Sometime after they trotted into the locker room with a halftime lead Sunday, the Patriots decided to ditch their run game. They had averaged 3.3 yards per carry against the Raiders, who stuffed two third-and-1 runs inside the final five minutes of the half. It was time, they figured, to put the game in Drake Maye’s hands. Bombs away. The Raiders were already there. They had logged a 74% pass rate in the first half, when they fizzled fast under the Foxboro rain. After Geno Smith hit a touchdown pass on his opening drive, he took three sacks, threw a…

Garrett Crochet has been one of the best pitchers in baseball all season, but coming off a bizarre outing in which he allowed a season-worst seven runs, it was fair to wonder if the Red Sox ace was starting to run out of gas. The big lefty dispelled any such concerns on Monday in Sacramento. Crochet looked every bit his usual dominant self, shutting down the Athletics to help lead the Red Sox to a 7-0 win. The left-hander struck out 10 over seven scoreless innings, and the offense put together its most complete performance in nearly a week to…
Garrett Crochet had a bounce-back performance in the opener between the Red Sox and the Athletics on Monday night, striking out ten batters in 7.0 innings of work. He was helped by the Red Sox offense, who recorded twelve hits in the 7-0 win. Both Trevor Story and Carlos Narváez hit a home run in the win. The Red Sox are 22-1 when Story hits a home run.

All eyes were on Garrett Crochet in this outing after a lot of talk of fatigue in recent days for the pitcher who now leads all of baseball in innings pitched with 185 1/3. Crochet responded by dominating with all four of his pitches (Four Seam, Cutter, Sinker, Sweeper) and even a few changeups, allowing three hits, walking none, and striking out ten batters over seven innings, for his 15th victory of the season. After limited whiffs on the four-seam in the previous outing, Crochet got 42% Whiffs on that pitch tonight.StatcastThe broadcast referenced Crochet’s dominance on 5+ days rest,…
Capturing three consecutive Div. 1 high school girls volleyball state championships might be enough reason for Newton North to ease up on the gas pedal. No such luck. “The girls bring a lot of hard work to the season,” said Newton North coach Nile Fox. “They make goals in the beginning of the season and go after all of them. A lot of success comes from the preparation we do. We practice hard work on things that we struggle with and we make sure we know all that we can about our opponents.” Challengers await, but in chasing another crown,…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass (AP) — Mike Vrabel didn’t see anything major in the game film to alter his initial assessment of the New England Patriots’ 20-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.Bottom line: they need to play better after halftime and play more complementary football overall.“The defense had three, three-and-outs and we managed three points,” the first-year Patriots coach said Monday.“Complementary football is not going to exist and we’re not going to win games if our defense can do that and we only manage three points. So there’s going to be times that we’re going to need the offense to help us and…

Four separate games have been scheduled, slated to kick off on Tuesday, Nov. 25. The introductory battle will feature a showdown between two premier Middlesex League heavyweights, as Melrose faces off with Wakefield at 5 p.m. Many…
The Las Vegas Raiders suffered an injury scare during their Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. Brock Bowers tallied 103 receiving yards before exiting the 20-13 win early. The star tight end squashed any long-term concern, telling NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that he’s fine. Bowers got hit around his knee at the end of a 38-yard play late in the third quarter. He was spotted limping afterward and went into the team’s blue medical tent for further evaluation. Raiders head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Monday that Bowers is day-to-day. The 22-year-old has an extra week to recover…
Were you surprised to see Kayshon Boutte look like the Patriots’ best offensive player during their season opener against the Raiders? Boutte acknowledged some fans might’ve been taken aback by his Week 1 production. He wasn’t surprised, however. “I think people failed to realize that at one point in time I was a first-round pick,” Boutte said Monday morning after he caught six passes for 103 yards in a 20-13 loss at Gillette Stadium. It’s been a while since that point in time, of course, but Boutte’s reflection is accurate. A five-star recruit coming out of high school, Boutte was…
