BOSTON (AP) — John Korir outran the strongest field in Boston Marathon history and still had enough energy left to bounce around Boylston Street after learning he had blistered the course record, too.The defending champion rode a tailwind on Monday to the fastest finish in the race’s 130-year history, winning in 2 hours, 1 minute, 52 seconds. That was 70 seconds faster than Geoffrey Mutai’s then-world best in 2011, and the fifth-fastest marathon of all time.Korir said he knew he was on a record pace at the 40-kilometer mark, but he didn’t bother to check the clock as he crossed…
The Boston Red Sox offense woke up Monday to help salvage their four-game series against the Detroit Tigers with an 8-6 victory. Boston mustered only four runs across the first three games of the series. Left-hander Ranger Suarez carried the load in Friday’s 1-0 win with eight scoreless innings, but Brayan Bello and Garrett Crochet failed to make up for the lack of offense in Games 2 and 3. The Red Sox finally broke through with timely hitting — despite a glaring lack of power — in the series finale. Now 9-13 on the season, the Red Sox will welcome…

BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox starter Sonny Gray left because of right hamstring tightness in the third inning of Monday’s Patriots’ Day game against the Detroit Tigers.Gray had just walked Gleyber Torres when he started bending down, stretching and bending his right leg. Pitching coach Andrew Bailey and catcher Carlos Narváez came out to visit.Shortly after, manager Alex Cora and a trainer came out. Gray took a few warmup throws and, after a brief conversation, he walked off the field.“Sonny is going to get an MRI (Tuesday),” Cora said after Boston’s 8-6 victory. “We don’t think it’s serious.”Gray knew he wouldn’t be…

BOSTON — Asked to assess his first playoff game, just 11 months removed from the Achilles rupture that left his future so uncertain, Jayson Tatum basically shrugged off a dominant two-way effort in Game 1 of the Celtics’ Eastern Conference first-round series with the Philadelphia 76ers. “I’m still rehabbing,” said Tatum, then later added, “Still trying to ramp up.” If this is “Still Rehabbing” Tatum then … sheesh. Here are three storylines that stand out from Boston’s dominant Game 1, beginning with Tatum’s all-around prowess: Two-way menace Tatum totaled 25 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over just…
