Jackie Bradley Jr. continues to streak f
In the midst of yet another offensive outburst from the Red Sox, outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his hitting streak to 26 gamesSaturday.
Since 2006, only Manny Ramirez (27) has enjoyed a longer hitting streak for the Red Sox than Bradley's. But it wasn't Bradley wholedBoston to a 9-1 win against theIndians it was fellow outfielder Mookie Betts.
MORE:
Bettswent 3 for 5 with three runs scored, two home runs including a grand slam and five RBIs. He was also part of the defensive unit that helped starting pitcher Joe Kelly take a Rex Burkhead Jerseys perfect game into the fifth inning and a no-hitter into the seventh.
Kelly ultimately lost his no-hitter with two outs in the seventh inning when Juan Uribe doubled to deep right center. But he was already over 100 pitches, so his day was destined to end soon anyway.
The Red Sox (26-17)entered the game having lost three offourbutare still 12-7 in May after Saturday's win.
Player of the Day:
Tigers outfielder Cameron Maybin continued to rake the baseball Saturday by collecting three hits, his first home run in his short season and two runs scored in a 5-4 win against the Rays. He is 11 for 17 in five games since his return from shoulder and wrist injuries Vince Wilfork Jerseys .
Highlight:
Mariners outfielder Franklin Gutierrez hits every bit of a 473-foot home run:
Franklin Gutierrez just hit a baseball 473 ft. No joke:
MLB (@MLB)Three things to know:
David M.J. Stewart Jerseys Wright smacked his eighth career walkoff hit (most in Mets history) on Saturday. It's his first walkoff hit since July 2012 against the Phillies and it's the Mets' first walkoff win this season.
The Blue Jays dropped their fourth gamethis season when leading after seven innings, which is second-most in MLB behind the Reds (5).
At one point during Saturday's game,struck out for the14th time in 16 at bats. During that time, he swung at 11 slidersand whiffed on nine of them. Hebecame the secondplayer in past 50 years to go hitle s with 15 strikeouts in a five-game span.
What's Next:
Rays (20-20) at Tigers (20-22) at 1:10 p.m. ET Tampa Bay sends out Chris Archer (3-4, 4.38 ERA), who has settled down after a horrid start. Detroit will counter with Jordan Zimmermann (6-2, 2.45 ERA), who has struggled in his past three starts after dominating in April.
Indians (22-18) at Charlie Heck Jerseys Red Sox (26-17) at 1:35 p.m. Rick Porcello (6-2, 3.51 ERA) takes the mound for Boston as he tries to continue his hot start. But Danny Salazar (4-2, 1.80 ERA) is a tough guy to beat.
