TORONTO — The Athletics were a major thorn in the Red Sox’s side last week, taking two of three at Fenway Park to put Boston in an extremely uncomfortable position leading into the final week of the regular season. But late Tuesday night, the A’s made it up to the Red Sox in a big way. The Athletics beat the Houston Astros 5-1 in their series opener, dropping the Astros two games behind the Red Sox with five games to play. Because the Red Sox also hold the tiebreaker, the Astros would actually have to make up three games to…

The Worcester Red Sox wrapped up their 2025 season on Sunday with a 9-8 win over the Rochester Red Wings. They also celebrated by giving out some hardware. Not surprisingly, Jhostynxon Garcia received team MVP honors. The 22-year-old outfielder dominated in 81 games with Worcester after being promoted from Portland, batting .271/.334/.498 with 18 home runs, 12 doubles, 60 runs, 58 RBI and three stolen bases. Garcia — the organization’s No. 3 prospect according to MLB Pipeline — even earned a cup of coffee with the Red Sox, appearing in five games for Boston in late August. He received just…
The Red Sox are another step closer. Boston opened its three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays with a 4-1 victory at Rogers Centre on Tuesday night. The Red Sox currently hold a one-game lead for the second American League Wild Card spot, and are another win closer to their postseason goal. Alex Cora and company received help elsewhere, too. The Cleveland Guardians earned a 5-2 victory against the Detroit Tigers in their series opener at Progressive Field. Cleveland now sits atop the American League Central after having won 11 of its last 12 games. Detroit, meanwhile, is a half…
WATERTOWN – Head coach Jen Crook felt losing by seven goals on Saturday to four-time reigning Div. 4 state champion Uxbridge was a tough pill to swallow for the No. 6 Somerset Berkley field hockey team. Three days later, it responded by handing four-time reigning Div. 3 state champion Watertown its first loss since 2019. With Julie Pacheco’s go-ahead goal less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, Somerset Berkley showed composure to shake off Watertown’s game-tying, two-goal rally, and snap its 103-game win streak with a 4-3 victory. Addie Finlaw scored twice, while Jen Crook’s son, Ryan Crook, had…
A night that began with the collection of more concerning data for new Bruins coach Marco Sturm ended on a high note, thanks to a spirited third-period comeback that led to a 5-4 overtime victory over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Nikita Zadorov scored the winner on a bar-down wrister to lift the B’s to a victory that was made possible by a monster third period by newcomer Mikey Eyssimont, who scored two goals and then set up Marat Khusnutdinov’s equalizer with the goalie pulled for an extra skater. “Hopefully it just shows that we fight until…
To be fair, Giolito’s followed that up with an outstanding summer. However, he’s also shown recent signs of slippage, including walking 14 batters in his last four outings. Unfortunately, he’s probably going to have to be outstanding to win tonight because Kevin Gausman is on the hill for the Jays and he has a 0.90 ERA over his last four starts. He’s also pitched deep in those games (piling up 30 innings of work) while only walking four guys. If this pattern holds, get ready to spend a lot more time watching the Blue Jays bat tonight than the Red…
TORONTO — If the Red Sox are going to make the playoffs, performances like Tuesday’s are going to be what gets them there. Starting pitcher Lucas Giolito didn’t have his best stuff or command. Didn’t matter. Shortstop Trevor Story committed two errors in the first two innings. Didn’t matter. The Blue Jays seemed like they had traffic all night and a million chances to pile on runs. The Red Sox didn’t let it happen. And in the end, Boston stood tall. The Red Sox grinded out a huge 4-1 win over the first-place Blue Jays in Tuesday’s series opener, riding…
On Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox first baseman Nathaniel Lowe left eight runners on base. The Red Sox lost the game by four runs. The loss wasn’t squarely on Lowe, but the squandered opportunities were hard to forget after the game. After a day off, Lowe returned to the lineup against the Toronto Blue Jays. He came to the plate in the first inning with a runner on second and two outs, and came through this time to score the game’s first run. In the sixth inning, with the game tied, Lowe again singled in a…
