Still want to trade Brad Penny? Although Penny did not get the win last night he went six scoreless innings only walking one batter and struck out five. Boston rallied in the eighth inning, how fitting, to beat the New York Yankees 4-3 to start the season 8-0 against...

It’s not how you start. It’s how you finish. Ask Tim Wakefield. Wakefield, known for his lack of patience to start innings, gave up three early runs in the second inning. But, Boston knew that Dontrelle Willis would eventually crack. He did just that....

Daisuke Matsuzaka and Terry Francona were both in search of wins. Both, for different reasons. Matsuzaka earned his first victory of the 2009 season pitching 5 innings, yielding six hits, one run, three walks and six strikeouts. Francona won his 500th game as a...

Change can often be difficult. The Boston Red Sox lineup adapted quite easily. Boston collected 11 hits including two homers from Kevin Youkilis, a three-run shot by Dustin Pedroia and a solo-blast from Jason Bay to beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-2. Terry Francona...

Toronto may sit atop the A.L. East Divisional standings presently, but one thing is for sure. The Blue Jays haven’t done anything against the teams that matter most. Boston is 3-0 against Toronto with their recent sweep of the Blue Jays. The New York Yankees...

David Ortiz is finally smiling again. And so is Red Sox Nation. In the fifth inning after Jason Varitek belted his second homer of the game, Big Papi ended his 149 at-bat homerless drought with a two-run home run to center field. Then the Red Sox launched two more big...
