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

The Red Sox return to Fenway Park Friday night was not a successful one as the Sox dropped an 8-4 decision in the series opener against the Houston Astros. The Sox have lost 2 in a row overall and 2 in a row at Fenway. The Sox had an opportunity to get to .500 at home for just the 2nd time this season Friday night. 

----- 

Ugly 7th for the Pen: Red Sox took a 3-1 lead to the Top of the 7th Inning. Lucas Sims was the 1st reliever into the game for Boston. Sims gave up a leadoff Triple to Jake Meyers, struck out the next hitter and then gave up a game-tying, 2-run Home Run to Jose Altuve. The Astros ended up scoring 4 runs in the inning (all 4 charged to Sims) and collected 7 hits (6 in a row at 1 point) in the 7th after managing just 4 hits over the 1st 6 Innings. 

----- 

Ugly 7th Part II: Sox threated in the home 7th but were turned away and ended up leaving the bases full. Tayler Scott walked pinch-hitter Enmanuel Valdez to load up the bases with 2 outs and Scott left the bases full by striking out Rafael Devers on 3 pitches. 

----- 

Tanner On The Bump: Tanner Houck made the start on the mound for the Red Sox Friday night. Houck gave up a leadoff walk to Jose Altuve and a single to Alex Bregman in the 1st Inning. Altuve scored from 3rd on a groundball double play. Houck came back and worked 5 straight scoreless innings. He worked a 1-2-3 4th inning and then left the bases loaded in the 5th. Houck gave up a leadoff single in the 6th and then got a 6-4-3 Double Play to end the inning. Houck went 6 innings and left with a 3-1 lead but ended up with a no-decision. #89's Final Line- 6.0 IP. 4 Hits. 1 R. 1 ER. 3 BB. 1 K. 82 Pitches/51 Strikes. 

----- 

More 2-Out Magic- Sox took their 1st lead of the game in the bottom of the 2nd Inning against Houston starter Ronel Blanco. Nick Sogard, making his Fenway Park debut got things going with a 2-out single. Ceddanne Rafaela followed with a single and both scored on a Double off the bat of David Hamilton to make it 2-1 Red Sox. Sox 3rd run of the game came with 2 outs in the 4th when Nick Sogard scored on an errant pick-off attempt from Blanco. 

----- 

Not A Lot of Hits: Jarren Duran led off the home 1st with a Double and was left stranded. Sox had the 3 straight hits in the 2nd. After that, they managed only 2 more hits for the rest of the night. 

----- 

A Couple of Firsts for Sogard- Sogard made his Fenway Park debut Friday night. He singled and scored in the 2nd. Walked and stole his 1st Big League base in the 4th and was left stranded at 3rd Base. Sogard collected his 1st Big League Extra-Base hit with a two-out Double in the 7th and was eventually left on base. Sogard has reached in all 6 games since coming up from Triple-A. 

----- 

What's Next?: Sox continue their series with the Astros with a a day game on Saturday. 1st pitch 4:10 p.m. EST. The Sox did not announce their starter for Game 2 of the series prior to Friday night's game. Astros go with rookie Spencer Arrighetti. 

----- 

Locked On Red Sox POSTCAST Notes: The Red Sox are now winless in Houck's last 4 starts. His last win came on July 11th at home vs. the A's. Houck did not allow a Home Run in his 6 Innings of work. It's just the 2nd time in the last 10 games where a starting pitcher did not allow a Home Run.

The Red Sox ended their 6-Game Road Trip with an 8-4 Loss to the Royals Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium. Royals went in front with a 5-run 4th Inning and never trailed again. Bobby Witt Jr was the hitting star for the Royals with 2 Home Runs and a 2-run Double. 

----- 

On the Hill with Kutter: Kutter Crawford entered Wednesday's start having allowed 12 Home Runs in his previous 3 outings. Crawford gave up a solo Home Run to Bobby Witt Jr. in the Bottom of the 1st and that got the Royals on the board 1st. Crawford issued a leadoff walk and a 2-out walk in the 2nd and the Royals tacked on another run on a 2-out, RBI single from Michael Massey. Crawford took a 4-2 lead to the Bottom of the 4th, but he didn't make it out of the inning. Again, he allowed a leadoff walk and 2-out walk and the Royals made him pay. Crawford was chased from the game after giving up a 2-out, 2-run Double to Witt Jr. that gave Kansas City an 8-4 lead. 

#50's Final Line- 3.2 IP. 5 Hits. 6 R. 6 ER. 4 BB, 3 Ks, 1 Home Run allowed. 

----- 

2-Out Magic From Romy- The Sox came to the plate down 2-0 against Cole Ragans and the Royals in the Top of the 3rd Inning and 1 swing of the bat changed that. Romy Gonzalez hit his 2nd Home Run of the series with a 2-out, 3-run Home Run and that put the Red Sox in front for the 1st time of the night. 

----- 

His 1st for the Sox- Danny Jansen added to the Red Sox lead with a solo Home Run off of Ragans in the 4th inning. It's his 1st with the Red Sox and 7th on the season. 

----- Hit Streak Ends: Jarren Duran went 0-for-4, ending his 8-Game Hit Streak. Durran and Witt Jr. are the only 2 players in the American League to start every game for their teams. 

----- 

Looking Ahead: The Red Sox have a scheduled off day Thursday and open a 6-Game Home Stand with the 1st of 3 against the Houston Astros Friday night at Fenway.

The Boston Red Sox are lucky to have Alex Cora as their manager. With Monday night's 9-5 win over the Kansas City Royals, he celebrated his 500th win in that role and the team celebrated with a clubhouse toast. On today's show, Gabby discusses the true impact Cora has on the team that extends far beyond his knowledge of the game. She also discusses James Paxton's impact and why his presence is a difference maker for a potential playoff run, and she talks about catcher Danny Jansen's potential to possibly make history.

The Red Sox came from behind and beat the Rangers, 7-2, in the series finale Sunday afternoon in Arlington, TX. It was the Red Sox 25th come-back win of the season. Sox take 2 of 3 in Arlington and win their 2nd straight series after losing their 1st 3 Series out of the All-Star Break. 

----- Wilyer Goes Yard 2X!: Wilver Abreu tied the game at 2-2 with a solo Home Run in the 4th Inning. It was his 2nd of the Series. His 2nd of the game and 3rd of the Series came with 2 runners on in the 6th Inning and gave the Sox a 6-2 lead. The 2nd Home Run traveled 430' and was his 1st this season against a lefty pitcher. Abreu was caught by the cameras on the NESN telecast in the 4th Inning getting emotional and perhaps with tears in his eyes. Teammates did come over to check in on him and picked him up. NESN's Tom Caron posted on X that Abreu recieved sad news on a family member late Saturday night. 

----- Pivetta's Day in Arlington: Nick Pivetta gave up just 2 hits in his start on Sunday. They were both solo Home Runs over the 1st 2 Innings.

Pivetta got the 1st 2 outs in the 5th and was removed at 70 pitches. Cam Booser entered to face a lefty hitter and got the final out of the inning. 37's Final Line- 4.2 IP. 2 Hits. 2 R. 2 ER. 1 Walk. 5 Strikeouts. 2 Home Runs allowed. 

----- The Pen: Cam Booser got the final out in the 5th Inning in relief of Pivetta and Booser retired the side 1-2-3 in the 6th Inning. Zack Kelly gave up a Double, but nothing else in working a scoreless 7th Inning. Brennan Bernardino struck out the side in the 8th. Josh Winckowski worked a 1-2-3 9th to close out the win. 

----- Hit Streak I: Rafael Devers extended his hit streak to 11 in a leadoff single in the 6th inning. Devers came into score on Abreu's 3-R blast. UPDATE Devers has 20 Hits (13 Extra-Base Hits---10 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR) during his current hit streak. 

----- Hit Streak II: Ceddanne Rafaela went 0-for-4 to end his 9-Game Hit Streak. 

----- Jarren Keeps Going: Jarren Duran was back in the lineup and has started all 110 games this season. Duran went 3-for-4 with a Double, Home Run, 2 RBIs and 2 Stolen Bases in Sunday's finale. Duran's hit safely in 16 of 17. 

----- What's Next?: Red Sox continue their road trip and open up a 3-Game Series against the Royals in Kansas City Monday night. James Paxton goes against Brady Singer, who turned 28 on Sunday.
