Ceddanne Rafaela has made encouraging progress at the plate during a recent hot streak. The Boston Red Sox may like to see the young outfielder keep up Saturday’s out-of-character results. Rafaela was Boston’s only starter to go hitless in a 10-7 victory over the New York Yankees, but he also drew two walks. Those are noticeable outcomes for the free swinger. Before Saturday, Rafaela hadn’t garnered a walk since May 23. The 24-year-old had gone 12 games and 49 plate appearances without inducing a ball four. Furthermore, Saturday marked Rafaela’s second two-walk game in 241 career MLB contests. He last…
Brad Marchand continues to make a huge impact on the success of the Florida Panthers in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. After scoring a power-play goal in the Panthers’ 4-3 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night, the veteran left wing scored on a shorthanded breakaway in Game 2 on Saturday night. It was Marchand’s ninth career goal in the Stanley Cup Final, moving him ahead of Ondrej Palat, Evgeni Malkin and Corey Perry for the most among active players. The all-time leader in Cup Final goals scored is Montreal…
The Patriots wrapped up their three weeks of voluntary organized team activities practices and now are onto mandatory minicamp before taking a six-week break. Let’s preview minicamp with the latest installment of a Patriots mailbag. @DrakeMayeForMVP: How has Maye looked after the 4 INT day? Most importantly: improved. Growing pains are natural with a new offensive coordinator in a new offense, and I think that’s what we were seeing early on with Drake Maye during OTAs, when he threw four interceptions in his first eight passing attempts in the first spring practice open to the media. Since then, Maye avoided…
By JEROME PUGMIRE PARIS (AP) — A little bit of self-persuasion went a very long way for Coco Gauff, whose victory at the French Open gave the 21-year-old American a trophy she has long coveted, and a second major title. Gauff defeated top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 on Saturday to add to her U.S. Open title two years ago. Sabalenka had been the more in-form player heading into the final and Gauff felt she needed some extra motivation. So she drew inspiration from Gabby Thomas, who became the women’s Olympic 200-meter champion at last year’s Paris Olympics. Thomas…
Boston Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins made himself a ton of new fans on Saturday. No, he didn’t go seven shutout innings or anything like that, but he did drop an all-time quote one night before his debut against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. “This is one that I’ve had circled for a long time,” Dobbins told Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. “I’ve said it before, that if the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I’d retire.” Oh. Hell. Yeah. Dobbins, 25, has already ingratiated himself nicely to local fans, making nine total…
I’m intimidated by Jake Reiser calling this the most important weekend of the Red Sox season to date. One, I had a last-minute scramble to recap this game, due to the broadcast moving to FOX. They shut me out from even listening on radio! As a cable cutter with no fixed TV provider, I’m not thrilled when the games move around, especially on Crochet Day. But no radio…come on. Two, I’m impaired by a very boring but acute medical situation. If I say anything too weird, let’s blame it on the meds. But then again the Red Sox have been…
Why can’t the Red Sox win any one-run games? That question sums up the Red Sox’s season so far, which has been a massive disappointment largely because the club has come up short in so many close games. Entering Saturday the Red Sox were 6-17 in one-run games, which is the most such losses of any team in baseball, accounting for nearly half of the club’s total 35 losses. Had the club flipped a few of those the other way, the Red Sox could easily be in playoff position right now instead of 10.5 games out of first place in…
NEW YORK (AP) — Trevor Story had five RBIs, Garrett Crochet struck out Aaron Judge three times and the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 10-7 on Saturday night to even their weekend series at one game apiece.Story hit a three-run double for 5-3 lead in a five-run third against Ryan Yarbrough (3-1) and, after the Yankees closed to 10-7, added a two-run single in the ninth off Ian Hamilton.In his first career start at Yankee Stadium, Crochet (6-4) allowed a season-high five runs and six hits in six innings, striking out nine and walking one. He has…
Boston Red Sox rookie Carlos Narváez’s emergence caught many by surprise, but there was at least one man who saw it coming. It’s the enemy… “He’s hitting fourth. I don’t know if I saw that coming, but I know how much I love the player and the person,” New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said prior to Friday night’s matchup at Yankee Stadium, as seen on NESN. “I’m not surprised he’s having success, this is a really talented catcher, a really smart guy with an amazing head on his shoulders — an amazing person. “I’m not surprised by his success,…
