Nothing was coming easy for the Red Sox on Monday, but in the top of the ninth it looked as if the club finally broke through when Roman Anthony gave Boston a 4-3 lead with a gutsy RBI single off Minnesota Twins fireballer Jhoan Duran. Then the thunderstorms moved in and all hell broke loose. With the Red Sox three outs away from clinching their third straight victory, severe weather moved into the Minneapolis area, prompting a 90-minute rain delay. The game eventually resumed at 12:05 a.m. ET, at which point it only took a couple of minutes for right-hander…
FOXBORO — During Mike Vrabel’s six seasons as head coach in Tennessee, one of his most accomplished players was Kevin Byard, the two-time All-Pro safety. Though they play different positions on different sides of the ball, Vrabel sees a lot of Byard in one of the Patriots veterans he now coaches: tight end Hunter Henry. “(Henry is) a very comfortable player,” Vrabel said before Monday’s training camp practice. “Very similar to Kevin Byard. And you know I’m not big on comparisons, just talking about personalities. Kevin was really confident and comfortable. He never looked stressed. You would look and see…
The Sox are lookin’ to keep the good vibes going as they head to Minnesota to face Simeon Woods Richardson and the Twins behind Richard Fitts (7:40 p.m., NESN).

A win tonight and a Yankees loss would put the teams in a second-place tie. So let’s have that happen, mmmkay? Anyhow, Christian Vazquez! Friend! Source link

The Boston Red Sox are right behind the New York Yankees in the American League playoff picture. Boston’s long-time rival is expected to be one of the deadline’s most aggressive buyers, but an insider claimed the Bronx Bombers are pondering another path. The Yankees have reportedly “laid a little groundwork” for trading pending free agents, according to SNY’s Andy Martino. However, he’s “highly skeptical” the Yankees will sell at the deadline for the first time since 2016. Martino wrote Sunday that the Yankees would have given legitimate thought to selling had Aaron Judge suffered a season-ending injury. The reigning AL…
