This one was closer than it should have been. The Red Sox were down 5-0 through five batters and down 6-0 headed into the second inning, but it was against the Angels, who excel at losing in sad ways, so the deficit was never truly safe, even if Richard Fitts had the worst first inning for a Red Sox pitcher in Fenway Park history. The Sox came back to make it 6-5 and looked to have the momentum before the Angels immediately went back up 7-5, which turned to 7-6 on a Ceddanne Rafaela homer in the eighth, but the…

Fresh off a badly needed series victory in Atlanta, the Red Sox came into Monday riding renewed momentum as they opened a crucial three-game homestand against the Los Angeles Angels. The good vibes lasted all of about five pitches. The Angels ambushed Richard Fitts for three home runs in a calamitous six-run first inning, chasing the Red Sox starter from the game after only three outs in what ended up being a 7-6 loss. Even with the horrible start the Red Sox still nearly came all the way back, twice drawing to within one run, but the club couldn’t get…

The Red Sox dropped four games below .500 after losing a 7-6 decision Monday night to the Los Angeles Angels at Fenway Park. Boston dropped to 6-16 in one-run games and 16-15 at home, but despite the record, Jarren Duran feels that being in close games is actually a good thing for Boston. “Personally, I think it says that we’re a really, really good team, and we’ve been in a lot of games, but we just got to get over that hump,” Duran told reporters after the loss. “I mean, we got a lot of young guys that are just…

FOXBORO – David Andrews thought he could get through it. The former New England co-captain had prepared 10 minutes of remarks meant to sum up his football career and thank those who helped make him – an undersized, undrafted center – a two-time Super Bowl champion and pillar of the Patriots organization. But seconds after he walked to the podium in his tucked-in button-down shirt, blue jeans and cowboy boots, hair and beard far more kempt than it was for most of his playing days, Andrews broke down. The same hand he used to snap to Tom Brady now covered…
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs became a topic of discussion last week after a viral video surfaced that showed him on a boat during Memorial Day weekend surrounded by three women with an unidentified pink substance in his possession. Scott Zolak of 98.5 The Sports Hub noted last Friday that the Patriots were at least considering the possibility of releasing the veteran wide receiver, saying on Zolak & Bertrand: “It’s not just the boat. There are some other things that I’ve heard that put some things in question. Are you all-in here?” But it doesn’t sound like there will be much fallout…
FOXBORO — With one week left until mandatory minicamp, the Patriots again fielded a near complete roster at a voluntary practice thanks to one notable addition. Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs took the field Monday for the team’s latest Organized Team Activities (OTAs), running and cutting through positional drills and later catching passes from the quarterbacks. Diggs nabbed a few balls from Drake Maye, who enjoyed his best practice of the spring. Diggs did not participate in any of the competitive 11-on-11 periods, but nonetheless appears to be ahead of schedule recovering from the ACL tear he suffered last October.…
Austin Ainge left the Boston Celtics to join his father in the Utah Jazz’s front office on Monday. Ainge might not be the only member of the Celtics to go from Boston to Utah this offseason, though. Given the intimate knowledge Austin Ainge and Jazz CEO and alternate governor Danny Ainge have of the Celtics, MassLive’s Brian Robb believes Utah could emerge as a viable trade partner with Boston, which is trying to shed salary to get under the second apron. And according to Robb, the Jazz might have their eyes on two Celtics players about to hit the trade…
