I can't catch the game, but I am hoping that Houck is out because we have/had a 12-run lead.
That said, another good start with a decent run of good starts.

Tanner Houck never lost consciousness and is at the hospital being checked. “He was lucky.” Alex Cora said.
Tanner Houck is at Mass General with his wife, Abby.
Garrett Whitlock said Houck was making jokes before he was taken to MGH.
Cora did not know the results of x-rays. But the initial reports are thankfully positive.

Turner welcomes Yanks to Fenway with 2-run HR, grand slam
12:36 AM GMT-3

BOSTON -- Justin Turner has mainly blended in during his first season with the Red Sox, grinding out every at-bat and getting his share of key hits while providing the leadership everyone expected in the dugout and clubhouse.
But on Friday night, the red-bearded veteran jumped to the forefront of baseball’s most storied rivalry with an emphatic display of offense in which he compiled a double, a two-run homer and a grand slam in the first three innings of an eventual 15-5 rout over the Yankees at Fenway Park.
It was quite a display, particularly for a Boston team that had been scuffling for runs and wins of late.
To manager Alex Cora, it felt like the first day of summer.
“Finally,” said Cora. “I think this is probably the hottest [home] game we’ve played the whole season. It seems like every game we have played has been in the 50s, and today, it felt like summer. You know how it plays here in the summer and the ball will carry. And the guys did an outstanding job putting pressure on [Domingo] Germán. We did some great things. We put pressure on their defense. We were really good tonight offensively.”
However, the hitting heroics by the 35-35 Red Sox were dampened when starting pitcher Tanner Houck got belted below the right eye on a line drive by Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka to start the fifth inning. Houck exited under his own power. The initial diagnosis is that Houck has a facial contusion. The righty got stitches at the park and then went to a nearby hospital for observation.
When Houck departed, the Red Sox held a 13-1 lead, thanks to the damage done by Turner and Co. In a six-game stretch from June 7-12, the Red Sox didn’t score more than a run in a single inning.
On Friday, they busted out of the gate with four straight multi-run innings, with Turner in the middle of most of it.
“Obviously for everyone, it was just good offense all the way around,” said Turner. “And using the whole field, too. Our left-handed hitters wore out the Monster all night for nine innings and found ways to get on base. I think 15 runs and 17 hits, that's a pretty good offense.”
Fittingly, Turner had the first hit of the night for the Red Sox, a double to left that helped set up Masataka Yoshida’s two-run double off the Monster. Yoshida went 4-for-4 with three RBIs, marking his first four-hit game in the Majors.
An inning later, the Sox came back for two more runs, both coming on Turner’s homer into the first row of the Monster Seats. In the third, Turner unloaded for a majestic grand slam that hit the top of the back wall behind the bleachers in center, a Statcast-projected bolt of 429 feet.
“I haven’t seen too many guys go up there,” said Cora. “Obviously around ’07, ’08, Manny [Ramirez] used to hit it up there. That ball took off. That was a beautiful swing.”
Boosted by his best night of the season, Turner has a batting line of .278/.356/.451 with 10 homers and 36 RBIs.
It stands to reason that those numbers are going to improve as the weather continues to become more favorable to the hitters.
“I talked to Dustin Pedroia about this a little bit and he talked about the difficulties of hitting in the first two months,” said Turner. “But if you can kind of keep your head above water once the weather turns and it warms up, it's a great place to hit. So obviously, this is one of those warmer nights when the wind was blowing out a little bit.
“And you see a lot of those balls that were caught last month and early in the year were going off the wall and I was lucky to get [the first] one over. I don't know if it helped the second one, I got that one pretty good.”
Though Rafael Devers and Yoshida are the two Boston hitters the opposition will focus the most on trying to stop, Turner will continue to be relentless in his own way.
“You see the numbers,” said Cora. “Pitches per plate appearances. The walks. It's a quality at-bat but one that we know that when the ball is gonna start carrying he's gonna see [more results]. He'll be OK in the power department, but the at-bat, it's just a good one. It's a real good at-bat.”

Houck 'in good spirits' after exiting start with facial contusion
Right-hander received stitches, went to local hospital for observation after taking a comebacker off his face
1:16 AM GMT-3

@ianmbrowne
BOSTON -- What had been one of loudest nights of the season at Fenway Park suddenly became very quiet in the top of the fifth inning when Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck was belted below the right eye by a line drive off the bat of Kyle Higashioka at the start of the fifth inning.
Houck immediately went to the ground, and his face became bloodied by the impact.
The initial diagnosis of a facial contusion indicated that Houck might have dodged a major injury.
After getting stitches at the ballpark, Houck went to a nearby hospital for observation, Red Sox manager Alex Cora revealed after his team’s 15-5 victory over the Yankees on Friday night.
“He was conscious the whole time, so that's good,” said Cora. “He's in the hospital right now getting further tests. We’ll know more, obviously, at the end of the night, but we got lucky there.”
Houck was able to walk off the mound under his own power and gave a fist pump to the crowd as he neared the dugout. The moment was unsettling to both teams and everyone who witnessed it.
“It’s not good,” said Cora. “We reacted right away. He knew where he was right away and he kept saying he was fine. We just have to make sure we slow him down. I saw him while he was getting stitches. I mean, he got lucky. Let's put it that way.”
Red Sox designated hitter Justin Turner, who got 16 stitches on March 6 after getting hit by a pitch during Spring Training, could relate to what his teammate was going through.
“Yeah, absolutely,” said Turner. “It’s scary when anyone gets hit up in the head [area]. Obviously it was bleeding right away. He got his stitches back there and he was in good spirits and we know he’s a tough guy so he’ll bounce back. I didn't get a chance to talk to him in the clubhouse, but a couple of guys did. And he was in pretty good spirits before he went to the hospital to get some scans and [get checked on]. And hopefully it's a few stitches and hopefully back out there.“
Before the injury, Houck pitched well, holding the Yankees to four hits and one run over four-plus innings while walking one and striking out two.
“He threw the ball well and he’s been doing that for a while now,” said Cora. “Obviously there's going to be outings where he will struggle, but he is a good pitcher. And he kept throwing his best pitches as much as possible, and he kept them off-balance and he did an outstanding job.”

Injuries & Moves: RHP Houck hit in face by batted ball
1:27 AM GMT-3
June 16: RHP Tanner Houck exits with facial contusion after getting struck by batted ball
In a scary moment at Fenway Park on Friday night, Houck was struck in the face just under his right eye on a line drive by Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka. Houck immediately went to the ground, his face bloodied by the impact. Houck was able to get up and walk off the mound under his own power. He pumped his fist to the crowd as he got close to the dugout. The Red Sox announced Houck left with a facial contusion. Houck received stitches at the ballpark and was then taken to a nearby hospital for observation. The Red Sox should have more information on his condition on Saturday.
June 16: LHP Joely Rodríguez close to return
Lefty reliever Rodríguez threw off the main mound at Fenway Park on Friday in what was an important step in his path back toward the active roster. Rodríguez is serving his second stint on the injured list this season, this one due to left shoulder inflammation that has prevented him from pitching for Boston since May 31. Rodríguez could go on a short Minor League rehab assignment in a few days and be activated by the Red Sox at some point during next week's road trip to Minneapolis and Chicago.
“He looked good," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said of Friday's throwing session. "I don’t know velocity-wise, but action on the pitches looked good. He feels a lot better. It's very similar to Chris [Sale] early in the season. So hopefully, you know, after [this stint on the IL], he can reset and get to the form. … I'm not saying throw 94 or 95 [mph] right away, but the action of the pitches, the repetition of the delivery."
RHP John Schreiber (right teres major strain)
Expected return: Late June/Early July
Schreiber continues to progress with his throwing program, and is throwing out to 90 feet. Schreiber will have a daily progression on flat ground until he is ready to throw off the mound. A key righty in Boston's bullpen, Schreiber has been missed. He has a 2.12 ERA in 18 appearances this season. (Last updated: June 16)
LHP Joely Rodríguez (left shoulder inflammation)
Expected return: Next road trip
Lefty reliever Rodríguez threw off the main mound at Fenway Park on June 16 in what was an important step in his path back toward the active roster. Rodríguez is serving his second stint on the injured list this season, this one due to left shoulder inflammation that has prevented him from pitching for Boston since May 31. Rodríguez could go on a short Minor League rehab assignment in a few days and be activated by the Red Sox at some point during next week's road trip to Minneapolis and Chicago, which starts on June 19. (Last updated: June 16)
INF Yu Chang (left hamate fracture)
Expected return: Late June/Early July
Chang is in a holding pattern as he continues to feel some discomfort in his surgically repaired left wrist that started to develop during his abbreviated Minor League rehab assignment. The hope is that Chang returns to the field in the Minors by next week. Chang played one game for Double-A Portland on May 26 and three for Triple-A Worcester from June 6-8. (Last updated: June 16)
SS Trevor Story (right UCL surgery)
Expected return: July or August
Story, who is rehabbing from an internal bracing procedure on his right elbow that was performed in January, flew up from Fort Myers, Fla., on June 12 to continue his rehab work in Boston. He will also accompany the club on the upcoming road trip that starts on June 19. Story is throwing from a distance of 120 feet. His goal is to play shortstop for the Red Sox at some point in August and perhaps return as a designated hitter in July. (Last updated: June 16)

Masataka Yoshida, rested from 2 days off, delivers 4-hits in Red Sox win
Published: Jun. 16, 2023, 11:58 p.m.
By Matt Vautour | mvautour@masslive.com
BOSTON — Before Friday’s 15-5 win over the New York Yankees, Alex Cora said the Red Sox used intel they got from the Orix Buffaloes, Masataka Yoshida’s Japanese team in hopes of shaking their rookie outfielder from a mini-slump.
The simple version was: If Yoshida is tired his mechanics will suffer and he’s likely to ground out to the right side of the infield. When the Red Sox saw that happening, they gave him time off. Yoshida got a rest day on the final game of the Rockies series on Wednesday. That, followed by the off day on Thursday, left him rejuvenated.
He responded with four hits, including two doubles, a run and three RBIs on Friday.
“You saw him last week, everything was rolling over. He was off balance,” Cora said after the game. “Before the first double, you could see. He was able to see the ball and stay behind it. He’s a good hitter. He had some good swings tonight.”
Yoshida felt the difference.
“I got great rest. I feel refreshed. I was ready for the game,” Yoshida said through a translator. “That day off was for sure really helpful to me. I felt really good today. ... One of the hits was lucky. Sometimes that happens. For tomorrow’s game, I want to keep going.”
In Japan, the entire league is in one time zone, Yoshida admitted he was still adjusting to MLB travel.
“I’m still working on adjusting to travel. Compared to Japan it is much harder,” he said. “It is what it is. It’s part of the Major League game. I’m still working on adjusting travel-wise.”

Will Red Sox-Yankees be postponed due to rain Saturday? Sunday DH possible
Updated: Jun. 16, 2023, 8:16 p.m.|Published: Jun. 16, 2023, 7:51 p.m.
By Christopher Smith | csmith@masslive.com
BOSTON — Manager Alex Cora joked when he was asked what he’s hearing about the weather Saturday. The Red Sox and Yankees are scheduled to play the second game of their three-game series at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow at Fenway Park.
“It should be a good movie night with the kids,” Cora said, smiling.
The chance of precipitation is 100% in Boston on Saturday with “between a quarter and half of an inch possible” at night, according to the National Weather Service
A doubleheader is expected Sunday at Fenway if Saturday’s game is rained out.
The Yankees visit Fenway Park only twice this year because of the new balanced schedule. New York doesn’t return to Boston until Sept. 11-14.
With the balanced schedule, Major League Baseball wants postponed games to be rescheduled to the earliest date possible.
Boston and New York are playing on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. And so Saturday’s game would be rescheduled for sometime Sunday afternoon.

RED SOX NOTEBOOK
The pitch clock cost Rafael Devers his moments of zen, but he’s not blaming his batting average on it
By Peter Abraham Globe Staff,Updated June 16, 2023, 8:08 p.m.
The pitch timer has served its purpose, dramatically improving the pace of games. With few exceptions, it has been a welcome development for players, coaches, and fans.
But we have been robbed of the entertaining pre-pitch antics from Rafael Devers.
The Red Sox third baseman had a routine of closing his eyes for a few seconds before every pitch and taking a deep, cleansing breath. He seemed in almost a meditative state.
But with hitters having only eight seconds to get set in the box and be attentive to the pitcher, Devers abandoned the practice.
“I had to change,” he said Friday before a 15-5 victory against the Yankees. “I didn’t have time.”
Devers is hitting .243, a steep drop from .295 last season. But he has 16 homers and a major-league leading 56 RBIs.
Devers started taking deep breaths at the suggestion of former teammate J.D. Martinez in 2019. It clearly worked for him as he finished 12th in the Most Valuable Player voting that season and became an All-Star for the first time in 2021.
Devers now tries to set his focus when he’s on deck and arrives at the plate ready to hit.
“It’s a change, but it hasn’t bothered me,” he said. “Everybody has to do it with the clock.”
As for his batting average, Devers has been victimized a bit by a .248 batting average on balls in play, a drop from .329 last season and well off the league average of .297.
Devers hit .286 with a .999 OPS in his previous nine games prior to going 0 for 4 with a walk Friday.
“I’m feeling good,” he said before taking an exaggerated deep breath and heading to the clubhouse after taking early batting practice.
Smash return for Yoshida
Masataka Yoshida was back in left field after being off on Wednesday. He also was out of the lineup on Monday, but did pinch hit.
With Yoshida hitting .225 with a .595 OPS this month, the Sox thought an extended break would help. He was 4 for 4 with two doubles, three RBIs and a run scored on Friday.
“The biggest thing is how I feel and my mind,” Yoshida said via a translator. “I needed time to [clear] my mind.
Manager Alex Cora and some of the Sox coaches connected with the coaches of the Orix Buffaloes, Yoshida’s former team, earlier this season to learn more about their new left fielder.
They were told that when Yoshida is worn down, he hits ground balls to the pull side. Sure enough, in his previous two starts he struck out twice and had four ground outs to the right side.
The schedule has played a role, too. All of the teams in Japan play in the same time zone and the trips are shorter. There’s also a scheduled day off every week.
“I’m still working on adjusting to the travel. Compared to Japan it is much harder,” Yoshida said. “But it is what it is. It’s part of the majors leagues.”
Cora said he would “probably” try to mix in more days off for Yoshida in the weeks ahead. That seems certain now.
Rodriguez improving
Lefthander Joely Rodriguez, who has been on the injured list twice this season and has appeared in only five games, threw to hitters on the field before the game.
“He looked good,” Cora said. “Action on the pitches looked good. He feels a lot better.”
Rodriguez has been out since June 1 with shoulder inflammation. The Sox will decide in a day or two if he is ready for a minor league game.
Yu Chang would be playing regularly at shortstop if healthy. But his left hand remains sore after having surgery to remove a broken hamate bone in April.
“I don’t want to say slower than we thought because he had surgery,” Cora said of Chang’s recovery. “It’s a matter of how much he can handle and there are certain swings he feels uncomfortable with. We have to make sure he’s OK.”
John Schreiber, out since May 16 with a shoulder strain, is playing catch out to 90 feet and feels good. Once his arm strength is built up, he will pitch off a mound.
Schreiber has a 2.20 ERA over 82 appearances the last two seasons.
Lefthander Richard Bleier, conversely, is still not ready to throw. He has been out since May 22 with a sore shoulder.
Rusty rivalry?
The Red Sox playing the Yankees will always be meaningful. But do the games still merit being on national television as often as they are?
The teams played on Fox (Saturday) and ESPN (Sunday) last week in New York and are scheduled for the same this weekend at Fenway Park.
“I think it’s too much sometimes,” Cora said. “Back-to-back Sunday night games? With all due respect to ESPN, come on. There’s other teams out there and people want to watch them.
“For how good the ratings are going to be on Father’s Day, Red Sox-Yankees on back-to-back weekends? You’re probably going to do something else with your family because you saw it last weekend.”
Once this series is over, the teams won’t meet again until Aug. 18 in New York. With the new schedule, division rivals play four times instead of six.
“It’s weird. It is,” Cora said. “It’s a lot different.
Weather woes?
The teams are scheduled to play the second game of the series at 7:15 p.m. Saturday but heavy rain is in the forecast . . . Aaron Judge received another platelet-rich plasma injection on his sprained right toe, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who said Judge continues to make progress on an injury that has him sidelined for the second time this season. Boone didn’t rule out a return before the All-Star break . . . The pre-game ceremonies included the Sox recognizing families who lost loved ones to gun violence. Christian Heyne, vice president of policy and programs for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, threw out the first pitch.

Yankees @ Red Sox
17 June 2023
7pm @ Fenway
Schimdt 2-6/ 4.70
Bello 3-4/ 3.78
Saturday, June 17, 2023 at 7:15pm EDT
Written by The Tower
These rivals squared off last weekend in the Bronx, but this time, the New York Yankees (39-30) have hit the road. They're facing the despised Boston Red Sox (34-35) in front of the Fenway faithful. New York is also trying to avenge a series loss to this team last weekend. The weekend series kicked off on Friday night and will continue with this battle on Saturday if the weather holds up. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. EDT from Fenway Park. With a national spotlight and a Green Monster looming, let's see what's in store for this rivalry.
Yankees Holding Court Without the Judge
Aaron Judge's highlight catch against the Dodgers to help secure a win landed him back on the IL. That's terrible news for a Yankees team that entered Boston averaging only 3.50 runs per game without him in the lineup. For context, the A's average is 3.62 per game, the lowest mark in the majors. There were rumors that Harrison Bader would return too, an upgrade to the lineup and defense of this club, but the new reports indicate he'll be back on Tuesday. So, this team will have to get creative to score runs, as their other big bats are struggling too. Anthony Rizzo just ended the longest hitless streak of his MLB career, Giancarlo Stanton is slashing .138/.265/.379 since returning from his injury, Josh Donaldson is basically a home run or an out every time he's at the plate, and DJ LeMahieu is a shell of himself. They need to take advantage of every opportunity if they want to score.
Pitching continues to keep this team afloat, particularly a bullpen that leads the league in ERA. The Yankees keep finding relievers that get the job done in most of their chances. Clarke Schmidt is tasked with handing them the ball in a close game, something he's managed to do often lately. Even if New York has lost his last four starts. Schmidt has a 2.33 ERA in his last five outings, including 5.1 innings of one-run ball against Boston in his last start. Looking at the scores of those four games that resulted in losses, the Yankees only managed five total runs (a high mark of two in one game). Schmidt has seemingly turned the corner, even after getting thrust into a larger role than expected because of injuries.
Boston Bats Coming Back
Between the second game of a June 3 doubleheader and their game on June 12, the Red Sox scored 25 runs in 10 games. That 2.5 runs per game average is well below their eighth-ranked 4.9 average. Well, they closed out their series against the Rockies with consecutive six-run nights. Offense drives this Boston team and they're going to need it if they want to make these games easy. Along with MLB's sixth-best strikeout rate, the Red Sox are top-10 in average, OBP, and slugging. With the league's RBI leader in Rafael Devers, this is a batting order that can give pitchers fits. Especially at home.
What happens on the mound is a different story. Boston is 22nd in team ERA this year, even with a bullpen that's vastly improved from 2022. The rotation has been a mess, although Brayan Bello is beginning to emerge as a rock. Since May began, Bello has had a 2.93 ERA, with his last start coming in Yankee Stadium. He pitched 7.0 innings on Sunday night, allowing only two runs in an eventual Red Sox extra-innings win. His home run percentage is significantly higher than his rate last season, but otherwise, he's showing growth from his 2022 rookie campaign.

RED SOX NOTEBOOK
Jarren Duran is clearly an impact player for the Red Sox, but how do they get him into the lineup?By Julian McWilliams Globe Staff,Updated June 15, 2023, 8:02 p.m. I continue to hope that I am wrong, but I continue not to see anything in Duran. After May 1st, Duran has one HR in 119 ABs, with a 40/11 K/W. Extrapolate that to 600 ABs, and it is 5 HRs and 200 strikeouts. Despite the high K/W ratio, he's been having a fine offensive season. That said, you are right to have concern. Some of his peripherals don't bode well for him. He's not that young, but he is relatively inexperienced at the major league level. Maybe the discipline will improve. Personally, I love seeing him in the lineup. |

Game 71: Lineups and notes as Red Sox-Yankees threatened by rain at FenwayBy Amin Touri Globe Staff,Updated June 17, 2023, 1 hour ago After thumping the Yankees in Friday’s season opener, the Red Sox can climb back over .500 with another win on Saturday evening. Brayan Bello has always thrown well against New York — he’ll have the ball Saturday looking to recreate his start in the Bronx last weekend, when he allowed two runs in seven innings in a Sox win. Clarke Schmidt opposed Bello last weekend and will do so again Saturday; he threw 5 ⅓ innings of one-run ball, but came away with a no-decision in the loss. Rain is forecasted throughout the afternoon and evening and could potentially wash out the middle stanza of a three-game set. Lineups YANKEES (39-31): TBA Pitching: RHP Clarke Schmidt (2-6, 4.70 ERA) RED SOX (35-35): 1. Alex Verdugo (L) RF 2. Justin Turner (R) 1B 3. Rafael Devers (L) 3B 4. Adam Duvall (R) CF 5. Masataka Yoshida (L) DH 6. Christian Arroyo (R) 2B 7. Jarren Duran (L) LF 8. Enrique Hernandez (R) SS 9. Reese McGuire (L) C Pitching: RHP Brayan Bello (3-4, 3.78 ERA) Time: 7:15 p.m. TV, radio: Fox, WEEI-FM 93.7 Yankees vs. Bello: Jake Bauers 0-3, Oswaldo Cabrera 2-8, Willie Calhoun 0-3, Josh Donaldson 1-5, Isiah Kiner-Falefa 0-2, DJ LeMahieu 1-3, Billy McKinney 1-3, Anthony Rizzo 0-5, Giancarlo Stanton 0-3, Gleyber Torres 3-8, Jose Trevino 2-8 Red Sox vs. Schmidt: Christian Arroyo 0-1, Triston Casas 1-4, Rafael Devers 0-5, Jarren Duran 2-3, Kiké Hernández 1-5, Reese McGuire 1-3, Rob Refsnyder 0-1, Pablo Reyes 0-2, Justin Turner 1-2, Alex Verdugo 1-3, Masataka Yoshida 0-2 Stat of the day: The Red Sox scored a season-high 15 runs in Friday’s win over the Yankees. Notes: Bello has a 2.80 ERA over his last eight starts. He allowed two runs in the second inning and then retired 16 of the last 19 batters he faced over seven innings last week against New York. Two of the 24-year-old’s last four starts have spanned seven frames, while he has gone for six innings in three of four ... Red Sox starters have a 3.51 ERA in their last 27 games, allowing two or fewer earned runs in 20 of them ... The Yankees have lost six of their last 10 games while without Aaron Judge, who is sidelined with a toe injury ... Schmidt has a 2.33 ERA over his last five starts, all of which have lasted at least five innings. He did not reach that mark to qualify for a win in any of his first four starts of the season ... Tanner Houck suffered a facial contusion and needed stitches after taking a line drive to the face in Friday’s game.
