Red Sox Drop Two Of Three Against The Yankees

But Moreland has other plans with the first baseman being a nice little addition to this Red Sox lineup.

Kinsler’s RBI single after Upton’s homer capped Detroit’s five-run fifth. Daniel Norris gets the ball, and he is 2-4 with a 4.48 ERA and 55 strikeouts this season. He had a 1.070 OPS this month heading into Sunday’s game, a figure that surely went up after he finished 3-for-5 with five RBI.

The Red Sox improve to 34-27 with the win. He bounced back well enough afterwards that the Red Sox let him start the seventh, but he was charged with an unearned run then after being replaced by Blaine Boyer.

Josh Donaldson went three for five with three RBIs and two runs scored in Sunday’s win over the Mariners.

Red Sox utility infielder Brock Holt and Farrell joined the presentation. Kyle Kendrick hasn’t even pitched well at Triple-A Pawtucket. The Red Sox outscored the Tigers 16-6 in winning the first two games of the series.

The Globe’s most recent sports headlines delivered to your inbox every morning. Cain was three for five with five RBIs in a 12-6 victory. The Tigers took four of seven from the Sox this season.

Rick Porcello and Jerad Eickhoff are both in desperate need of turnarounds when the Boston Red Sox begin a home-and-home series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night at Fenway Park.

Pomeranz has been on a tear recently, as he’s given up just five earned runs in his last 22 innings of work and has given up just two runs in each of his last four home starts.

Zimmerman remained in the game and threw 94 pitches. He kept the Braves off the board for three innings before giving up a single run in the fourth. It was his eighth of the season. Mookie Betts is 0-for-12, Dustin Pedroia 3-for-25 (.120) and Hanley Ramirez 2-for-10 (.200).

The Sox got another run back in the third inning but missed a chance for more. This time around, it started on a solid double from Justin Upton, who would come around to score on a bloop single to center field. Betts stopped at third.

Said Pomeranz: “You get out of the first bases-loaded (situation) and then I get taken out in the next bases-loaded one”.

But when J.D. Martinez walked against Pomeranz, Upton had a shot at piling on, like an ice cream sundae, some sweet numbers on what is becoming a big offensive year for the Tigers left fielder. He went to Heath Hembree to face Upton.

He caught a 2-2, outside-corner fastball from Pomeranz and steered it on an arc toward the corner.

Upton’s grand slam to the opposite field was a rarity for him. Andrew Benintendi followed with a single and scored on Jackie Bradley’s single to left. He did give them the lead with a sacrifice fly to make it a 3-2 lead.

Vazquez’s run-scoring single in the sixth cut the Red Sox’s deficit to 8-3.

Despite Sale’s incredible command, insane number of strikeouts, his records and simply dominant pitching style, there are still reasons that members of the BBWAA could pick apart in order to end up electing someone other than Chris Sale for the 2017 AL Cy Young Award.
