WORCESTER — The last time Tanner Houck took the mound he wasn’t himself. The Red Sox right-hander allowed 11 runs in one of the worst outings of his career and was placed on the 15-day injured list two days later. Making his first appearance since that May 12 debacle, Houck looked much better. Houck allowed one run over one-plus innings in Wednesday’s rehab outing with the WooSox, allowing two hits and a walk without striking out a batter. Houck needed 27 pitches to complete the top of the first, getting two quick outs before allowing a pair of singles, and…

The Boston Red Sox got back in the win column on Wednesday by defeating the Seattle Mariners 3-1 with left-hander Garrett Crochet earning his seventh victory of the season. Crochet gave the Red Sox exactly what they needed following an 8-0 blowout loss the previous night. In six innings of work, he surrendered one run on six hits, while striking out eight and not allowing a walk over 96 pitches. Speaking about Crochet’s performance during a post-game studio segment, former Major League pitcher and current MLB Network analyst Dan Plesac was quick to shower the hard-throwing southpaw with praise following…
It has been a very explosive, dramatic, eventful, and emotional few days. The Raffy trade remains the hot topic and will continue to be so in the coming days and maybe weeks. The 2025 Sox roster quieted the narrative that they’d suffer without Devers in Game 1, and then proceeded to get completely shut out in Game 2. The Sox have been averaging less than 3 runs a game going back to the Yankees series. Can the bats come fully alive today? Will said bats support a Crochet effort? Can we get this series win, or will the Mariners pitching…
WORCESTER – From Sunday Night Baseball to a stunning Sunday night trade, it’s been a “crazy” 48 hours for Kyle Harrison. The 23-year-old left-hander was about 20 minutes away from starting for the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium when he was told to leave the field. “Just crazy. They’re like, ‘can you go talk to the manager real quick?’,” he said. “The first moment, I was like, ‘man, why are they bugging me 20 minutes before?’ I’m like, maybe they got a little inside trick for where they want me to attack these guys, but no it’s the complete opposite…
The Red Sox and Mariners motored through Thursday’s rubber match in Seattle. It took Boston just two hours and 14 minutes to complete a 3-1 victory for their fourth consecutive series win. Walker Buehler’s early implosion in Wednesday night’s loss had snapped Boston’s streak of quality starts, but Garrett Crochet began anew. After issuing five walks on 110 pitches when he faced the Mariners at Fenway on April 24, Boston’s new ace was unyielding in Thursday’s finale: he held the home team to one earned run on six hits and struck out eight in his six innings. Crochet threw 96…
The Boston Red Sox lineup took a hit when the team sent Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants in a stunning trade on Sunday night. However, they could be getting a much-needed boost in the near future from star third baseman Alex Bregman. Nearly a month ago on May 23, Bregman suffered a right quad strain that forced him to the injured list, and it was revealed that he was going to miss an extended period of time. In his absence, the team promoted one of their top prospects, Marcelo Mayer, to fill in at third base. While Bregman’s…

LONDON (AP) — British tennis player Katie Boulter says she received death threats during the French Open targeting her and her family, as the WTA and ITF on Tuesday called on betting companies to do more to stem the flood of online abuse players face on social media. Boulter told the BBC in an interview that online abuse has become the norm and that she thinks many of the messages are sent by people who are placing bets on tennis matches. Her comments coincided with the WTA and ITF publishing a first season-wide report into online abuse, showing that 458…
By The Associated Press The Florida Panthers are back-to-back Stanley Cup champions after defeating the Edmonton Oilers in their rematch final. They needed just six games this time after a seven-game thriller a year ago. Here are the numbers to know about the repeat: 3 — Teams that have won consecutive titles since the NHL salary cap era began in 2005. The Panthers join the Tampa Bay Lightning (2020-21) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2016-17). 19 — Teams in league history that have won the Cup two or more times in a row. 5 — Championships by teams based in the…
The Boston Red Sox saw their six-game winning streak come to an end on Tuesday following an 8-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners. The offense didn’t record a hit until the 5th inning, but the game was out of hand long before that. Starting pitcher Walker Buehler pitched a clean first inning, but ran into trouble in the second when he issued three walks and a couple of hits before allowing a grand slam to Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh. After the game, Buehler gave a very matter-of-fact assessment of his performance. “At the end of the day it sucks to…
