieu also drove in a runs for Colorado, which pounded out 12 hits to halt a three-game skid. He got Bradley out by mixing in some changeups, which Bradley later acknowledged caught him off guard. “I thought in two at-bats (Thursday) it was going to be extended with the way he squared some pitches up”. Washington counters with Tanner Roark (3-3, 2.89), who is 5-0 with a 3.05 ERA in 11 career appearances against the Mets. Gonzalez, who broke out of a awful slump in a big way this series, finished the three games by going 6/12 with a home run, a double, three runs scored and two driven in.
It’s the longest hitting streak in the majors this season and tied with Johnny Damon (2005) for the fourth-longest in Red Sox history. “I just want to continue to keep swinging the bat well and keep winning”. He flied out to center in the fifth.
Carlos “Wild Thing” Estevez came in with one out in the eighth and a runner on first and promptly induced two quick fly balls. “To be able to get the opportunity to go this far, it’s a blessing”, Bradley said of the streak. The 23-year-old has collected at least one hit in 31 of his last 33 games and multiple hits in 18 of those, raising his batting average from. The majority of his career was spent with the Red Sox and frankly, it shouldn’t have taken this long to retire his number.
Boggs became the 10th former player to have his number affixed to Fenway’s right field facade.

“We always have conversations about every guy”. Farrell said LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (right patella subluxation), who began a second rehab assignment Tuesday in Triple-A Pawtucket, did some fielding practice Wednesday, but a decision is yet to be made about where his next start will be. Giants RHP Matt Cain (1-5, 5.37 ERA) counters Rockies RHP Tyler Chatwood (5-3, 3.02 ERA) on Friday in San Francisco.
