#YANKEES RED SOX SERIES#
Story will be out until at least next Saturday.The New York Yankees (61-23) and Boston Red Sox (45-39) continue a 4-game AL East rivalry series at Fenway Park.
He was 0-for-3 on Saturday and is now 3-for-22 (.136) with 11 strikeouts. But Bradley has made sensational plays in center since being moved back there and might have to stick at the position going forward.ĭowns, meanwhile, has looked solid on defense but is taking some non-competitive at-bats. The easy answer is the Sox wanted to take an extended look at Duran in center, but that has been a disaster, and that playing right field at Fenway Park is often trickier than playing center. taking over in center field this weekend as Jarren Duran was shifted over to right field, and Jeter Downs becoming the everyday second baseman while Trevor Story is on the 10-day injured list recovering from a bruised hand.īradley has looked so good in center field - surprise, surprise - that it’s worth asking why he’s been stuck in right field since Kiké Hernandez went on the injured list in early June. The Red Sox have two new regulars in center field and second base, with Jackie Bradley Jr. Bradley shines in center, Downs struggling at the plate 524 (11-for-21) with four homers and 11 RBI in six games against the Sox this year. The Yankees scooped him up immediately, signed him to a $1-million deal and have been playing him regularly against right-handed pitching ever since. The Texas Rangers signed him in March, but confusingly released him in May, despite Carpenter hitting. 671 OPS in that span, despite making roughly $52 million in the final three years of his long-term deal. The Yankee Stadium crowd gave Carpenter a curtain call as he now has 13 homers with 30 RBI in his first 30 games with the Yankees.Īn MVP candidate for the Cardinals as recently as 2018, Carpenter struggled mightily from 2019-21, hitting. Carpenter looks like a hidden gemĪfter Pivetta was pulled for lefty Darwinzon Hernandez rather than facing the left-handed hitting Carpenter a third time in the fifth inning, Carpenter fell behind 0-2 and then got a juicy slider that he demolished for another three-run homer, this one putting the Red Sox away for good. Rookie Kutter Crawford has done a good job of late, but the Sox rotation has fluctuated a lot over the last month, leading to a 6-13 record since June 27. The Red Sox will have to rely on Chris Sale and Nathan Eovaldi to carry the load in the rotation for the time being with Pivetta struggling, Josh Winckowski on the COVID-19 related injury list and Michael Wacha and Rich Hill both on the injured list. His season ERA has jumped from a 3.23 ERA three starts ago to 4.50, likely negating any chance he had at being a last-minute substitute for the AL All-Star team. His velocity was down about 1 mph on Saturday while his spin rate on breaking balls was down about 10%. Over his last three starts he’s allowed a stunning 20 earned runs over 13 1/3 innings (13.50 ERA) while walking seven batters with just 13 strikeouts. Pivetta’s final line: 4 1/3 innings, seven runs, seven hits, three walks and four strikeouts.Īfter an 11-start stretch from May 7 through June 29 in which Pivetta was one of the best pitchers in baseball while going 8-1 with a 1.95 ERA, he’s struggled to get outs.
He added his 33rd off Kaleb Ort in the sixth inning, tying Roger Maris (1961) for the Yankees’ record for the most homers before the All-Star break.Īnthony Rizzo singled and Giancarlo Stanton doubled before Pivetta was pulled two batters later with Carpenter due up again. Pivetta found a little bit of a groove until the fifth, when Judge hit a leadoff homer on a good slider at the bottom of the zone. He left a hanging curve to Carpenter in the first inning, when Carpenter demolished it for the first of two three-run homers on the night, quickly putting the Red Sox in a 4-1 hole after Rafael Devers had homered in the top of the first. His slider was the only thing going for him, but he couldn’t get any swing-and-misses on his fastball or use his curveball effectively. Pivetta looked like a one-pitch pitcher on Saturday.
