Evan: Something is keeping me from buying into these Red Sox. All the way, I mean. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the Yankees win the division. The Sox offense feels too tenuous, too reliant on inconsistent hitters getting hot. The Eduardo Nunez gravy train has already lasted longer than it should. With Hanley Ramirez, really anything out of him at this point feels like a bonus. If the starting pitching isn’t there, they don’t have the long ball at their disposal like others do. You talk about a playoff setting — if they’re scorching hot, they’ll be fine. That’s true of any team. But am I really supposed to be sold on Christian Vazquez as a hitter at this point? If not, then what about this lineup Continue to Article

TORONTO -- Roughed up in Cleveland his last time out, Boston's Chris Sale couldn't wait to get back on the mound. The down time between starts sure seemed to drag, however. "It seemed like a month," Sale joked. Maybe so, but it was definitely worth waiting for. Sale and two relievers combined on a four-hitter, Hanley Ramirez hit a solo home run and the Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0 on Tuesday night. Sale (15-6) fanned 11 in his ML-best 17th double-digit strikeout game, raising his league-leading total to 264. His 15 wins lead the AL. The left-hander, who matched a season-worst by allowing seven runs in his previous outing, gave up just three hits in seven innings. "Anytime you go out Continue to Article

Not to be outdone by other major MLB markets, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is on his way to Japan to scout superstar pitcher/outfielder Shohei Otani, according to the New York Post. Otani, who hits lefty and pitches righty, is batting .345 (49-for-142) with five homers and 21 RBIs in 44 games as a hitter for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters this season. Dodgers brass, including president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, scouted Otani in Japan two weeks ago. Continue to Article

BOSTON — When Rick Porcello was in Detroit, Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander were not the pitchers he modeled himself after. They throw too hard to mimic. Doug Fister, the veteran righty whose career is on a path to revival with the Red Sox, was easy to bounce ideas off. “We’re both sinker ballers,” Porcello said. “I felt like at that time, I was kind of plateauing as far as what I was able to do on the mound. I could get a ground ball. There were other parts of my game that were missing. I was having a lot of trouble generating strikeouts. We all know how important that is, especially with runners on base. Just overall kind of identity on how I was going to form a game plan and attack hitters. Continue to Article
