Orioles bash Red Sox 14-8, slice AL wild-card deficit
AP
BOSTON (AP) Cedric Mullins homered on the second pitch of the game, Anthony Santander went deep twice and the Baltimore Orioles outslugged the Boston Red Sox 14-8 on Monday night to gain a little ground in the playoff race.
Gunnar Henderson hit a two-run homer and Mullins tripled in two runs for the Orioles (80-73), who moved within 3 1/2 games of idle Seattle for the final AL wild card.
Austin Hays added a solo shot for Baltimore in a game delayed by rain for 1 hour, 40 minutes.
''We're confident,'' Orioles starter Jordan Lyles said. ''We didn't love the way the Houston series finished up, the second half of those four games, but we know how talented we are and how good we are. We can get on a run.''
Baltimore dropped two straight against AL West champion Houston before arriving in Boston.
The surprising Orioles have nine games left in their turnaround season. They lost more than 100 games in their three previous full seasons.
Rob Refsnyder hit a three-run homer and J.D. Martinez had a solo shot for the last-place Red Sox (72-81). Boston dropped its season-high sixth consecutive game, one night after it was eliminated from postseason contention.
The Red Sox got home in the early morning after a rain-delayed loss Sunday night in New York.
''I don't want to sound sarcastic, but the 15th and the 30th you get paid for this,'' manager Alex Cora said. ''You've got to show up, just like you right now. You're doing your job.''
Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts, in a tight race with Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and Minnesota infielder Luis Arraez for the AL batting crown, went 1 for 5, dropping his average to .313.
Spencer Watkins (5-6) got the victory with 4 1/3 innings of relief.
''We swung the bats extremely well tonight. We needed it,'' Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. ''After the rain delay, there were so many guys down in the 'pen. I was going to have to pitch a couple of guys three days in a row if it got to that. Fortunately, Spencer Watkins really picked us up.''
Mullins hit a pitch from Connor Seabold (0-4) into the Baltimore bullpen for his 16th career leadoff homer and fifth this season.
Mullins' two-run triple highlighted a four-run second inning that gave the Orioles a 5-0 lead after Jorge Mateo's RBI double. Mullins scored when catcher Reese McGuire threw the ball into left field trying to pick him off.
Santander and Henderson both homered in the sixth to make it 11-5, with probably fewer than 2,000 people left at Fenway Park from the announced crowd of 25,634. Santander's two-run shot, his 31st homer of the year, increased it to 13-5 an inning later.
Santander said it meant a lot to him to reach 30 home runs and he was thankful to be healthy all season.
''I think that's been the biggest key for me to be able to reach that mark this year,'' he said through a translator.
SIT TIGHT
Baltimore second baseman Rougned Odor snagged Rafael Devers' hard, one-hop grounder as he was falling to the seat of his pants, then fired to second while sitting to start an inning-ending double play before umpires called for the tarp.
JUDGE WATCH
With Judge trying to match Roger Maris' American League record of 61 home runs in a season, the Yankees-Blue Jays game was shown on the center field video board during the rain delay.
Boston's 2-0 loss Sunday night at Yankee Stadium was called after six innings following a 98-minute rain delay.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Orioles: INF Ramon Urias (neck/shoulder spasms) was out of the lineup for the second straight day.
Red Sox: RHP Garrett Whitlock had surgery on his right hip in New York. He's expected to be ready for the start of spring training. . Devers and OF Alex Verdugo were back in the lineup after getting Sunday night off.
UP NEXT
Orioles RHP Kyle Bradish (4-7, 4.65 ERA) is slated to start Tuesday against Red Sox RHP Michael Wacha (11-1, 2.70) in the second game of the four-game series.

Red Sox sit through rain again -- and lose again as Orioles rout them, 14-8

BOSTON -- Believe it or not, sitting through a one-hour, 40-minute rain delay might have been the most fun part of Monday evening for the Red Sox.
Boston gave up five runs before the skies opened and eight runs after play resumed as the Orioles won easily, 14-8. The loss was the Red Sox’ sixth loss in a row. Boston fell deeper into its last-place hole with a 72-81 record.
Connor Seabold was hit early and often, allowing five runs on five hits (including a Cedric Mullins leadoff homer) in two innings. Baltimore strung together four straight hits to open the fourth and break things open, then scored again on an error to go up, 5-0. J.D. Martinez’s 13th homer of the year -- a solo shot off Jordan Lyles to lead off the second -- made it 5-1. Kiké Hernández made it a three-run game with an RBI single later in the inning.
Then came the delay. After Rafael Devers grounded into a double play to end the second, umpires called for the tarp and play didn’t resume until 9:45 p.m. ET. Both starters departed the game. Righty Tyler Danish entered for the Red Sox and allowed a run on a Kyle Stowers RBI triple in the top of the third.
The Red Sox made things interesting in the fourth, drawing within a run with a three-run inning that included a two-run single by Hernández and a Devers RBI single. But Danish issued two quick walks in the fifth, then the Orioles scored on back-to-back rocket singles off Zack Kelly. It was 8-5 after five innings, then 11-5 after six as Anthony Santander and Gunnar Henderson each homered off Kaleb Ort.
Santander’s second homer of the night (and 31st of the year) was a two-run blast off Franklin German that made it 13-5 in the eighth. Rob Refsnyder answered with his third hit of the night -- a three-run, seventh-inning homer to make the score look just a tad more respectable. Austin Hays hit Baltimore’s fifth home run of the night to make it a 14-8 game in the eighth.
In total, the Orioles outhit the Red Sox, 15-14. Hernández, Devers, Martinez, Refsnyder and Abraham Almonte each had a multi-hit games for the Red Sox, who left seven on base and were 6-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Seabold’s ERA rose to 11.29. German’s is at 31.50 through three appearances.
Rain strikes again
The Red Sox have generally avoided weather-related problems, as their only postponement of the 2022 season came on Opening Day, which was pushed back one day from April 7 to April 8. But they have paid their dues to the weather gods in the last two days, sitting through a combined 198 minutes (three hours, 38 minutes) of rain delays. Sunday’s loss came in a shortened, six-inning game at Yankee Stadium.
Wacha on tap for Tuesday
Righty Michael Wacha (11-1, 2.70 ERA) will look to continue his stellar season Tuesday night in the second game of a four-game series between the clubs. Righty Kyle Bradish (4-7, 4.65 ERA) is set to pitch for the Orioles. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET.

Alex Cora on Red Sox sitting through 3+ hours of rain delays: ‘On the 15th and the 30th, you get paid for this’
Published: Sep. 27, 2022, 2:00 a.m.

BOSTON -- The Red Sox, who have lost six in a row, are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention and have nothing left to play for as the end of the season nears, have not had a fun 48 hours. Boston has sat through 138 minutes (or three hours and 18 minutes) of rain delays in two different cities over the last two days.
That, as well as an early-morning arrival back in Boston after Sunday night’s game was called at 10:45 p.m. ET, mark bad beats for a team that’s simply playing out the string. And the results have shown it, as the Sox lost, 2-0, as the Yankees finished off a four-game sweep Sunday then were routed by the Orioles, 14-8, on Monday night.
Enter your email address here to receive the Fenway Rundown email newsletter in your inbox every Wednesday.
Still, Sox manager Alex Cora isn’t questioning his team’s effort or commitment. MLB players and coaches are paid to compete for a 162-game season and more than 25,000 fans paid for tickets to Monday’s game.
“I don’t want to sound sarcastic but on the 15th and the 30th, you get paid for this,” Cora said following the end of the game, which finished up just past midnight Tuesday morning. “You’ve got to show up.”
Cora then joked that the reporter who had asked the question probably would rather be elsewhere in the Fenway area other than the press conference room at the ballpark.
“Just like you, right now. You’re doing your job. You’re here,” he said. “You probably want to be at (Yard House) or somewhere having a drink but you’re here with me.”
While Cora thought his team played hard against Baltimore, he took issue with how the pitching staff performed in the opener of the club’s third-to-last series of the year. The O’s had 14 runs, 15 hits and five homers while walking eight times. Four of Boston’s six pitchers (Connor Seabold, Tyler Danish, Kaleb Ort and Franklin German) were tagged with multiple earned runs. Another, Zack Kelly, allowed two inherited runners to score.
“Not a good one, overall, pitching-wise,” Cora said. “Eight walks. A lot of deep counts. They hit the ball in the air, they hit homers. We did a good job defensively today. I think overall, pitching-wise, we have to be more aggressive in the zone. That’s something we haven’t done in a while. With a team like that, they hit the ball in the air and they hit homers.
“We didn’t pitch. We played good defense,” he added. “Bogey played great at short and Kiké made some great plays over there. We hit the ball hard, put some good at-bats. There’s going to be days like this pitching-wise.”
With nine games to go, the Red Sox holding tryouts for their 2023 roster. All six pitchers who appeared Friday are relative newcomers to the majors who are not locks for the Opening Day squad next spring.
“It’s a learning experience for some of those kids,” Cora said. “The ups and downs. Good two days ago and today you struggle. We’ve got to keep teaching them the game and helping them maneuver big league lineups.
“We’re learning a lot about ourselves, some of the guys that are here,” he said.

The #RedSox are trending to be off anywhere from 8-10% in attendance from 2019 -- the last pre-COVID season.
They also had the smallest crowd of John Henry's ownership tenure earlier this year.
#RedSox are 72-81.
Rain delay just prolonged what felt like the inevitable. Boston has lost six straight for the first time since the 2020 season.
This is truly grim.

Injuries & Moves: Eovaldi to return Thursday
September 26th, 2022
Keep track of the Red Sox’s recent transactions and injury updates throughout the season.
LATEST NEWS
Sept. 26: RHP Nathan Eovaldi to start Thursday at Fenway
On Sunday at Yankee Stadium, manager Alex Cora said that he might have Eovaldi piggyback Rich Hill for his return from the injured list. Cora changed course on Monday, and Eovaldi is now scheduled to start Thursday's finale of the four-game series against the Orioles at Fenway Park. The goal is for Eovaldi to throw five innings or 75 pitches. He will likely make one more start, finishing the season in Game 161 on Oct. 4 at home against the Rays.
Eovaldi, who is a free agent this winter, has made just 18 starts this season, going 5-3 with a 4.15 ERA. He was placed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation on Aug. 22 and last pitched for the Sox on Aug. 12.
Sept. 26: Hip surgery for RHP Garrett Whitlock is 'successful'
As expected, Whitlock underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right hip on Monday. The surgery was performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York and was deemed successful. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he will get more details in the coming days, but all signs point toward Whitlock being ready for the start of the 2023 season.
"He has an appointment tomorrow. From everything I hear, everything was OK. No surprises," said Cora. "He will talk to the doctor tomorrow and go from there. With him, obviously the offseason is what he can do to keep his arm going because he’s going to be very limited [with the hip]. But the goal is to be ready for 2023."
Sept. 25: INF/OF Christian Arroyo feeling better, could play Tuesday
Arroyo has been away from the Red Sox for most of the week due to an illness. He was finally able to work out at Yankee Stadium on Sunday night, and Red Sox manager Alex Cora projects that the right-handed hitter could be back in the lineup by Tuesday night against the Orioles. Arroyo hasn't played since Sept. 18. He has been one of Boston's hottest hitters since his return from the injured list on July 30, hitting .329 with 10 doubles and an .815 OPS.
1B Eric Hosmer (low back inflammation)
Expected return: Late season
It once looked like Hosmer's season was over due to issues with his back. However, the veteran is now on track to play some games down the stretch, perhaps as soon as later this week. Top prospect Triston Casas has been getting most of the playing time at first base, but Hosmer could get some games in the field and also some at DH when he returns. After being acquired from the Padres on Aug. 2, Hosmer played in just 12 games for Boston before shutting it down with disc issues in his back.
“Moving better," said Red Sox manager Alex Cora. "There’s a chance we might get him toward the end of the week. There’s a good chance. He’s improved and is making strides. That’s good." (Last updated: Sept. 26)
2B Trevor Story (left heel contusion)
Expected return: Possibly last few games of season
When Story injured his left heel trying to beat out a double play on Sept. 10, the general feeling was that it was a day-to-day injury. However, Story continues to have discomfort when he runs, so the Red Sox opted to put him on the injured list on Sept. 22 (retroactive to Sept. 19). Story is first eligible to return on Sept. 29, at which point there will be seven games remaining in the season. Both manager Alex Cora and Story were in agreement that this move to the IL isn't a shutdown and that the hope is for the second baseman to play again this season.
"We’re trying," said Cora. "He’s out there taking grounders. The running progression is the hard part. The moving around and the swinging the bat has been OK, but when he gets to that 70-75 percent, that’s when he feels it. We’re still working and hopefully he can play a few games." (Last updated: Sept. 26)
RHP Garrett Whitlock (right hip impingement)
Expected return: 2023
As expected, Whitlock underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right hip on Sept. 26. The surgery was performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York and was deemed successful. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he will get more details in the coming days, but all signs point toward Whitlock being ready for the start of the 2023 season. Whitlock last pitched on Sept. 16 against the Royals. He posted a 4-2 record with a 3.45 ERA in 31 appearances (nine starts) this season.

RED SOX NOTEBOOK
Nate Eovaldi gets to pitch once again before Red Sox fansBy Alex Speier Globe Staff,Updated September 26, 2022, 7:30 p.m. Nate Eovaldi is not ready for his season to be over. The righthander, who has been on the injured list since Aug. 22 with shoulder inflammation, will return to the rotation this week against the Orioles, then make one more start next week against the visiting Rays to close out the season. With the Sox mired in last place and officially eliminated from the postseason race, the 32-year-old could have focused on beginning an offseason of recovery as he nears the end of his four-year, $68 million deal he signed after emerging as a postseason star in 2018. But he didn’t want to pass on what might be his final chances to pitch in a Red Sox uniform. “It means so much just to be able to finish the season healthy and to be able to do so throwing in front of our fans. I feel like we owe that to them,” said Eovaldi, who is 5-3 with a 4.15 ERA in 18 starts this year while missing more than two months with back and shoulder injuries. “Given the struggles we had all season, it’s important to show them that we’re going out there and not giving in.” In a rehab start last week for Triple A Worcester, Eovaldi worked at 93-94 miles per hour (topping out at 96). While his velocity has been down below its typically elite level for most of the year, he expressed confidence that he’ll be able to address his health and mechanical issues. “This year, it’s been a lot of injuries. I’ve tried to rush back at times just given where we were,” said Eovaldi. “I’m extremely confident [about 2023].” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Eovaldi will be capped at five innings and 75 pitches against the Orioles this week. He expressed his appreciation for the fact that Eovaldi has pushed to contribute for his team. “He’s worked so hard to get to this point. Now, we’re not going to stop it,” said Cora. “People might think it’s for other reasons or whatever, he’s a free agent and he wants to show people that he’s healthy, but at the same time, I think it’s more about who he is as a professional and the value of 162 games. Obviously, he’s disappointed that he got hurt this season and he didn’t contribute the way the way he wanted to, but to pitch two more games here I think it’s important. “We don’t know what the future holds,” Cora added of Eovaldi and other pending Red Sox free agents. “For him to pitch here this week and to pitch here next week, hopefully people appreciate that.” Rafaela the center of attention For the second straight year, Red Sox prospect Ceddanne Rafaela made an appearance at Fenway Park, where he was being recognized as the organization’s minor league Defensive Player of the Year in a pregame ceremony. Rafaela, who turned 22 last week and finished the year in Double A Portland, hopes to be back in Boston at the end of next season — this time wearing a big league uniform. “That’s the main goal, not just to come here, but come to play here next year,” said Rafaela, who hit .299/.342/.539 with 21 homers and 28 steals between High A Greenville and Portland this year. Related: Red Sox announce their minor league awards for the 2022 season The goal is realistic. Rafaela is a virtual lock to be added to the 40-man roster and will compete in spring training for a spot in Triple A. His elite defense in center and at short, along with dynamic overall potential, suggest that the big leagues aren’t beyond his reach. “I think any of our guys that finish the season in Double A and probably go to big league spring training, fighting for upper-level depth, have a chance to make an impact in the big leagues,” said farm director Brian Abraham. “We’re doing our best to prepare him for that opportunity when it comes.” Rafaela was joined by first baseman Niko Kavadas (Hitter of the Year), righthander Brayan Bello (Starting Pitcher of the Year), righthander Franklin German (Relief Pitcher of the Year), middle infielder David Hamilton (Baserunner of the Year), outfielder/infielder Andy Lugo (Latin Program Position Player of the Year), righthander Eybersson Paulino (Latin Program Pitcher of the Year), and righthander Zack Kelly (Lou Gorman Award for perseverance to reach the big leagues) in being honored before Monday’s game. Whitlock undergoes surgery Righthander Garrett Whitlock underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right hip at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. Cora said there were “no surprises” in the procedure. The Sox expect the righthander to be ready for spring training . . . Rafaela, a native of Curaçao, said that he’s talked to Netherlands officials about playing for the team in the WBC. Rafaela met with Aruba native Xander Bogaerts — who will play for the Netherlands — on the field before Monday’s game . . . Cora said returns by both Eric Hosmer and Trevor Story this season remain possible . . .

Red Sox try to salvage final days of season vs. Orioles

Red Sox try to salvage final days of season vs. Orioles
The season has been long enough for the Boston Red Sox. Now the games are dragging out without much success to accompany them.
After getting officially eliminated from playoff contention, the Red Sox now are just trying to gain some level of pride during the final stretch of the season.
Boston hopes to begin that late-season turnaround on Tuesday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles, who still have playoff aspirations.
The Red Sox were forced to endure long rain delays each of the past two nights. The results were a rain-shortened, 2-0 road loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday followed by a 14-8 whipping from the Orioles on Monday in the series opener.
"We've just got to get better," said Red Sox manager Alex Cora, whose team has lost six games in a row. "You got to show up."
The 100-minute rain delay Monday night simply added to the misery for the Red Sox, who gave up at least one run in seven of the nine innings. Boston pitchers contributed to the Orioles' success by issuing eight walks.
"I think overall pitching-wise, we've got to be more aggressive in the zone," Cora said. "That's something we haven't done in a while."
Boston (72-81) needs to win its final nine games to finish the season .500.
The Orioles (80-73) hold a 9-7 edge in the season series with Boston, so they will go for the clincher in that category on Tuesday. In four of the wins against the Red Sox, Baltimore posted 10 or more runs.
That's quite an accomplishment for an Orioles offense that went through a stretch of the season struggling to produce runs.
Baltimore right-hander Kyle Bradish (4-7, 4.65 ERA) is set to start Tuesday, looking for a second straight strong outing. He fired 8 2/3 shutout innings against the Houston Astros on Thursday, striking out 10 without walking a batter.
"He's got his fastball going two different ways now, and when it's 96-97 (mph) and it's going left or going right, with the sinker, it's just super hard to hit," Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. "They can't stay out over the plate on him anymore.
"And his breaking balls are so good that he can throw both of them and get swings and misses. ... He's just really learning how to pitch."
Bradish has seen his confidence rise since struggling earlier in his rookie season. In his past six starts, he is 3-2 with a 1.64 ERA.
"When you've got four or five pitches working for you, it's pretty easy out there," Bradish said.
Bradish has struggled against the Red Sox, going 0-3 with a 5.31 ERA in four starts.
The Orioles adjusted their bullpen, recalling right-hander Logan Gillaspie and optioning left-hander Keegan Akin to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday. Gillaspie pitched the final 2 2/3 innings in the series opener at Boston, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits.
The Red Sox will hand the ball to right-hander Michael Wacha (11-1, 2.70 ERA), who will try to match the second-best win total of his 10-year career.
Wacha has worked at least six innings in each of his past six starts, posting a 3-0 record during that stretch. One of the victories came Sept. 10 at Baltimore, when he lasted six innings and gave up three runs for his second win against the Orioles of 2022.
Lifetime against Baltimore, Wacha holds a 2-1 record with a 4.89 ERA in eight starts covering 35 innings.

Martinez 2-4, Tommy Pham 1-5, Alex Verdugo 4-11, Connor Wong 0-1 Batting title chase: Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge holds a slim lead at .314 over Bogaerts and Minnesota’s Luis Arraez, who are both hitting .313. The Yankees are at the Blue Jays Tuesday night, while the Twins are hosting the White Sox. Stat of the day: Anthony Santander’s 31 home runs are the most in the majors this season for a switch hitter and the most for a Baltimore switch hitter since Eddie Murray also had 31 in 1985. Notes: Wacha will try to match the second-best win total of his 10-year career. He has gone at least six innings in each of his last six starts, going 3-0 in that stretch. In eight starts against the Orioles, Wacha is 2-1 with a 4.89 ERA. … In his last start, Bradish tossed 8⅔ shutout innings against the Astros, striking out 10 without walking a batter. He has struggled against the Red Sox, going 0-3 with a 5.31 ERA in four starts. Song of the Day: Queen - I Want to Break Freewww.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Mc-NYPHaQ

Weather-permitting, Chris Sale is planning to join the Red Sox for their final three games at Fenway next week, according to Alex Cora.
Not to pitch, obviously. To be with the team.
