Laureano singles in Bogaerts in the 10th as the Padres walk-off the Red Sox, 5-4

Yahoo3 days ago
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Ramón Laureano singled in Xander Bogaerts from second base with no outs in the 10th inning and the San Diego Padres beat the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Saturday night.
With runners on first and second and the infield drawn in, Laureano, obtained from Baltimore at the trade deadeline, hit a chopper off off Garrett Whitlock (5-2) over third baseman Alex Bregman into left field. Bogaerts, who had a big game against his former team, scored.
Boston's Roman Anthony tied it in the ninth when a ground-rule double off All-Star closer Robert Suarez that brought in Ceddanne Rafaela.
Bogaerts homered, had an RBI single and walked.
Manny Machado cost San Diego at least one run with a failed hidden-ball trick before Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito walked in two straight runs during a fifth-inning meltdown that gave the Padres the lead.
With the Red Sox leading 3-2, Giolito allowed Fernando Tatis Jr.'s leadoff single in the fifth and then retired Machado and Luis Arreaz. But he then walked four straight batters, including Ryan O'Hearn and Ramón Laureano with the bases loaded, and was lifted.
Giolito walked Jackson Merrill on four straight pitches, threw only one strike to Bogaerts and O'Hearn and went to a full count against Laureano. He allowed four runs and five hits, walked six and struck out one.
Bogaerts, who signed a $280 million, 11-year free agent deal with the Padres in December 2022, homered leading off the second, his 10th, to tie it 1. He singled in Arraez with two outs in the third to pull the Padres to 3-2.
With one out in the top of the third, Jarren Duran took his lead off third base and Machado still had the ball after Alex Bregman was caught in a rundown on the previous play. With reliever Wandy Peralta on the rubber, Machado tagged Duran, who pointed to the mound. Third base umpire Scott Barry called a balk, and Duran scored to give Boston a 2-1 lead. Trevor Story moved from second to third.
By rule, the pitcher cannot be on the rubber for a hidden-ball trick to be legal. If another player tags a runner while the pitcher is on or straddling the rubber, it's a balk.
Masataka Yoshida then hit a grounder to bring in Story and make it 3-1.
Key moment
Laureano's winning single.
Key stat
Padres relievers Jeremiah Estrada, Adrian Morejon, Mason Miller, Suarez and Jason Adam (7-3) combined for 13 strikeouts from the fifth through 10th innings.
Up next
Red Sox RHP Brayan Bello (8-5, 3.03 ERA) and Padres RHP Dylan Cease (4-10, 4.60) are scheduled to start Sunday in the series finale.

Can the Celtics contend without Jayson Tatum?

Yahoo Sports senior NBA analyst Kevin O'Connor is joined by Slightly Biased to discuss Boston's outlook for the upcoming season without its superstar. Hear the full conversation on 'The Kevin O'Connor Show' and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript From Zach Campbell, the Eastern Conference is really wide open here. He says Jason Tatum comes back in March, and the Celtics find themselves in the Eastern Conference Finals. That's slightly biased, but spot on or so wrong, so wrong. I don't think the Celtics will even be trying to win games in March. I, a couple of days ago, I was looking at their roster, and this was after the Chris Boucher move, but I was looking at their team and I'm like, Is there a reason this team is not gonna be dreadful? I mean, I'm really trying in my brain to think about a reason why this team won't be trying to purposefully lose games after the trade deadline. I think this team is probably going to be much worse than even some of the people who are low on the team think it'll be. I think that Boston is gonna be happy to be in the lottery. Ultimately, the bullish case for Boston in terms of winning and competing next year is of course, Tatum returning. But it is Jaylen Brown being not only really good, but it's Derrick White taking a leap. I streamed on Twitch the other day, and Z in the chat said, Derrick White will get a bigger role and make the All-Star team and third team All-NBA. I think this is crazy. He is not going to be an All-NBA guy, but ultimately this is the bullish case for Boston. It's Brown being even better. It's Derrick White getting better. It's Pritchard being an 18 point per game guy with a heavier role on offense. Like, there is a bull case for Boston, I do think. So I think the thing with Derrick White, and it is different whenever you have maybe one, two, or three game stretches where it's like, All right, Derrick White's gonna have a bigger role because this guy's out versus an entire season. Part of, you know, there are people who made Derrick White fringe All-Star cases over the last few years, but that's because he's so good in his role playing off of Tatum, playing off of Jalen Brown. I really love Derrick White as a player, but it's more of a complimentary, you know, perfect type of glue guy that any team would want versus a guy who could step up and be the Robin and score 20 points a game. I mean, isn't that like a prerequisite to make the All-Star game? I don't know. I'm just not. I'm not high on the Celtics, really, and like you said, I think this is a perfect season for them to just be like, oh man, like, uh, Jalen Brown tweaked his ankle February 20th. We're just gonna take it easy and shut him down the rest of the season. I mean, aren't they still over the second apron despite everything they've done? That's insane how that's even possible. Close
