Locked On Red Sox - Daily Podcast On The Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox lost their 2nd straight to the Tampa Bay Rays and 3rd in a row overall with a 7-2 loss to the Rays Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park.  The Red Sox are a game below .500 (80-81) with 1 more game to go for the 2024 Regular Season.  The Red Sox are now 6 games below .500 with a record of 37-43 at Fenway.

-----

On the Board 1st- Triston Casas got the Red Sox on the board with 1 big swing of the bat in the Bottom of the 1st.  Casas hit a solo Home Run off Rays starter, Shane Baz, that went into the seats above the Green Monster in leftfield. It's his 13th of the season and 2nd this season off Baz.    

-----

Kutter & The Home Run Ball: Kutter Crawford made his final start of the 2024 Regular Season Saturday afternoon.  Crawford gave up a 2-run Home Run to Junior Caminero in the 3rd Inning and that put the Rays up, 2-1.  It was the 34th Home Run allowed this season by Crawford, the most in the Majors. Crawford gave up RBI Singles to Caminero and Jonathan Aranda in the 5th and exited with 2 on and 1 out. Greg Weissert entered and gave up a 2-out, 2-run Single to Josh Lowe that made it 6-1 and it also closed the book on Crawford's day.  He ended up with the loss and ended the season with a 9-16 record and a 4.36 ERA.      

#50's Final Line- 4.1 IP. 5 H. 6 R. 6 ER. 4 BB. 6 K's. 1 HR allowed.      

-----

Scuffling at the Dish: Tyler O'Neill went 1-for-3 with 2 strikeouts on Saturday.  O'Neill collected a Single in the Bottom of the 9th to break an 0-for-27 at the plate.  O'Neill is now 2-for- his last 36 at the plate.  Mickey Gasper was in the lineup as the DH and went 0-for-4 and is now hitless in his 1st 16 Big League at-bats.    

----- 

A Look Ahead: The Rays and Red Sox wrap up their series and regular season Sunday afternoon at Fenway.  The Rays will look to complete the series sweep and the Red Sox will look to avoid the sweep and finish the season at .500.  The Rays are now 7-5 this season against the Red Sox and are 5-1 vs. the Red Sox at Fenway Park.    Probable Starting Pitchers:  

Ryan Pepiot vs. TBA. It's looking like Quinn Priester.  I'm hoping it's Quinn Priester!

-----

The Red Sox had 5 hits in Saturday's loss and have had 9 hits or less in 32 of their last 37 Games.

The Red Sox were held to 6 Hits and lost a 2-1 decision to the Tampa Bay Rays in the series opener Friday night at Fenway Park. Sox are 80-80 with 2 more games to go in the Regular Season.  The Sox are .500 for the 24th time this season.   

-----

On the Board 1st- Rays and Red Sox were scoreless until the Rays broke through in the Top of the 7th.  Jonathan Aranda reached with a 1-out walk and scored on an RBI Double off the bat of Josh Lowe.  On the play, Johnny DeLuca was thrown out trying to score from 1st.  DeLuca was out 8-6-2 for the 2nd out of the Inning.  That would be all for Pivetta, who left to a nice ovation in what may have been his final appearance with the Red Sox.  Zach Penrod entered with a runner on base.  Penrod walked and hit the 1st 2 hitters that he faced and then walked Christopher Morel to force in a run.  That run was charged to Pivetta and ended Penrod's night on the hill.  Luis Guerrero entered and got the final out to leave the bases loaded.   

# 37's Final Line- 6.2 IP. 4 Hits. 2 R. 2 ER. 1 BB. 6 Ks.

The Red Sox were unable to finish off the series sweep and dropped a 6-1 decision in the finale against the Blue Jays Wednesday night at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.  Loss snapped the Red Sox win streak at 4 in a row.  They never won more than 4 straight after the All-Star Break.  Sox took 2 of 3 in the Series, but failed to finish off a series sweep for the 4th time since the All-Star Break.  

-----

On the Board 1st: Just like he did Tuesday night, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. helped get the Blue Jays on the board 1st in the Series Finale Wednesday night.  Guerrero led off the Home 4th Inning with a Double and scored on a Double from Alejandro Kirk to put the Jays up, 1-0.  Kirk scored on an RBI Single from Ernie Clement to make it 2-0.  Kirk knocked in 2 more runs and made it 4-0 with a 2-out, 2-run Single in the 5th Inning.  Kirk was cut down at 2nd trying to stretch his Single into a Double, but he was thrown out at 2nd by right-fielder Wilyer Abreu.       

-----

Fitts On the Hill: Richard Fitts made his 4th start for the Red Sox in the Series Finale.  Fitts did not allow a run over the 1st 3 Innings of work.  He finally allowed his 1st Earned Run in the Big Leagues in the 4th Inning on Kirk's RBI Double.  He worked 18.2 Innings without allowing an Earned Run to start his Big League Career.  He left trailing 4-0 and ended up taking the loss.  Sox winless in his 1st 4 Big League Outings.  

#80's Final Line- 5.0 IP. 6 Hits. 4 R. 4 ER. 2 BB. 2 Ks.

-----

Sox On the Board: Red Sox got on the board against Blue Jays Starter Kevin Gausman in the Top of the 6th Inning.  Jarren Duran led off with a Double, his 48th of the season, and he scored on an RBI Single from Triston Casas.  Tyler O'Neill was up with 2 on and he hit into a 6-4-5 Double Play.  The Sox hit into their 2nd Double Play in 2 Innings in the 7th.  Connor Wong reached with a leadoff Single and was erased when pinch-hitter Vaughn Grissom hit into a 1-4-3 twin-killing.          ​

-----

Streak Over:  Sox Pitching Staff entered Wednesday having gone a season-high 7 straight games without allowing a Home Run.  That ended when Josh Winckowski gave up a 2-run Home Run to Jonatan Clase in the Botton of the 7th Inning and that made it, 6-1.  It was the 1st Big League round-tripper for Clase and the 10th Home Run allowed this season by Winckowski.

-----

Slumping at the Dish: Tyler O'Neill went 0-for-4 with 2 Strikeouts Wednesday night.  O'Neill is hitless in his last 24 at-bats and is 1-for-33.

-----

A Look Ahead: The Red Sox head home to Boston and have their final off day of the Regular Season on Thursday.  The Red Sox open up a 3-Game Series against the Tampa Bay Rays Friday night at Fenway Park.  

Probable Starting Pitchers:

Taj Bradley vs. Kutter Crawford

Shane Baz vs. Nick Pivetta

Ryan Pepiot vs. Tanner Houck

The Red Sox came from behind and ended up holding on for a 6-5, 10 Inning win over the Blue Jays Tuesday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto.  Sox clinch the series and win their 4th straight game.  The Red Sox also picked up their 80th win of the season and are 2 over .500 with 4 more to go.  Chase Shugart walked 2 hitters with 2 outs in the 10th including the 2nd with the bases loaded to force in a run.  Shugart came back and got the final out to leave the bases loaded.      

-----

3 In The 10th- Red Sox went in front for the 1st time in the game in the Top of the 10th.  Trevor Story Doubled in a run to put Boston in front, 4-3. Connor Wong brought in a run with a fielder's choice groundout.  Vaughn Grissom knocked in the 3rd run of the inning with an RBI Single.  

-----

2-Out Magic: Red Sox were blanked through the 1st 6 Innings by Bowden Francis and the Jays Bullpen.  The Sox finally got on the board in the 7th Inning.  Vaughn Grissom and Wilyer Abreu both worked 2-out walks.  Danny Jansen reached with an infield Single to load up the bases.  The next batter, Ceddanne Rafaela, knocked in 2 runs with a Single.  Rafaela picked up his 74th & 75th RBIs of the season with the Single. Jarren Duran then struck out to strand a pair of runners.  Red Sox evened up the game at 3-3 in the 8th Inning with Masa Yoshida picking up an RBI when he reached on a fielder's choice and bringing Romy Gonzalez in from 3rd base with less than 2 outs.   

-----

On the Board 1st: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. got the Blue Jays on the board 1st with a 2-out, 2-run Double in the Bottom of the 3rd Inning.  Guerrero now has 7 Doubles and 12 RBI in 12 games this season against the Red Sox.  

-----

Bello on the Bump:  Brayan Bello made what is likely his final start of the season on Tuesday night.  Bello gave up a pair of walks in the 3rd Inning including a 2-out walk in front of Guerrero, who delivered the 2-out knock that gave the Jays a 2-0 lead.  Bello came back and worked a 1-2-3 4th Inning before he called it a night.  Bello had a 5.55 ERA after his start against the Blue Jays (7 ER allowed in that outing) on June 25 and finishes the season with a 4.49 ERA.  Bello gave up 2 ER or less in 10 of his last 18 outings.    

#66's Final Line: 4.0 IP. 2 Hits. 2 R. 2 ER. 2 BB. 4 Ks.

-----

The Pen Story: Lucas Sims was the 1st out of the Bullpen for the Red Sox. Sims walked the leadoff hitter Davis Schneider and he eventually scored on a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0.  Justin Slaten got the 7th Inning and was able to work out of a 2nd & 3rd and 1-out jam by getting 2 groundball outs to end the Inning.  Luis Garcia and Luis Guerrero each worked scoreless frames.  Guerrero walked the leadoff hitter in the 8th and then got a groundball Double Play.  Chris Martin walked the leadoff hitter in the Bottom of the 9th and then got a Double Play and a strike out to send the game to Extra Innings.      ​

-----

A Look Ahead: The Red Sox conclude their final road series of the season Wednesday night in Toronto.  Sox are now 8-4 vs. the Blue Jays this season and are 5-0 at Rogers Centre. 

Probable Starting Pitchers:

Wednesday: Richard Fitts vs. Kevin Gausman.

On The Board: Red Sox scored single runs in 3 straight innings against Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt, who walked a career-high 7 hitters over 4.1 Innings.  Vaughn Grissom got the Sox on the board 1st with a Sacrifice Fly in the 2nd Inning.  Wilyer Abreu picked up his 58th RBI of the season with an RBI Double in the 3rd Inning.  Rafael Ceddanne made it 3-0 with an RBI groundout in the 4th.  Rafaela picked up his 2nd RBI of the game when he reached on a fielder's choice in the 8th inning and Connor Wong scored from 3rd.  

-----

Tanner's Night: Tanner Houck retired 14 in a row to open up the game.  Houck walked Addison Barger to give the Blue Jays their 1st base runner of the game.  The next hitter, Ernie Clement, reached with a single.  Houck came back and retired the next hitter to strand the 2 base runners. Houck went the 1st 5 Innings and departed with a 3-0 lead.  Houck picked up his 9th win of the season and his 1st since July 11 at home against the Oakland A's.  

#89's Final Line:  5.0 IP. 1 Hit. 0 R. 0 ER. 1 BB. 0 K. 57P/36 Strikes. 11 of 17 1st-pitch strikes.

1st Out of The Pen: Greg Weisser was the 1st in from the Red Sox bullpen Monday night.  Weissert allowed back-to-back singles to the 1st 2 hitters of the inning and then he got a groundball Double Play and a groundout from Vladimir Guerrero Jr.    

-----

Rest of The Pen: Zach Penrod and Luis Guerrero combined to get 3 outs in the 6th Inning.  Guerrero worked a perfect 8th Inning.  Blue Jays spoiled the Red Sox shutout bid with a run on 2 hits against Chris Martin in the 9th. Martin got a game-ending Double Play to put the Sox in the win column.

-----

Extra-Base Knocks: Jaren Duran collected his 17th game this season with multiple extra-base hits.  Duran had a hustle Double in the 4th, his 47th Double of the season.  Duran picked up his 14th Triple of the season in the 6th and he was left stranded.  He now has 82 Extra-Base Hits through 155 games played.    

-----

Had 'Em Loaded: Red Sox had the bases loaded with 1 out in the 5th Inning but Nick Sogard hit into an inning-ending Double Play.  The Sox have now had 107 opportunities with the bases loaded this season (Baseball Reference) and still haven't hit a Grand Slam.

Rafael Devers sidelined! The Boston Red Sox have shut down their star player due to left shoulder inflammation, but an MRI reveals no structural damage. Will he be ready for spring training? Meanwhile, Triston Casas delivers a stunning performance, hitting three home runs in his first three at-bats against the Minnesota Twins, driving in seven runs. Can he maintain this momentum?

The Red Sox also make strategic roster moves, recalling Vaughn Grissom from Triple-A as Rob Refsnyder hits the IL. Luis Garcia returns to the pitching staff, showing promise with a scoreless inning. Despite winning both games of the doubleheader, the Red Sox's playoff hopes hang by a thread, sitting four games back in the wild card race with just six games left.

Tune in to explore these developments and see if the Red Sox can defy the odds. Don't miss out on the latest insights and analysis!
