It will be harder and take longer than that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1895\">Presidential museum showcases political and personal sides of Obama with sprawling community campus<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Seventeen runs in Baltimore on April 25, the day they fired their manager, didn\u2019t do it. Neither did Willson Contreras\u2019 late game-winning home run in Atlanta on May 16. Nor sweeps in Detroit and Kansas City last month. Over and over, any modicum of momentum has been met with a return to listlessness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So in the wake of an 8-1 win over the Orioles on Wednesday, about as well-rounded a performance as they have put together all year, there were no big takeaways, no ultra-optimism from the Sox. Merely a mandate to show up and try to do it again the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Wilyer Abreu\u2019s three RBIs, Ceddanne Rafaela\u2019s three hits, and Payton Tolle\u2019s six shutout innings will mean only what the Red Sox (26-34) can make it mean in the weeks to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Isiah Kiner-Falefa elaborates on, but doesn\u2019t clarify, ominous comments about Red Sox home performance<\/div>\n<p><span>\u201cIt shows what we\u2019re capable of. It\u2019s there,\u201d said Tolle, who lowered his ERA to 2.28. \u201cSo just kind of taking it, momentum, leaving it, going to the next one. And just continue to have fun playing the game.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In front of an announced sellout crowd of 36,872, every member of the Red Sox starting lineup had a hit by the end of the fifth inning. They scored five runs in that frame \u2014 more than they have totaled in 20 of 30 home games this year. They matched their Fenway Park season-best in runs and hits (15).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The offensive breakout was \u201cmuch-needed, especially at Fenway Park,\u201d Contreras said. The Sox own a 10-20 home record.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI see a lot of people talking [expletive] about us,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to take that personally, and we have to have some pride about our career and our game, and we showed up tonight to win.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rafaela said: \u201cThe fans bring the energy every day and we felt the vibe today and it was fun like it always is. Winning at Fenway is fun and that\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to accomplish.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Caleb Durbin finished 2 for 4 with two runs scored and another double. He has registered an extra-base hit in six consecutive games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In that big bottom of the fifth, the Sox got a key assist from the Orioles (29-33) when center fielder Blaze Alexander completely lost Mickey Gasper\u2019s routine fly ball. It turned into a two-run triple. Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Durbin, and Rafaela followed with run-scoring hits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1893\">Trump says he\u2019s nominating Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cSeeing the hits pile up and stacking hits and adding on runs and continuing to add on runs here was a welcome sight,\u201d interim manager Chad Tracy said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Red Sox reached righthander Chris Bassitt for three runs in three innings. Abreu contributed an RBI single in the first and blasted a two-run home run \u2014 an estimated 398 feet down the right-field line, just fair \u2014 in the third. It was his first long ball since May 8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Powering through slightly diminished velocity, Tolle was plenty effective, posting his second scoreless outing in eight games this season. He scattered seven hits and two walks and held the Orioles to 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Perhaps the most critical of those came in the first inning, after Baltimore had two on and one out and Adley Rutschman was caught trying to steal second for the second out. Tolle ended the threat by tying up Pete Alonso, who swung at and missed on a cutter way inside. It was his 25th pitch of the inning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe first inning got weird. It was like I couldn\u2019t really feel anything in the zone,\u201d Tolle said. \u201cSettled in after that, got back to just pounding zone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rafaela collided chin-first with the center-field wall in the seventh inning in a failed pursuit of Rutschman\u2019s RBI triple. He was slow to get up but stayed in the game and doubled in his next at-bat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe hardest I\u2019ve hit a wall,\u201d Rafaela said. \u201cThe whole body got shocked right there, but thankfully I\u2019m OK.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rookie reliever Ryan Watson tossed the final three innings (one run) to record the first save of his career. The statistical note wasn\u2019t on his radar until pitching coach Andrew Bailey reminded him after the eighth what three more outs would mean.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He kept the lineup card from the game and the ball from the final out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt was funny, because I was starting to run out of steam there, but then [Bailey] said that and it fired me up,\u201d Watson said. \u201cSo I just tried to lock back in and get it going again, get back in there, and try to close it out for the guys.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1891\">Trump administration has separated dozens of children from their parents for a second time, AP finds<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wilyer Abreu\u2019s three RBIs, Ceddanne Rafaela\u2019s three hits, and Payton Tolle\u2019s six shutout innings will mean only what they can make it mean in the weeks to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1896,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
