“DIARY OF A WINNER” |
THE BEST RED SOX TEAM EVAH! ... August 24, 2018 ... The The Sox Red Sox had a lot of hits again. However, they couldn't put them together to get a lot of scoring. Willy Adames homered, Michael Perez drove in four runs and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Red Sox 10-3. Perez had a two-run double in the second and a two-run single in Tampa Bay's five-run third. His four RBIs matched his total in his first 20 games. The Rays had six consecutive singles in the third against Hector Velazquez. Ji-Man Choi and Adames scored in three straight innings for the Rays. Adames' eighth home run off reliever Drew Pomeranz put the Rays up 10-2 in the fourth. Rookie Jalen Beeks, The Sox's minor league pitcher of the year last season before his trade to Tampa Bay for Nathan Eovaldi on July 25, won for the second time six days against his former team. Beeks (3-1) gave up three runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings in relief of starter Diego Castillo. Velazquez (7-2) gave up eight runs and nine hits in 2 2/3 innings to raise his earned run average from 2.74 to 3.69. Xander Bogaerts had three hits for the Red Sox, including an RBI single in the third that gave him 15 RBIs against Tampa Bay this season. The The Sox shortstop is hitting .421 in his last 15 games. J.D. Martinez drove in his major league-leading 110th run of the season with a single in the fifth for the Red Sox, who went into the game with a 9 1/2-game lead in the AL East before losing for the fourth time in six games. The Sox finished with 13 hits, reaching double digits for the fourth time in five games Chris Sale (shoulder inflammation) might resume throwing as soon as this weekend. Steven Wright, out two months due to left knee inflammation, threw live batting practice Friday. |
