Red Sox News

Willson Contreras is eyeing his first Silver Slugger with the Red Sox, but he faces stiff competition from Yankees' Ben Rice as the teams continue their rivalry with a crucial doubleheader. In a much-needed boost, the Red Sox activated Garrett Whitlock from the injured list, adding depth to a pitching staff that just saw rookie Jake Bennett deliver a scintillating scoreless gem in the first game of the day-night doubleheader, leading to a 6-0 victory. With Wilyer Abreu smashing his 23rd homer, the offense is starting to wake up, just in time for the anticipated returns of Roman Anthony and Trevor Story. As the Red Sox cling to their playoff hopes at 73-61, every game against New York counts.

Sox shut out Yankees in Game 1, 6-0
Recap The Sox jumped out to a sweet, sweet lead in the first with Wilyer Abreu’s twenty-third home run, a career high. Jake Bennett went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning and damn it felt good. He did the same in the second. He threw a fantastic game, in fact, keeping the Yankees off-balance […]
