Video: Red Sox Make It Two In a Row With 6-3 Win Over Braves
I wonder if Boston Red Sox skipper John Farrell used this line to his charges before Tuesday’s game with the Atlanta Braves.
After winning on Monday to end the ten game skid, the Red Sox won last night 6-3 to make it two in a row. If they win tonight, they’ll have what’s called a winning streak.
Jon Lester was solid. It wasn’t his best effort nor was it anywhere near his worst. He did what he needed to do. Lester allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out seven in six innings. Craig Breslow, Junichi Tazawa, Andrew Miller and Koji Uehara kept the Braves off the scoreboard the rest of the way.
David Ortiz had the big hit in the 7th with a single that tied the game. Grady Sizemore then added an RBI groundout to put the Red Sox ahead for good. Later that inning, Jackie Bradley, Jr. added some insurance with a two-run single.
Dustin Pedroia had three hits and an RBI to lead the Sox. JBJ added two hits and the two RBI while Sizemore had two hits and his RBI.

Afternoon Red Sox Delight – 5/27/14
After ending their ten-game losing streak yesterday, the Boston Red Sox look to make it two wins in a row tonight in the finale of a two-game set with the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field in Atlanta, GA.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. The game will be broadcast on NESN in the Red Sox television market. If you live in the Braves television market, you can catch the game on SportsSouth. If you don’t live in either market, you’re in luck as ESPN will have coverage of the game (outside of Red Sox and Braves television markets). You can also catch the game online on WatchESPN where available. And if you can’t catch the game on television, you can always listen on the 2014 Red Sox Radio Network.
Jon Lester makes his 11th start of the 2014 campaign. In his previous 10 starts, Lester is 4-6 with a 3.36 ERA. He last faced the Braves in 2012 when he took the loss after allowing three runs in seven innings of work. He’s made two career starts against them and is 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA. His lone start at Turner Field came in 2006 when he picked up the win after allowing a run in six innings of work.
Aaron Harang also makes his 11th start of 2014. In his previous 10 starts, Harang is 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA. He made one start against the Red Sox in 2013 as a member of the Seattle Mariners where he took the loss after allowing seven runs in five innings of work. He’s made four career starts against the Red Sox and is 2-2 with a 5.64 ERA.

Video: Chop This! Red Sox Losing Streak Ends at 10
After 10 games of complete misery, the Boston Red Sox have finally won a game. And the best part, they did even when Clay Buchholz put them in a big hole.
After four innings, the Red Sox found themselves trailing the Atlanta Braves 6-1. But in the top of the 5th, they rallied with five runs, two on a Dustin Pedroia single that was followed by a David Ortiz three-run homer.
Then the rains started to fall and the game was delayed. That didn’t deter the visitors though as Big Papi hit a sac fly in the 7th. A.J. Pierzynski added an RBI single and then Junichi Tazawa, Andrew Miller and Koji Uehara made it stand.
This win was a total team win and hopefully it jump starts the Red Sox. They are a better team than their record indicates. We won’t place blame on the injuries or the bad pitching or the slumping at the plate.
It’s baseball. It’s not a sprint. It’s a marathon. There is still 112 games left. Plenty of time to make up ground and get back into things.

Video: Former Husky George Springer Has Five HR in Four Games For Astros
Former UConn Huskies and current Houston Astros OF George Springer has been on quite a tear lately at the plate and has been making some outstanding catches in the field as well.
Last night against the Kansas City Royals, he went 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and five runs scored. He also made a spectacular running catch.
He has now hit five home runs in the last four games for the Astros, including his multiple home run game.
