Jansen struck out Tampa Bay’s first batter, Josh Lowe, on three pitches to begin the frame, but it went […]
The Red Sox were in a position to rally for the third time against the Rays in the bottom of the ninth inning but fell short, 7-5, after Tampa Bay benefitted from a seven-minute delay. With Rafael Devers on first and Rob Refsnyder on third, Rays pitching coach Kyle Snyder came out of the dugout […]
The Boston Celtics desperately needed an energy boost, and 37-year-old Al Horford took a veteran’s step forward in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Wednesday night.
