Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 15:23:58 GMT

Ryan Dempster knew it was going to be a different kind of day before he even got to the park.“I walked to the ballpark, because I lived close to the stadium, and you could feel it, you could feel this hum going on and everyone was excited,” the former Red Sox pitcher said. “Not for the Red Sox game, that was like the secondary or third thing going on that day, it was all for the marathon.”Dempster was the starter for that year’s 2013 Patriots Day game, which wound up being one of his best outings as a member of the Red Sox. The veteran held the Tampa Bay Rays to one run over seven innings while striking out 10, helping set up a thrilling finish that saw Mike Napoli hit a walk-off double for the 3-2 win.Of course, it’s what happened next that, for better or worse, cemented the day’s place in history.Approximately 41 minutes after the game ended two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon finish line, killing three and injuring hundreds.

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 15:23:58 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Julio Rodríguez isn’t getting many hittable pitches in the early stages of his second season, meaning the ones that are left over the plate can’t be missed. Especially when its a mistake with two strikes. Eugenio Suárez started Seattle’s big fourth inning with a solo home run, Rodríguez capped it with a three-run triple, and the Mariners rolled to a 9-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.“Every time they make a mistake, we’ve got to make them pay. I feel like that’s where you’ve got to make your money,” Rodríguez said. “There’s a lot of good guys out there and they have a lot of good control but they’re human just like we are. Being ready for those mistakes is going to lead you to better results.”Seattle won its third straight on the strength of one big offensive outburst against Colorado starter Ryan Feltner and a stellar outing on the mound from George Kirby. Suárez went opposite field with his second home run o...
