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

Triston Casas was out of the Boston Red Sox lineup again on Monday night when the Baltimore Orioles had a left-handed starting pitcher on the mound. It was the third time in six games he wasn't in the lineup against a left-handed starter. On today's show, Gabby talks about Alex Cora's explanation for the decision and whether we should be concerned about Casas. She also discusses Liam Hendriks' setback and new timeline for return, as well as him being the team nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award, and she talks about the Red Sox trading infielder Eddy Alvarez to the New York Mets for cash considerations.

The Red Sox got back in the win column with a 12-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the series opener Monday night at Fenway Park.  The Sox hit 4 Home Runs in their 73rd win of the season. Brayan Bello worked into the 6th and picked up his team-best 13th win.  Sox are 3-1 on their current 6-Game Homestand.              

-----

Bello's Night on the Bump: Brayan Bello made the start against the Orioles in the opener against the Orioles.  Bello gave up a run in the 1st Inning and was able to limit the damage.  Anthony Santander knocked in the game's 1st run with an RBI single.  Bello walked Adley Rutschman to load up the bases with 1 out and he came back and struck out the next 2 hitters to leave the bases loaded.  Bello ran into trouble in the Top of the 4th by walking 2 hitters and hitting a batter. He issued his 3rd walk of the Inning to Santander and that brought in a run.  Bello left the bases loaded for the 2nd time on the night by getting the final out on a fly out.  Bello retired the leadoff hitter in the 6th and was lifted from the game.  He exited with a 4-2 lead. 

#66's Final Line- 5.1 IP. 3 Hits. 2 R. 2 ER. 5 BB. 5 K. 0 HR. 101 P/62 Strikes.   

-----

Quick Response: Sox came right back and evened the game at 1-1 in the home 1st Inning against Orioles starter, Cade Povich.  Rafael Devers singled and went 1st to 3rd on a Double from Rob Refsnyder.  Tyler O'Neill brought in Devers from 3rd with an RBI groundout.  Refsnyder was left in scoring position.  

-----

Back-to-Back Bombs:  Sox went in front against Povich and the Orioles on the Bottom of the 3rd Inning.  Rob Refsnyder hit a 2-run Home Run and Tyler O'Neill followed with a solo Home Run.  

-----

Adding On: Sox sent 9 hitters to the plate in the 6th Inning and came away with 4 runs.  Ceddanne Rafaela came through with a 2-run single with the bases loaded and 3 hitters later it was Rob Refsnyder knocking in 2 more runs with a 2-run single again with the bases full.  Rafaela knocked in 2 more runs with a Double in the 7th to make it a 10-3 ballgame. Refsnyder and O'Neill went back-to-back in the 8th Inning. Refsnyder went 4-for-4 with a Double, 2 Home Runs, a Single, a Walk & 5 RBIs.  It's the 9th time this season with the Sox going Back-to-Back with Home Runs (1st time where they did it twice in 1 Game) and the 6th time that O'Neill has been involved.         

-----

Out of the Pen: Brennan Bernardino was the 1st out of the Red Sox pen Monday night.  He gave up a pinch-hit Double, retired Gunnar Henderson on a Fly-Out and got Austin Slater on a ground out to leave a runner at 2nd-Base. Josh Winckowski gave up a solo Home Run to Santander to leadoff the 7th to make it 7-3 and ended up leaving 2 runners stranded. Winckoski worked a 1-2-3 8th and did the same in the 9th to close the door on the Orioles.      

-----

A Look Ahead: The Red Sox have 2 more games against the Orioles and 18 games remaining on the Regular Season schedule.  With Monday night's win, the Red Sox are 4-7 vs. the Orioles on the season.    

Probable Starting Pitchers:

Tuesday:  RHP Albert Suarez vs. Kutter Crawford.

Wednesday: RHP Dean Kremer vs. Nick Pivetta. 

-----

Locked On Red Sox POSTCAST Notes:

Red Sox improve to 23-48 when the opposition scores 1st.  Sox are 19-18 vs. the AL East with the win in Monday night's series opener.

The Red Sox failed to complete a series sweep over the White Sox on Sunday afternoon and dropped the finale, 7-2, at Fenway Park. It's the 3rd time since the All-Star Break where the Red Sox were unable to pull off a series sweep.  Zack Kelly gave up 5 runs in the 9th Inning and he took the loss.               

-----

Fitts Debut: Richard Fitts was told Saturday that he was being called up to make his MLB debut in Sunday's finale against the White Sox. The 24-year-old pitched in front of family and friends and did not allow a run over the 1st 5 Innings and exited with 2 outs in the 6th.  Fitts was charged with 2 runs in his final inning, and both runs were unearned.  Fitts got out of 2 jams by getting inning-ending Double Plays in the 4th and again in the 5th.  He ended up with a no-decision in his 1st start in the Big Leagues.  Fitts is the 9th player and youngest to make his MLB for the Red Sox this season.   

#80's Line: 5.2 IP. 6 Hits. 2 R. 0 ER. 1 BB. 2 K. 66 P/44 Strikes.            

-----

Out of the Pen- Greg Weissert, who was also involved in the Red Sox & Yankees trade that sent Alex Verdugo to the Yankees, and Fitts to the Red Sox last offseason, entered with a runner at 3rd in relief of Fitts in the 6th.  Weissert allowed an infield single to Korey Lee that brought in Luis Robert Jr. from third and that gave the White Sox a 2-1 lead. 

-----

Quick Response- After falling behind for the 1st time on the day, the Red Sox tied the game at 2-2 on a 2-out, Home Run from Wilyer Abreu in the Home 6th Inning.  It was Abreu's 15th of the season and his 1st in 19 Games.

-----

Sox on the Board 1st:  The Red Sox had Jarren Duran cut down at the plate and Wilyer Abreu caught stealing (1-5) in the 1st Inning.  Sox got on the board with the game's 1st run in the 2nd on a 2-out, solo Home Run from Connor Wong. It was Wong's 13th Home Run of the season and 10th solo shot.     

-----

A Look Ahead: The Red Sox open up a 3-Game Series against the Baltimore Orioles Monday night at Fenway Park.  The Red Sox are 3-7 vs. the Orioles this season.  Orioles swept a 3-Game Series at Fenway Park on the 1st Homestand of the season back in April   

Probable Starting Pitchers:

Monday: LHP Cade Povich vs. Brayan Bello.

Tuesday:  RHP Albert Suarez vs. Kutter Crawford.

Wednesday: RHP Dean Kremer vs. Nick Pivetta. 

-----

Locked On Red Sox POSTCAST Notes: With Sunday's loss, the Red Sox are now 50-23 when scoring 1st this season.  The Red Sox went 4-3 vs. the White Sox this season.  Red Sox have 19 games left in the Regular Season with 9 more at Fenway and 10 on the road.

The Red Sox made it back-to-back wins with a 7-5 victory over the White Sox Saturday night at Fenway Park.  Tyler O'Neill went deep 2 times and Cooper Criswell worked 5 innings in the start.  The Red Sox are still 5 games below .500 at home (33-38) but have won 4 of their last 5 at Fenway.      

-----

On the Board 1st: The White Sox got on the board 1st for the 2nd straight night and Saturday night it was Andrew Vaughn hitting a 2-out, 2-run Home Run off Criswell.  It was Vaughn's 17th Home Run of the season and his 3rd against the Red Sox.        

-----

Sox on the Board:  The Red Sox wasted no time getting on the board with 4 runs in the Home 1st Inning against Garrett Crochet.  Jarren Duran led off with a single and he went 1st to 3rd on a Double from Rafael Devers.  Rob Refsnyder picked up an RBI with a groundout and then Tyler O'Neill put the Red Sox in front for good with a 2-run Home Run.  Romy Gonzalez singled, stole 2nd, stole 3rd and scored on an RBI Double from Connor Wong that put the Red Sox up, 4-2.  

-----

Adding On: The Sox added on with 2 more runs in the 3rd Inning.  Romy Gonzalez knocked in a run with a Double and he scored on an RBI Single from Trevor Story, who was activated from the Injured List prior to the game.  

-----

Another Tyler Bomb: Tyler O'Neill made it 7-2 with his 2nd Home Run of the game in the 5th Inning.  It's the 6th time this season where O'Neill hit 2 Home Runs in a game and it's his 11th multi-home run game of his career.  

-----

Cooper's Night:  After working 4 perfect innings in his last outing Sunday at Detroit, Cooper Criswell went 5 full innings and did not give up another run after allowing the 2-out, 2-run Home Run to Vaughn in the 1st.  Criswell induced 2 groundball Double Plays and got 10 groundball outs over his 5 innings.  Criswell has allowed 4 runs total over his last 5 starts.  Sox are now 12-7 in his 17 starts on the season.

#64's Final Line- 5.0 IP. 6 Hits. 2 R. 2 ER. 2 BB. 0 K. 79P/50 Strikes.        

-----

Remember Andrew?: Former Red Sox 1st-round pick Andrew Benintendi made it a 2-run game with a 3-run Home Run off of Chase Shugart in the 7th Inning.  It was Benintendi's 16th Home Run this season. It was his 23rd career Home Run at Fenway.  Boston selected Benintendi in the 1st round (7th overall) out of the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville) in 2015.     

-----

Streaks Snapped: The Sox snapped a streak of 17 straight games with 9 hits or less in Saturday's win.  Sox had 10 hits (2 HR, 3 2B, & 5 Singles) in the win.  With the 7 runs, the Sox ended a streak of 6 straight games, scoring 3 runs or less.  Club still has Single-Digit hit totals in 24 of its last 29 Games.      

-----

Closing the Door in the 9th:  Kenley Jansen retired the side 1-2-3 in the 9th Inning for his 26th career save and the 446th of his career.  Sox used 4 relievers in the win.  Justin Slaten struck out 2 in working a perfect 8th.  

-----

A Look Ahead: The Red Sox go for the series sweep on Sunday.  Brayan Bello has been pushed back to start Monday's opener against the Orioles.  Sox are TBA and could go with a bullpen game in the Series Finale.  The Orioles and Red Sox will start a 3-Game Series at Fenway on Monday night.    

Probable Starting Pitchers:  Sunday:      TBA        vs.     RHP Chris Flexen
