“The Red Sox followed that performance up with five homers in game two, which came on Wednesday following a postponement due to rain on Tuesday, getting to Robbie Ray for three of them over four innings for a total five runs. Next up for the Red Sox is a four-game set against the Yankees. The first game went off as planned, though, and the Red Sox bats came alive immediately. Nick Pivetta didn’t have a great outing, giving up four runs on 11 hits over 6 2⁄3 innings, but by then the damage was already done and the Red Sox took game one 13-4.”

Salem W 4-2 Nick Yorke, 2B: 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 SB Gilberto Jimenez, LF: 1-4 Matthew Lugo, SS: 2-4 Nick Decker, RF: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K Ceddanne Rafaela, CF: 0-4, 1 R Nicholas Northcut, 1B: 2-3, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 R, 2 RBI Antoni Flores, 3B: 2-3, 2 2B, 1 R Shane Drohan (SP): 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 5 K (70 pitches) It’s nice to see Flores have some success up in full-season ball.”

” “Thank God for Buffalo,” Hernández said. As a team, the Red Sox homered six times over three games in their first road series against the Blue Jays, which was played at TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Fla. In a rain-shortened, two-game series in Buffalo, N.Y., the Red Sox made sure to get plenty of bang for their buck. In addition to Hernández’s three home runs over two games against Toronto, Boston received two each from Rafael Devers and Hunter Renfroe, as well as one apiece from Jarren Duran, Danny Santana, Michael Chavis and J.D.”
