Josh Winkowski to go one time through the batting order. He’s two and one with a 344. Er A that’s short. It’s Hamilton with the scoop and one away sharply on the back hand. Here’s Hamilton again.
Now Alvarez hitting 302. That’s seventh in the A E and Kowski, he’s had his struggles with left handed hitters and Alvarez hits it in the air pretty deep to right center field that sends back rafael and Abreu still going back looking up, see you later. Alvarez goes deep over the red Sox bullpen and the Astros lead one to nothing. Alvarez is 23rd of the year and he’s been on a tear again on the road trip. Alvarez loves hitting at Fenway Park.
There’s a couple of guys that do right. Your don has six home runs here in this stadium in 14 career games coming in, hitting four 60 picks up his 60th RP I of the season one behind Janer Diaz for the team lead and here is Yr standing in, there’s a ball towards the middle that will get through jr Diaz with three consecutive base hits in this series singles with two outs to center field, 12 and slapped to the right side scooped up by so to retire the side.
But a run on the board on the blast by Alvarez spencer, eric getting the start against the Boston Red Sox here at Fenway Park to be his first appearance against the Boston Red Sox pops one up. Bregman will give it a look in the sunshine and he is in fair territory, putting it away for the first out. This one’s popped up left side of the infield coming in.
Bregman. He’s waiting for it and makes the catch for out number two. And that’s a ground ball softly hit right side to his left. Altuve. He’s got it throws to first in time and it’s a 123 inning for Spencer, Eric.
Two outs. The bases are empty in the Houston second. Here’s Jake the pitch, fastball strike three called outside corner. No argument from myers when Kowski has his first strikeout two out.
Nobody on for Dominic smith.
32 swing and a miss got him on the big curveball and the side is retired first strikeout for eric yet he has set down the first six he’s faced, was getting hit hard in that first inning has settled in a little bit. He’s retired six in a row and this will probably be his last batter whether he gets them out or not because Jordan Alvarez is waiting on deck chopped to deep short long Hamilton gets it there in time. The Scop by Smith 123. They go long backhand in the six hole. Gets rid of it really quick.
But watch the pick on the back hand by Do Smith give me that Eric back out there.
Bottom of the third inning, bottom third of the lineup for Boston six up, six so far. Swing and a miss here get back to back strikeouts and starts the third inning by getting so guarding ball got him strike three, the big sweeping breaking ball that the sweeper for the strikeout three in a row for Spencer two outs in the inning. David. Next Sox have yet to have a man as far as first base, the 32 and it’s just off the plate outside ball four.
So a two out walk. So Hamilton the first baserunner for the Red Sox and now the dangerous Jaron Durant runner goes and a bobble there by Caratini, no throw and a stolen base and a relatively easy one there for Hamilton and he goes down on strikes here. Eric Getty comes back down three and one in the count to strike out perhaps the Red Sox best hitter this season to end the third.
So Keller on in relief for Winkowski, Red Sox going with an opener today and 12 and in there for strike three, he kind of bailed on the slider and found the strike zone two away and a fly ball in center field for Raffaello to make it a 123 innings pitcher, Eric Gettys pitching a heck of a game so far. Only baserunner was a two out walk last inning.
Struck out 41 out. Nobody on there’s a strike strike three.
Eric Getty got him with chatter 95 on that fastball, got him. Eric Getty picking up six strikeouts so far through four innings. Got Devers with the changeup.
Carini will lead off for the Astros in the top of the fifth brad Keller second inning of relief and that’s a ground ball through the right side of base hit the Astros first hit since the first inning. The pitch is strike three, a high slider and Keller has his second strikeout. Keller second man out of the bullpen gets a cut and a miss on a sweeper and strikes him out back to back cases. Mccormick Bats sends one into center field for a base hit. Caratini will stop at second mccormick like the first pitch he saw and has a clean single with two outs liner and caught by Don smith for out number three.
And that will retire the side. Two men stranded. Beautiful summer day hasn’t been beautiful for the red Sox hitters. They don’t have a hit yet through four innings against the 24 year old rookie Spencer, eric Getty. Here’s Danny Jansen who popped out his first time.
There’s a high fly ball this one deep to left field way back. It is gone. That’s getting even Danny Jansen touching them all and the Red Sox tied at 1 to 1 heads up down.
Hammer that ball was touched right there. A getty.
He’s had good stuff today. The shadows working in his, on both sides, swing and misses Jansen’s second home run in six games as a member of the Red Sox , the new medal, the Red Sox going to be using for their home run ceremony. You know, they’ve been using that ba A five K medal all season long Dave mcgilvery, the long time race director who retired last year and ran the marathon this year and he gave them his Boston marathon medal. And beginning today, the Boston Marathon medal will be what players wear after a home run. Let’s test it out.
Then look at the new metal going to work for Danny Jansen.
I love it. So the brand new medal and it’s only fitting that they’re in the city matches second time through the lineup. He gives up a lot of hard contact and some runs. Er, a almost second time through one out nobody on for nick Sogard swing and a miss rushed him with a fastball up and away and Sogard down on strikes seventh strikeout for a two away spencer.
He strikes out rafael with the curveball that is a strikeouts for spencer through five innings. First walk issued by Red Sox pitchers today and now it’s set up for Alvarez, who homered in the first Alvarez with home runs in three of his last four games. Hits one high down the right field line near the Pesky Pole. Does it have enough? Yes, it does.
Second home run of the day 44 gives the Astros three RBIs on two big swings and they lead this game three to 1 422 ft on that blast by Jordan. He is remarkable in the stadium. The Boston faithful have got to be to watch you on around the bases are working in the six as he’s trying to complete six innings for the fifth straight start swing and a miss got him on a changeup away man.
A he continues to deal that is his ninth strikeout and there are two away swing and a miss struck out on a fastball in spencer with a 1236 inning picks up his 10th strikeout his third double figure strikeout game of the season. And second in a row, here’s Bregman seven for his last 16.
He’s been hitting the ball hard. This ball hits the center field hit well, back on it goes Raphaella looking up, it’s gone. Alex Bregman drills one into the tarp in center field. Brey hits number 16 on the year and the Astros this game 4 to 1 bra. Did he get into that one?
That’s big boy territory to straight away center field at Fenway 423 ft on that blast by Bregman as well as he’s been swinging the bat here in recent weeks. He that up spencer, he goes out there for another inning. That has not been good news for the Red Sox.
Today. He’s allowed just one hit swinging a high drive deep down the right field line by Masa.
He crushed it to the corner and that ball is gone. His seventh home run of the year Red Sox on the board for the second time. Second solo home run today. Home runs only 109 off the bat 25 ft. So the new metal getting a workout here with two home runs today and the Red Sox are within two and that will bring up.
Devers got him strike 311 punch outs for eg. He got him with gas at 96 is best bolt and there’s one away. He does another swinging strike for a strikeout for Eric Getty matching his career high, which he set his last start. Good morning, good afternoon, good night. Three straight fastballs in the mid nineties just blown past Danny Jansen.
Give it to a 13 punch for spencer Ariti his career best seven strong here in Boston and he leads 4 to 2 as he heads for the dugout. Now it’s Zack Dezo base hit his last time Decenzo. Now with four hits as a big leaguer de Zenzo gets into one first big league home run is at Fenway over the monster and over the seats out of the ballpark, zack Dunzo makes it 5 to 2 Astros.
Got a hanging change up and went into launch mode 437 ft. He’s got his first home run, first RB.
I, he’s never going to see that baseball again. He hit it that far. It’s in the parking lot on Lansdowne. Right. Yeah, somebody’s pulling that out of the windshield right now as he gets the silent treatment.
Nobody really cares how far he hit it. Wow, not one bit of love. They’re holding strong. Two, 4, 37 is not good enough for any respect for the dugout.
There you go.
That’s so great Astros with a 52 lead in Boston bottom of the eighth. Brian into the game hard ground ball at the bat of Rafaella and that’s through the left side of the infield for his first hit of the day and a liner in the left center field, a base hit. He’s on his way to third. The Sox have a couple of men on here with two down and the tying run is Will Abreu first time today they had more than one base runner in any inning driven to right field.
That is down for a base hit that’s going to score two runs.
Both men in Raffaele and Durant Will Abreu Sox one to right field that makes it a ball game 5 to 4. Just something about the Sox. They don’t stop fighting such a big deal when e he was done after seven, they had to go to the pen and the Red Sox pounced fella a base head Durant, a base hit and Then William with the big 154 to the ninth innings. We go nice to see Chris Mart-n back in the fold. Right hander instated from the Il Wednesday 22 to mccormick down.
He goes foul tip to the strikeout one gone hard hit and a play made by Rafi, a line drive. He caught it two down. Nice play by Raffy too because this one of those sinkers. It’s almost like a slider coming at you. Here’s Bregman Alvarez on deck that Sox must keep him there at to center field.
Alex Bregman. It’s another line drive. He has been a line drive machine since the all star break two out page runner for the Astros.
And that means Alvarez will swing and a little pop up here. Long run for Raffy coming hard after he gets there in foul ground out.
Number three, we are going to the bottom of the ninth and the Red Sox rally to win it into this ballgame is the closer for the Houston Astros that is Josh Hader. He’s converted 2425. Rafael Devers will lead it off has a shot driven out to left, rising up up up to the wall and it’s off the monster raffi to second base and he doubles off the green had a great start here in the ninth through seven. The Red Sox had two hits last couple of innings. They have four.
Here’s Jansen that’s popped up. Playable Caratini behind the plate, fires the mask away and goes down to a knee to make sure he secured that pop up. That is out number one and a big out not advancing the runner. And now Rob Rep Snyder announced as the pinch hitter for smith and that’s popped up out in the shallow center coming in myers under. It makes the catch and the Red Sox are down to their final out.
So the Sox are down to their last man, Roy Gonzalez hit for so guard went zero for three, got a ball game over Hater set a new franchise record 25 consecutive. The Astros have won four in a row and they’re back in first place by a half game brilliant start by Spencer eric get some brilliant at bats by the Astros driving the ball out of the ballpark here at Fenway and Then a brilliant end to it. Astros have won five straight games at Fenway Park defeating the Red Sox 5 to 4..
