Alex Cora allowing him to stay in to finish six innings was notable, given how quickly he's turned to his bullpen. The hefty lead likely had a lot to do with it. And, so far, they have. Game 4 in Boston Tuesday night sure feels like a must-win for Houston. Alec Lewis: There are so many images that tell the tale of this one, but the one that I won't forget is Red Sox manager Alex Cora hugging Eduardo Rodriguez once Rodriguez entered the dugout after the sixth.
It a snapshot of the mutual respect between the Red Sox players and Cora, who still has yet to lose a series in the postseason. He has the Red Sox in prime position to take a considerable lead in this series, and to potentially instill loads of fear in whichever team moves on in the National League.
Buckley: Underdogs no more, Red Sox play with a chip on their shoulder they developed back in April. Ending the game in style! Catching the series lead! With Rafael Devers' home run, Red Sox are currently averaging 7. The '07 Red Sox averaged 7. The '04 Red Sox averaged 6. The '99 Red Sox averaged 6. For folks in Boston, this is as good as postseason offensive output gets.
Rafael Devers hit a solo shot off right-hander Ryne Stanek to make it Red Sox 12, Astros 3 in the bottom of the eighth. Devers has one arm. That swing still works. Scoop, there's a dozen! It's still Red Sox 11, Astros 3. He went by J. Martinez smoked another playoff homer, and the Red Sox lead In 26 career playoff games, Martinez has hit nine homers, driven in 30 runs and posted a 1. His hitting obsession has been so well-documented, but to think that 10 years ago he was a middling year-old hitter for the Houston Astros is wild.
The Sox are Just Dominating. Right-hander reliever Hansel Robles pitched the seventh for Boston, giving up a walk to Kyle Tucker before Yuli Gurriel grounded into a double play and Jose Siri popped out to end the inning. It was Boston's third homer of the night and its 19th home run of the postseason.
The Red Sox have hit 19 HR this postseason, 2nd-most by a team thru 8 games of a postseason run, behind only the Astros The joy of the post HR cart ride.
Well, that was a bit of an interesting exchange as Eduardo Rodriguez walked off of the mound. He turned to Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa and pointed at his wrist as if to mimic Correa's "my time" celebration from Game 1. Cora was pissed when Rodriguez taunted Correa pic. Eduardo Rodriguez's line: 97 pitches 65 strikes , nine swings-and-misses, 53 four-seamers, 21 cutters, 10 sinkers, nine changeups, four sliders.
He had one wobbly inning in an otherwise outstanding start. Six innings, three hits, three runs — all on a Kyle Tucker homer. He struck out seven and walked none. The Red Sox built an early, nine-run lead, and Rodriguez did his part to give most of the Boston bullpen a day off. Nine outs to go. Rodriguez finishes off six innings and 97 pitches. Cora gave Rodriguez a long hug when he got back to the dugout.

He finished just ahead of Cole. And he was strong against the Yankees during the regular season, managing a 3. In 7 postseason appearances Nathan Eovaldi has a 1. But he began to look vulnerable in his third time through the Yankees lineup, giving up a home run to Anthony Rizzo and an infield single to Aaron Judge. That was enough for Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who pulled Eovaldi from the game before further damage could be suffered. However, pitching into the sixth inning while holding the Yankees to one run was the effort Boston needed, working with a weaker bullpen.
Stanton had a fearsome second half of the season, slugging 20 home runs. And he hit well against Red Sox pitching this year, compiling a. He and Aaron Judge figured to be two major reasons why the Yankees could win Tuesday night. Stanton did his best to oblige, crushing two balls deep to left field.
But those drives ricocheted off the Green Monster instead of possibly leaving the ballpark, potentially costing the Yankees three runs. Yankees try to be aggressive on the bases, but a perfect relay from Enrique Hernandez to Xander Bogaerts to Kevin Plawecki nails Aaron Judge at home pic. But hitting to right field instead worked out with a home run in the ninth inning that cut the Boston lead to But it was too late and the Yankees needed a lot more.
