NEW YORK – In two of his three regular season starts against the Yankees, Brayan Bello gave the Red Sox seven shutout innings. In Game 2 of the Wild Card series on Wednesday night, seven was a decidedly less magical number; it was how many pitchers Alex Cora used in the 4-3 loss. Bello was one out into the third inning when he saw Cora striding determinedly to the mound. The Red Sox right-hander had faced 11 men and thrown 28 pitches, 17 for strikes. The Yankees tagged him for two earned runs, in the form of a two-run homer…

NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. zipped all the way home from first base on Austin Wells’ tiebreaking single in the eighth inning, and the New York Yankees extended their season Wednesday night with a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox in Game 2 of their AL Wild Card Series.Unhappy he was left out of the starting lineup in the opener, Chisholm also made a couple of critical defensive plays at second base that helped the Yankees send the best-of-three playoff to a decisive Game 3 on Thursday night in the Bronx.In the latest chapter of baseball’s most storied rivalry,…
The Boston Red Sox lost game two of the Wild Card series to the New York Yankees in part due to sloppy baseball. In the bottom of the fifth inning with two outs and a runner on second base, Aaron Judge hit a soft fly ball to left field. Jarren Duran charged the ball and went into a dive, only for the ball to hit off his glove and drop in for a hit. With two outs, Trent Grisham was running on the play. With Duran on the ground, he couldn’t recover in time to attempt to throw the runner…

NEW YORK — The Red Sox pushed Garrett Whitlock as far as he could go, but the usually stellar right-hander ran out of gas. With Game 2 of the AL Wild Card series tied 3-3, Whitlock entered in the bottom of the seventh and posted a scoreless frame against the heart of the Yankees order. But with his team needing three more outs to bridge the gap to the ninth, Whitlock returned for the eighth but came up one out short, walking Jazz Chisholm with two outs before allowing the go-ahead and eventual game-winning single to Austin Wells. The end…
FOXBORO — The Patriots were missing two veteran starters at practice Wednesday. Safety Jaylinn Hawkins (hamstring) and outside linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson (knee) both did not participate. DT Christian Barmore (not injury related/other), DT Milton Williams (ankle) and G Jared Wilson (ankle/knee) were limited in Wednesday’s session. LT Will Campbell (shoulder), LB Marte Mapu (neck), RG Mike Onwenu (shoulder) and Tavai were full participants. The statuses of Chaisson, Hawkins and Wilson bear monitoring this week. If Wilson can’t play, then Ben Brown would fill in at left guard. Hawkins’ spot would likely be filled by veteran safety Kyle Dugger. Keion White…
FOXBORO — Stefon Diggs knows what it’s like. After four years with the Bills, he’s seen teams visit Orchard Park and briefly lose their faculties thanks in part to the environment stirred up by Buffalo’s fanbase. “It’s crazy because, you know, being on the other side of it, I saw it,” Diggs said Wednesday. “I witnessed it, multiple times, week in and week out just being on the other side.” Diggs and the Patriots will play in front of what’s expected to be a raucous crowd on Sunday Night Football — a crowd which may be particularly riled up to…
The New England Patriots dominated the Carolina Panthers in Week 4, but they have to quickly turn their attention to Week 5, because they have a difficult matchup against the Buffalo Bills on their hands. Since the fall of the Patriots’ dynasty, the Bills have emerged as the top team in the AFC East, having won the division each of the past five years. Buffalo hasn’t lost a game yet this season, which goes to show just how tough this game is going to be for New England. Nobody knows better than Stefon Diggs how talented the Bills are. Diggs…
NEW YORK — When Alex Bregman and Trevor Story took the field at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday for Game 1 of the AL Wild Card series, neither was anywhere close to 100%. Not due to injury or a season’s worth of wear and tear, but because of a viral illness that has been working its way through the Red Sox family over the past few days. Bregman came down ill first and traveled to New York separate from the rest of the team in order to avoid getting his teammates sick. He arrived shortly before first pitch on Tuesday, by…
NEW YORK (AP) — Lucas Giolito doesn’t appear to have structural damage to his right elbow but is unlikely to pitch for the Boston Red Sox during the postseason.A 31-year-old right-hander, Giolito was left off Boston’s roster for the Wild Card Series against the New York Yankees because of elbow pain and was examined by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas at the Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center. Dugas repaired the ulnar collateral ligament in Giolito’s right elbow with internal brace surgery on March 12 last year.“From everything I am hearing there’s no structural damage, which is great, right? There’s a slim chance he…
