During game 2 of the series with the Yankees, David Price came out with an injury after giving up 4 runs. He finished the first inning but did not return in the second, and Poyner went in. He only had 30 pitches at that time. It is being announced he left because precautionary reasons but he had a "sensation" in his left hand. Hopefully he will not miss any time, and be ready for his next start. I do not think that he will miss any extended time. His hand went numb during the game. Price says that it happens all the time during cold weather. He is reportedly making his next start on Tuesday and is having no set backs. Game 1: 14-1 Sox. Yankees losing by almost two touchdowns, hate to see that. Stanton striking out twice against Sale, you hate to see that too. Sale has got one run in support the last two starts so I guess the offense owed him one. They gave him 14 runs... He only gave up a solo homerun to Judge in the 5th, while pitching 6 innings with 8 strikeouts. It is only three starts into the season but he looks like already in mid season form. The lineup was the same as usual but only missed Bogaerts because of the ankle injury. Holt took his spot this game and batted ninth. Everyone got in the offensive attack and had a hit (except Holt). It was mainly the top of the order, they were on FIRE. Betts went 4 for 4 with 4 RBI and a grand slam in the 6th inning, Benintendi went 2 for 2 with 2 RBI, and Hanley went 2 for 2 with 3 RBI. This game should prove all the doubters wrong, the Redsox are legit. They have the best MLB record and have a 9 game win streak. Things to note: Joe Kelly pitched a perfect 7th, and Johnson pitched a perfect 8th and 9th, Dustin Pedroia will go to FT. Myers next Tuesday for extended spring training, Lin replaced Nunez in the 7th and shifted to short while Holt went to 2B, Swihart replaced Ramirez at 1B, Ramirez got his 3rd stolen base of the season only 29 HR and 27 SB for 30-30, Happy Sale Day, #WINTITSREPEAT Game 2: 10-7 NYY This game started off really bad but was really fun by the end. There goes the winning streak too but huge fight by this team right to the end of the game. The lineup changes highlighted by Martinez in LF, Moreland at 1B, Hanley at DH, Holt at shortstop, and Benintendi sitting. Price gave up 4 early in the 1st inning and got taken out by a sensation in his throwing hand. Hanley hit a HR in the 1st. Poyner gave up one and Hembree gave up 3. JD finally proved his worth in Boston with a grandslam in the 5th to get to two but Barnes gave up two more because of Vazquez bad catching and error. Then the 7th inning came... THERE WAS A FIGHT IN THE 7TH! This was because of the slide by Austin to Holt like Machado did with Pedroia. Kelly hit Austin in the back in the 7th inning and Austin charged the mound. I have huge respect for Kelly after this game. He threw some hard punches and was bleeding after a result of the fight. Kelly, Austin, and one of the New York coaches were ejected after the fight. I thought that the stare down between Benintendi and Gray after the National Anthem was the only thing for the rivalry but I was very wrong. I am curious to note if the Yankees are going to do anything tomorrow to retaliate. It is going to be really interesting... Things to note: Holt got his first hit in the 5th, the team used every reliever except Kimbrel, Cora did not use Velazquez however because he is supposed to be pitching on Saturday, Vazquez committed the team's first error of the season, Cora with a questionable decision pinchhitting Leon for Holt in the bottom of the 9th with second and third with no outs, with Benintendi and Swihart on the bench, RIVALRY IS BACK!!!! Game 3: 6-3 Sox
I was at this game for this one. The place was electric for the rivalry. There is no place like Fenway Park. Before the game Poyner was put on the 10 day DL and Walden was called up from AAA. His optioned did not get effected because it was less than 10 days. Holt is still at Shortstop but there changes in the lineup. Porcello looked like Porcylo from throwing a no hitter through the 7th but Judge broke it up and Stanton got a hit as well in that inning but he threw 7, 2 hit, shutout innings. He got the W. He even had a perfect game through 10 outs but hit Stanton with one out in the 4th. The Yankees defense is not too good, you hate to see that... Sanchez is a mess behind the plate and Stanton missed played a ball in LF that contributed to runs. Nunez and JBJ got going in this game, which was encouraging to see. Hanley in the first inning got hit on the hand and got taken out of the game. X rays were negative though. Moreland replaced him and did well, going 2 for 3 with an RBI. The Redsox were cruising through the 9th but that is when it got scary. Walden gave up 3 runs and Kimbrel had to come in. Kimbrel had a clean inning and picked up the save for the win! Things to note: There was a rain delay after the 5th inning (took 45 min), Porcello had a no hitter through the 5th inning and went back out after the rain delay in the 6th, Nunez got taken out for Holt and Lin took Holt's place at shortstop after the rain delay, Devers had 2 errors, Kimbrel still has a 0 ERA on the season, Kimbrel has the best walk up song on the Redsox that I heard
