CF Montreal extend Revs' winless stretch to nine in 3-1 win
(Photo credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images) Prince Owusu scored his team-leading 11th goal and league-worst CF Montreal defeated the New England Revolution 3-1 to halt a four-match winless run on Friday night in Foxborough, Mass. Dante Sealy had what proved to be the match-winner later in the first half and Olger Escobar scored a third in second-half stoppage time for Montreal (4-15-6, 18 points), which earned a victory two days after the club published an open letter to fans apologizing for its extended struggles. The Canadian side began the day 18 points out of the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Tomas Chancalay scored his fourth goal for New England (6-11-7, 25 points), which lost its third straight and saw its own winless skid extended to nine. The Revolution have conceded 21 times in their last nine games, and 10 in their last three. Owusu pulled Montreal level with some ruthless striker play in the ninth minute, and only six minutes after Chancalay's opener. After receiving Dawid Bugaj's pass from the right with his back to goal, the brawny striker used his body to shield a defender, spun, then fired a low finish past Aljaz Ivacic from near the penalty spot. Sealy's go-ahead strike in the 36th came from a similar area but was simpler, with Caden Clark providing the final pass into the box and Sealy hammering a half-volley past Ivacic in stride. Chancalay and Carles Gil were at the root of New England's best chances to pull level. In the 53rd minute, Gil played Chancalay down the left, whose cross took a heavy deflection and forced Jonathan Sirois into a scrambling stop at his near post. In the 70th, Gil unleashed a powerful strike that had Sirois beaten but rattled the crossbar. Then in the 85th, Chancalay also got the ball past the Montreal keeper, only to see his effort cleared off the line by defender Joel Waterman. On the other end, Owusu nearly doubled his total for the night in the 90th minute when his low effort beat Ivacic but struck the right post. Then came Escobar's finish from close range, hammered emphatically into the roof of the net to seal the outcome.

Red Sox place RHP Liam Hendriks (hip) on 15-day IL
(Photo credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images) The Boston Red Sox placed right-handed reliever Liam Hendriks on the 15-day injured list on Friday, retroactive to Wednesday, with right hip inflammation. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox recalled right-handed reliever Nick Burdi from Triple-A Worcester. Hendriks, 36, is 0-2 in 14 appearances with a 6.59 ERA in 13 2/3 innings this season. He did not make his season debut until April 20 due to a compressed nerve in his right forearm. A three-time All-Star closer, Hendriks underwent treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in early 2023 and missed all of the 2024 season following Tommy John surgery. In 14 seasons with the Minnesota Twins (2011-13), Toronto Blue Jays (2014, 2015), Kansas City Royals (2014), Oakland Athletics (2016-20), Chicago White Sox (2021-23) and Red Sox, Hendriks is 33-36 with 116 saves and a 3.88 ERA in 663 2/3 innings over 490 games (44 starts). This will be the 32-year-old Burdi's second stint this season with the Red Sox, having allowed four hits and one walk in 2 1/3 innings in two previous appearances. At Triple-A Worcester, Burdi is 4-0 with four saves and an 0.48 ERA in 15 appearances. In parts of six seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates (2018-20), Chicago Cubs (2023), New York Yankees (2024) and Red Sox, Burdi is 3-2 with a 5.93 ERA in 33 games spanning 27 1/3 innings. --Field Level Media
