Red Sox bats rescue Brayan Bello’s strong start with third walk-off win of the month

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:23 GMT

“Induce them to quick outs and be efficient, and give us five or six innings.”That was Alex Cora’s hope and request of Brayan Bello ahead of his Saturday afternoon start against the Cleveland Guardians.Bello complied with a strong, effective outing, but it was nearly spoiled by one of the bullpen’s worst outings of the season. A strong showing by the lineup, particularly the bottom half, pulled off a 10th-inning 8-7 victory.Despite a bleeding blister on the index finger of his pitching hand, Bello mostly breezed through five innings of one-run ball. After allowing a leadoff hit, he settled down and only allowed four more over his time on the mound. The 23-year-old righty didn’t issue a walk until the fifth, when the blister situation worsened. Despite walking a pair, he got out of the inning. Dating back to Sept. 14, 2022, he’s issued no more than two walks in each of his last seven starts.“This is a team that, they’re going to put the ball in play,R...

Chris Perkins: How do they fit? A closer look at Dolphins’ 2023 draft class

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:23 GMT

The 2023 NFL draft was low-key for the Dolphins because they didn’t have a first-round pick and only had four selections overall. The Dolphins lost one first-round pick in the Tom Brady/Sean Payton tampering decision and the other in the deal to acquire edge rusher Bradley Chubb.Still, they improved their team talent by selecting cornerback Cam Smith in the second round and running back Devon Achane in the third round.Smith makes the defensive backs room even deeper and more talented. He’ll likely battle for a starting spot in the nickel package, where the Dolphins are fairly veteran-laden.Achane will battle for playing time as a running back and/or as a slot receiver.In the sixth round the Dolphins selected Stanford tight end Elijah Higgins, who will convert from wide receiver, and Michigan offensive tackle Ryan Hayes, who could be moved inside to guard.Here’s a closer look at each:Cornerback Cam Smith, South Carolina, second round (No. 51)Smith adds to an already...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:23 GMT

Climbing through the Orioles’ minor league system, Grayson Rodriguez and DL Hall competed whenever they pitched, even if they shared an organization and even if they played for different affiliates.However Baltimore’s top pitching prospects could, they sought to one-up each other. In a given week, they would pursue the most innings, the highest strikeout totals, the best outing. On Saturday, the first day the dynamic young pitchers shared in the majors, those competitions all went to Rodriguez.After Hall struck out seven over three innings of two-run relief in the first game of Baltimore’s doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers, Rodriguez delivered five scoreless frames with nine strikeouts as the Orioles’ starter in the nightcap, a 6-4 victory that earned him his first major league win.Zach McKinstry opened Rodriguez’s night with a double, only to erase himself from the bases trying to advance to third on a ground ball to the left side, with shortstop...

Oklahoma RB Eric Gray highlights final draft day as Giants touch base with Saquon Barkley

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:23 GMT

Giants GM Joe Schoen picked elusive, pass-catching Oklahoma running back Eric Gray on the final day of the NFL Draft to add another weapon to Brian Daboll’s offense.“Super productive, really good hands out of the backfield, also has some elusiveness to him inside,” Schoen said of Gray. “He’s also done some returns in his past. He was comfortable catching punts at the Senior Bowl.”The Giants used their No. 172 overall pick in the fifth round on Gray to supplement a backfield that for now is missing Saquon Barkley. Barkley, 26, is unhappy with his contract situation, hasn’t signed his franchise tag tender and is staying away from the team facility.Schoen did say he “had conversations last week” with Barkley’s reps, at least, “touching base again” and agreeing to “circle up after the draft.” He didn’t commit to making any imminent offers either, though.“We’ll talk this coming week,R...
