Smith-Shawver手肘受傷退場 勇士教頭：不太妙
勇士與費城人今天(30日)進行雙重賽，沒想到第1場比賽先發投手AJ Smith-Shawver投不滿3局就因為右手肘受傷提前退場，而總教練Brian Snitker則說Smith-Shawver的情況看起來不太妙。 AJ Smith-Shawver。圖片來源：達志影像 第3局當Smith-Shawver被費城人捕手Rafael Marchan敲出全壘打後，隨即被Bryson Stott擊出的強襲球打到右腳跟形成安打，而在面對Trea Turner時，Smith-Shawver有望休息區看了一下，儘管之後解決Turner但也被換下場。 Snitker賽後表示：「他當時對我說『在投Turner時我聽到斷裂的聲音』，我當時不知道他是否是指手肘，或者是阿基里斯腱還是腳跟讓他感到困擾。」 而在雙傷進行第2場比賽前，Smith-Shawver就已先離隊回到亞特蘭大接受進一步的檢查，此舉通常代表是出現重大傷勢。 Smith-Shawver的受傷退場讓勇士教練團浮現去年主力先發投手 Spencer Strider受傷當下的既視感，Strider之後動了手肘手術，直到今年才復出。 值得一提的是，Smith-Shawver第1局對Turner曾投出生涯第2快的99.6英哩速球，且今天速球均速來到97.1英哩寫下生涯單場新高；而連同今天比賽在內，他連續3場出賽的速球均速均刷新個人紀錄：5月16日為96.8英哩、5月23日為96.9英哩。 Snitker指出：「我不認為那傷勢與之前被強襲球打到有任何關係，我認為那是他的球速所帶來的結果，他之前投的非常好，所以這有點像是注定會發生的事情。」 現年22歲的Smith-Shawver雖然早在2023年就登上大聯盟，但過去2年投球局數不到30局，因此今年仍具備新人資格，而他開季前7場比賽繳出3勝2敗、自責分率2.33的驚人數據，大有挑戰國聯新人獎的氣勢，直到上周對國民才遭到砲擊，僅投3局就狂失7分。連同今天在內，本季9場出賽自責分率為3.86。 如果Smith-Shawver的傷勢得缺席不短的時間，那將是勇士遭遇的另一次重大挫折，難怪捕手 Sean Murphy會說：「感覺糟透了，他之前一直投的很好。」 - ✎緯來體育台官方網站 【 】 ✎緯來新聞網 【 】 ✎緯來體育台官方YouTube收看NBA LIVE直播 【 】 緯來體育台-2024-25NBA美國職籃大賽-賽程轉播表

Matt Olson and Sean Murphy lead Atlanta Braves' win against Boston Red Sox (Image Source: Getty) What a day it has been for the Atlanta Braves , who managed to beat the Boston Red Sox by 4-2 on Friday night. It cannot be denied that Matt Olson and Sean Murphy were the star players, who hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning that led the Braves to an early lead. How did the Braves manage to win against the Sox? Both players, Matt Olson and Sean Murphy had great games, going 2-for-4. While Braves' pitcher Chris Sale was strong, giving up only one run in seven innings and striking out eight. Sale used to play for the Red Sox but now has won two straight games against them.

The Red Sox have now lost four games in a row. Can Ronald Acuna Jr. return next weekend? Meanwhile, Atlanta Braves' Ronald Acuna Jr. is getting closer to returning to the team after a serious knee injury last year. On Friday night, he played in back-to-back games for the first time in almost a year, which is a big step in his recovery. Playing for the Braves' Triple-A team, Gwinnett, he went 0-for-2 but drew two walks, scored twice, and played six innings in right field. The Braves have not stated exactly when he'll return, but his recent progress is a good sign. Acuna is going through a fast version of Spring Training to get ready after tearing his ACL on May 26, 2024.

Chris Sale outduels Garrett Crochet, strikes out 8 Red Sox in 4-2 Braves win
By BRENDAN McGAIR Associated Press Chris Sale struck out eight and pitched seven innings of one-run ball Friday night, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 4-2 win over the Boston Red Sox. Sale (2-3), who won a World Series with Boston, earned his first win since April 25. The 36-year-old left-hander allowed five hits and an earned run with two walks. The reigning National League Cy Young winner lowered his ERA from 3.97 to 3.62. Also a Gold Glove winner for the first time in his career last season, Sale went down to his knees on a comebacker by Boston's Nick Sogard and got up and made the play for the first out of the fifth. Sale spent six seasons with the Red Sox (2017-23) and recorded the final out that clinched Boston's 2018 championship. He is 2-0 against the Red Sox since getting traded to Atlanta during the 2023-24 offseason. Matt Olson and Sean Murphy hit consecutive homers in the second inning for Atlanta and the Braves added two runs in the ninth when Red Sox reliever Brennan Bernardino issued back-to-back walks with the bases loaded. Raisel Iglesias allowed an RBI single to Boston's Trevor Story in the ninth inning and earned his eighth save. The Braves (23-22) became the fifth team to move above .500 after losing 7 or more consecutive games to open a season. The solo homers were the only runs allowed by Red Sox starter Garrett Crochet (4-3) in seven innings. He struck out eight and walked none. Jarren Duran had two hits and reached base safely three times – all against Sale – while Rob Refsnyder hit a solo homer in the seventh. Key moment In a span of three pitches in the second inning, the game went from scoreless to Atlanta going up for good. Olson went the opposite way for eighth home run of the season. Murphy sent an 0-1 pitch from Crochet into the Green Monster seats for his eighth homer. Key stat Crochet leads MLB with five starts of at least seven innings. Up next Atlanta RHP Grant Holmes (2-3, 4.14) faces Boston RHP Lucas Giolito in the middle game of the series Saturday.

Ex-Red Sox ace Chris Sale pitches Braves to 4-2 victory
May 17 - Matt Olson and Sean Murphy hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning, and Chris Sale's seven innings of one-run ball made them stand up as the visiting Atlanta Braves defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-2 on Friday night. The home runs were part of 2-for-4 nights for both Olson and Murphy in the opener of a three-game series. Sale (2-3) struck out eight and allowed just five hits and two walks en route to winning his second straight outing against the Red Sox since being traded away in 2023. Daysbel Hernandez and Raisel Iglesias closed out the game, though the latter allowed a Trevor Story RBI single before recording his eighth save. Jarren Duran (triple) and Nick Sogard were both 2-for-3, but Boston managed just six total hits and were unable to take advantage of a seven-inning start from Garrett Crochet (4-3). The Red Sox finished 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position. The Braves have won four of five, while the Red Sox are on a four-game skid. Crochet struck out the side on 11 pitches in a dominant first inning, but Atlanta struck for back-to-back solo homers to start the second. Olson and Murphy both went deep over the Green Monster to a near-identical spot in left-center field. Boston left runners on base in each of the first three innings, including a waste of Jarren Duran's one-out triple into the right field corner in the third. After Sale struck out Alex Bregman looking, Murphy caught Rafael Devers (walk) attempting to steal second base. Crochet settled into his outing after allowing the two homers, facing the minimum from the third through sixth innings. In the seventh, the Red Sox southpaw allowed three consecutive one-out singles to Olson, Murphy and Ozzie Albies, but struck out two to escape a bases-loaded jam. Devers was the first of three Boston men to be retired on the basepaths, as Duran was also caught stealing in the sixth and Sogard ended the seventh getting cut down trying to stretch a single into a double. The Red Sox did cut into their deficit to start the seventh, though, when Refsnyder lined a leadoff homer into the Green Monster seats in left. Walks doomed Boston in the top of the ninth, as the bullpen duo of Liam Hendriks and Brennan Bernardino combined to issue five. Two of them forced in key insurance runs to increase the visitors' lead to 4-1. --Field Level Media
