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.'

Aliyah Boston Makes WNBA History Without Caitlin Clark
Aliyah Boston Makes WNBA History Without Caitlin Clark originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Aliyah Boston and the Indiana Fever aimed to get back above .500 early in the 2025 WNBA season, doing so without All-WNBA guard Caitlin Clark. Advertisement On Tuesday, the Fever (4-4) traveled to Atlanta for the second time this year, facing Brittney Griner and the Atlanta Dream (5-3). Entering the game, Boston had recorded 245 assists over her three-year career with Indiana. With 9:09 remaining in the third quarter, the former South Carolina center found Kelsey Mitchell for a 17-foot pull-up jumper, marking her fifth assist of the night and the 250th of her career. In doing so, Boston has become the second-fastest center in WNBA history to reach 250+ assists per Polymarket Sports, achieving this feat in 89 career games. To put this into perspective, Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas, who averages 8.0 assists per game this year, didn't reach 250 assists until her 95th game. Clark holds the overall record for fastest to reach 250 assists, doing so in 31 games into her rookie season. Advertisement Boston made the WNBA All-Star team in each of her first two seasons with the Fever. Through their first eight games this year, she is averaging 15.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists. Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston (7)Brett Davis-Imagn Images While Boston has found some success over the past four games, she has yet to score more than 20 points without Clark. With her All-WNBA point guard in the lineup, Boston has reached 20 or more points in two of four games. Clark suffered a quad strain in a May 24 loss to the New York Liberty, leaving her out for the previous five games. However, she could return for the Fever's next matchup, facing the Liberty once again on Saturday.

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.
