Kike Hernandez Stays Hot Against Yankees

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez kept up his hot hitting Friday night, going 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored. He didn't have an extra-base hit in this one, but one single off the Green Monster would've been a home run in most parks. Hernandez now has a modest four-game hit streak, […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Leaves Friday’s Contest

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez exited Friday's contest against the New York Yankees. The lefty lasted only one inning before his premature exit.
