Christian Vazquez Tallies Two Hits In Wednesday's Loss

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez went 2-for-5 with an RBI in the team's 9-6 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. It was his third multi-hit game of the month.

Hansel Robles Implodes Wednesday Night

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Hansel Robles may have been the new favorite for saves before Wednesday night's game, but he probably isn't any longer. Robles entered for the top of the 10th inning, and gave up five runs (four earned) on three hits with one strikeout. Two of those hits allowed were home runs. […]

Nick Pivetta Lasts Four Innings Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta only managed to last four innings against the Minnesota Twins Wednesday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks.
