Boston’s Matt Barnes ejected after pitch sails behind Manny Machado

The injuries occurred when he was spiked by Manny Machado on Friday night.

Pedroia, a four-time All-Star, left after hurting his knee. Then, third baseman Manny Machado, who had injured Boston’s Dustin Pedroia by sliding into his left knee two nights before, stepped in.

Farrell was so angered over Machado’s action that he called the league office, seeking clarification about the rule created to protect infielders from late and aggressive slides. “It was a late slide”.

Perhaps all involved would do well just to listen to Pedroia when he talks. “I was trying to get one out, so I just put my foot on the back part of the base to get that out”. “I thought I did a pretty good job of settling in after that”.

The weekend’s series between the Orioles and Red Sox almost escalated on Sunday after a pitch at Manny Machado’s head sparked yelling from across the dugouts.

“You don’t want that to happen”.

Pomeranz was aided by a great play from Pedroia, who was on the outfield grass due to the shift, when Chris Davis scorched a ground ball up the middle. “You can just see it”. He has eight homers in 17 big league games over two seasons. He allowed six hits with three strikeouts and one walk over seven-plus innings. Across four starts this year, Gausman has a 1-1 record and a 7.23 ERA in 18.2 innings.

After Bundy yielded a leadoff single in the eighth, Donnie Hart walked pinch-hitter Chris Young before getting two straight outs.

Xander Bogaerts and Andrew Benintendi opened the game with back-to-back singles, and Mookie Betts launched a three-run homer to left field. “But I’m just thankful to the Orioles for this opportunity and allowing me to start a game at the major league level”.

There’s no denying that he intentionally came in with his cleats up on the slide.

It’s no secret that the Red Sox and Orioles don’t like each other.

Edwin Encarnacion and Michael Brantley hit two-run home runs and Jose Ramirez added a solo shot as the Indians won their fifth straight game. In three separate innings last night Bundy worked his way out of situations with runners in scoring position, to finish the game with seven scoreless innings. Moreland came up empty 0-for-3 on Saturday, while Jackie Bradley slapped a two-run homer. How will that effect this new season for these teams is the question.

The first four batters reached base against him.

At that point, it appeared Wright was more than capable of protecting the lead.

Wainwright (1-3) had struggled on the mound this season, but showed better command against the Brewers.

Rodriguez is making his first start since April 13 after taking a paternity leave and is looking to complete six innings for the first time this season. He’s allowed 26 hits in 18 2/3 innings and opponents are batting.329 against him.
