Nick Pivetta strikes out eight as Red Sox top Athletics 7-3

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:27 GMT

Since being taken out of the starting rotation in mid-May Nick Pivetta has emerged as a formidable weapon out of the bullpen, and Friday he made his strongest case yet for a potential return to full-time starting duty.Pivetta threw five strong innings of relief, allowing three runs on four hits while striking out eight, and the offense kept rolling for its sixth consecutive game with 10 or more hits en route to a decisive 7-3 win over the Oakland Athletics.As has been the case in many of his recent outings, Pivetta entered the game following an opener, this time left-hander Brennan Bernardino. The Athletics followed a similar strategy on their end, using lefty Sam Long to help keep the Red Sox from loading up with lefties at the top of the lineup.Bernardino got the job done, throwing a clean first before stranding runners at the corners for a scoreless second. Long started off strong, posting a scoreless first as well, but then things came unglued in the second when Alex Verdugo, Ki...

Ex-Yankee Jameson Taillon, Cubs spoil Carlos Rodón’s pinstripe debut

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:27 GMT

All eyes were on the Pinstripers’ new pitcher on Friday night, but a former Yankees starter did the team in for the second time this week.While Carlos Rodón looked fine in his long-awaited Yankees debut, Cubs starter Jameson Taillon held his previous employer to one measly hit over eight scoreless innings in a 3-0 win for Chicago. The right-handed Taillon, who pitched for the Yankees from 2021-2022 and left in free agency over the winter, entered the game with a 6.93 ERA, but he made easy work of a Bombers lineup that has often looked lost with Aaron Judge on the injured list.Taillon added two walks and four strikeouts over 102 pitches against his old team. The performance outdid Jordan’s Montgomery’s Sunday afternoon, when the ex-Yankee and current Cardinal blanked New York for 6.2 innings.As Taillon dominated in his return to the Bronx, Rodón threw 5.1 innings and 69 pitches in his first start for the Yankees. With his season delayed by a forearm strain...

Battle of NL disappointments kicks off as suddenly surging Mets take on Padres in Wild Card rematch

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:27 GMT

SAN DIEGO — The Mets and the San Diego Padres were supposed to be two baseball behemoths this year. They spent the money their billionaire owners deemed necessary to win and assembled star-studded rosters.Yet halfway through the season, the two teams that squared off in the NL Wild Card series last fall have identical 41-46 records and are second-to-last in their respective divisions. This wasn’t what either of these teams expected when they started the season.But the Mets arrived in San Diego this weekend with reasons for optimism after a three-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks that extended their winning streak to five games, which matched their season-high mark.“I’m just happy for the players,” said manager Buck Showalter. “They beat themselves up a lot. But we’re trying to end the break on a good note. Now we’ve got to move on against a really good pitcher tomorrow.”Francisco Lindor and Francisco Alvarez have been extra-...
