Wilyer Abreu's RBI single helps Red Sox to 5-3 win over Reds in completion of suspended game
BOSTON (AP) — Wilyer Abreu hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning Wednesday afternoon and the Boston Red Sox beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-3 in the completion of a game suspended by rain a night earlier. Trevor Story added an RBI double after Abreu's hit, sending Boston to its third win in four games after a six-game losing skid, its longest since September 2022. Spencer Steer hit a two-run homer for the Reds, who have dropped three of four. Brayan Bello (4-3) worked five innings of relief and Aroldis Chapman got the final three outs for his 15th save. With just a few thousand fans of the 32,355 paid attendance in Fenway Park, play resumed at 2:32 p.m. before Steer, the National League's reigning player of the week, hit an 0-1 cutter from Bello into the Green Monster seats to make it 3-2 in the fourth. The Red Sox won the opener of the three-game series Monday when Abreu became just the sixth player in major league history to hit an inside-the-park homer and grand slam in the same game. The previous was Roger Maris on August 3, 1958. Tuesday's game was halted after three innings, delayed 1 hour, 20 minutes before it was suspended. It was the Reds' second suspended game this season. The second part of this game lasted 2 hours, 9 minutes. Key moment With a pinch runner Nate Eaton on third and two outs, Abreu blooped a single to right against Lyon Richardson (0-3). Story then doubled off the center field wall. Key stat The Red Sox are a win away from getting back to .500 (43-44) this season. Up next Reds RHP Nick Martinez (5-8, 4.12 ERA) is scheduled to pitch the regularly scheduled nightcap. Red Sox manager Alex Cora hadn't announced a starter yet. ___ AP MLB:

The Boston Celtics should avoid a Jaylen Brown trade
The Boston Celtics are in a tough spot. Even after trading away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and seeing Luke Kornet leave for the San Antonio Spurs in free agency, Boston is still marginally over the second apron courtesy of the decision to sign Josh Minott. If Stevens is genuinely looking to reduce the current payroll, he may be forced to part with Jaylen Brown. The 2024 NBA Finals MVP is entering the second year of a five-year, $285 million contract. He will earn $53.1 million next season, and that number will continue to increase year-on-year. Advertisement During a recent episode of WEEI's "Jones and Keefe" podcast, hosts Adam Jones and Meghan Ottolini share their thoughts on why trading Brown would be a mistake for Boston. They explain how his skill set helps the Celtics and why Brown shouldn't be part of any trade discussions in the near future.

Red Sox Trade Idea Replaces Alex Bregman With Eugenio Suarez
Red Sox Trade Idea Replaces Alex Bregman With Eugenio Suarez originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Unlike the Boston Red Sox, the Arizona Diamondbacks have been one of the unluckiest teams in Major League Baseball. They've dealt with many injuries, sitting at 41-42 and 11.0 games back in the loaded National League West. Advertisement For the Red Sox, while they've also dealt with some injuries, they stand at 41-44 and are eight games back in the American League East. Regardless, there's reason to believe that the Diamondbacks could help the Red Sox out at the trade deadline, depending on what Boston plans to do. When recently looking at trade candidates around Major League Baseball, CBS Sports proposed the idea of the Red Sox trading for Eugenio Suarez, a third baseman for the Diamondbacks who has legitimate power in his right-handed bat. Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (2) reacts during the game against the Texas Jairaj-Imagn Images 'What makes Suárez so effective? He has both strength (more than half his batted balls have cleared 95 mph) and an attack plan that focuses on lifting and pulling the ball (as of this writing, his ground-ball percentage is less than 30%). Add in how he's playable at third base, and the Diamondbacks employ one of the summer's most desirable rental bats if they decide to sell,' they wrote. Advertisement Adding Suarez would further complicate some of the infield issues the Red Sox have dealt with. However, if they're going just for a pure bat, there's a reason to believe this type of trade could work out perfectly. He already has 26 home runs on the year and a 143 OPS+. Putting him in the middle of the Red Sox lineup would be a blessing at the current moment, so if they want to improve offensively, there's reason to believe he could fit.
