Red Sox 4, White Sox 2: Victory at the finish line
Photo ByFor the first time since 2017, the Red Sox have won the Marathon Monday game! The script of today's game felt really similar to the whole series. Score early, hold on for absolute dear life. Credit goes to Aroldis Chapman for taking down the revenge at-bat for Bobby Dalbec—that looked weird seeing him in another uniform. Dalbec striking out felt like a little bit of poetry. In any case, a 13th win of the season feels really good to keep holding serve in the AL East.
Three Studs
Walker Buehler (Win, 7.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 9 K)
His first inning was rocky but once he settled down he was outstanding. It's exactly the type of outing they need consistently from a middle of the order rotation guy.
Trevor Story (3-for-4, 1 RBI, 1 run scored)
He may be the most consistent member of this Red Sox squad in 2025. Solid and contributing all the way around.
Kristian Campbell (2-for-3, 2 RBI, 1 BB)
A fantastic day at the dish for Campbell, who's looking more and more comfortable at the big league level with every series come and gone.
Three Duds
Triston Cass (0-for-4)
I feel so bad for Triston because I know how much he's beating himself up for it. He's had a rough season so far and today was no exception.
Carlos Narvaez (0-for-4)
I don't know if he has much competition right now between Blake Sabol and Yasmani Grandal warming up in Worcester, but today wasn't a great day compared to the rest of the series for Narvaez.
Wilyer Abreu (0-for-3, 1 BB, 3 Ks)
Not a golden sombrero but a silver one? Maybe just a regular old straw hat one? Three Ks in the game isn't pretty.
Play of the Game
A home run is flashy, but give me Campbell's two-run single in the third. Any time you have the bases loaded, you have to take something from it—especially with what feels like a creeping issue with offense with RISP. Padding the lead for the victory is worthy of a game-making play.

Yankees' Aaron Boone Announces Giancarlo Stanton News After Loss to Guardians
Yankees' Aaron Boone Announces Giancarlo Stanton News After Loss to Guardians originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Yankees (37-23) have played well without slugger Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) so far, as they're 5.5 games ahead atop the AL East heading into Thursday's matchup with the Cleveland Guardians (33-27). However, the 35-year-old could give them the extra push they need to secure the AL's top seed. Advertisement Stanton mashed 27 homers and notched 72 RBI in 114 regular-season games last year before slashing .273/.339/.709 with seven homers and 16 RBI in 14 playoff contests. The designated hitter has 18 homers and 40 RBI in 41 career postseason games, all with New York. Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided an update about Stanton's rehab on Thursday, via The Athletic's Chris Kirschner. New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (27).© Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images "Aaron Boone said Giancarlo Stanton could possibly begin a rehab assignment next week," he reported. Stanton hasn't played 140 games in a season since 2021 and hasn't hit 30-plus homers in a season since 2022. The Miami Marlins, then called the Florida Marlins, selected Stanton No. 76 overall in the 2007 MLB Draft. The five-time All-Star got called up in June 2010 and hit 30-plus homers in three of his next four seasons. He also won the NL MVP award in 2017 after slashing .281/.376/.631 with 59 homers and 132 RBI in 159 games. Advertisement The Marlins then dealt Stanton to the Yankees in December 2017 for infielder Starlin Castro, two minor leaguers, and cash considerations. He won the 2024 ALCS MVP award, helping New York beat the Guardians in five games. Left-handed pitcher Max Fried (7-1, 1.92 ERA) will start for the Yankees on Thursday night.

Pedro Martínez's Latest Comments Leave Red Sox Fans in Disbelief
Pedro Martínez's Latest Comments Leave Red Sox Fans in Disbelief originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the late Don Zimmer knows all too well, Pedro Martínez wore a Boston Red Sox uniform when their rivalry with the New York Yankees truly mattered. Advertisement Over two decades after his final Yankees-Red Sox game, Martínez has no problems praising the Bronx Bombers when credit is due. However, the Hall of Fame pitcher left his devoted fans flabbergasted with his analysis during Tuesday's Yankees-Kansas City Royals game. 'The thing that impresses me the most is how the Yankees [present] themselves,' Martínez wrote on Twitter/X. 'The culture that they have,' Martínez added. 'It's a presence unlike anybody else. It must be the pinstripes.' Boston Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martínez in 1998RVR Photos-Imagn Images Did someone at the TBS studios in Georgia steal Martínez's phone? Has he finally seen the light, and he'll report to Yankee Stadium this summer in a replica Derek Jeter jersey? Advertisement Either way, Red Sox fans aren't thrilled with their longtime ace. 'Did I just read a tweet where Pedro is talking good about the Yankees???' one fan wrote. Added another: ' me, WHAT? Is Pedro heavily medicated right now? This is not the Pedro I remember.' Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez in 2019Jasen Vinlove-Imagn Images Plenty of Yankees fans, understandably, welcomed Martínez to their fanbase. Evidently, all is forgiven when a Red Sox great praises a team for their 'presence.' 'Blink twice if you're in danger,' an X/Twitter user quipped. 'We are living in the End Times,' another fan bemoaned.

Roman Anthony's first MLB hit is a 2-run double that propels Red Sox past Rays
Roman Anthony's second MLB game went better than his first. And it helped lead the Red Sox to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Anthony went 0-for-4 with an RBI and an error in his MLB debut on Monday, just hours after the Red Sox called up the No. 1 prospect in baseball. The Red Sox lost to the Rays 10-8. Advertisement On Tuesday, Anthony got to work in his first at-bat. With runners on second and third in the bottom of the first inning, he faced an outside changeup from Rays starter Ryan Pepiot on a 1-2 count. Anthony swung and sent a line drive down the left-field line that rolled to the outfield wall. Two runs scored, and Anthony reached second for a go-ahead double on his first MLB hit. Not a bad way to start the career highlight reel. The runs off of Anthony's bat turned out to be all the Red Sox needed to secure the 3-1 win. Anthony finished 1-for-4 at the plate with two RBI and a strikeout. Can Anthony help Sox compete in AL East? A Red Sox team sitting near the bottom of the AL East standings (32-36 before Tuesday's game) and in need of an offensive injection called Anthony up from Triple-A Worcester following an injury to right fielder Wilyer Abreu. A 21-year-old outfielder, Anthony is filling in for Abreu in right and batting fifth in the Red Sox's lineup. Advertisement Just two nights prior to his call-up, Anthony showed off part of what makes him such a tantalizing prospect with a 497-foot grand slam for Worcester that was longer than any MLB home run this season. The Red Sox are certainly hoping he can build off Tuesday's breakthrough and provide a boost in the AL playoff race.
