The Red Sox are in the midst of a playoff race and cannot afford to blow games to inferior foes like Baltimore. Thursday’s decision loomed especially large since Cowser fired a poor throw to the plate that likely would have allowed Eaton to score to tie the game.

The Red Sox concocted a plan before their series against the Orioles and stuck to it, manager Alex Cora said after a frustrating 4-3 loss at Fenway Park on Tuesday night.

Red Sox third base coach Kyle Hudson explained why he stopped a baserunner from potentially scoring the tying run in a loss to the Orioles.

The 21-year-old will likely play a key role in the storied Red Sox-Yankees rivalry for most of the next decade.

The Red Sox backup will start behind the plate Wednesday for Boston in the rubber game of its three-game series against Houston.

Nathaniel Lowe hit a dramatic game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth, but the Red Sox repeatedly came up short otherwise in a frustrating loss to the Orioles.

Despite winning two World Series titles across his nine seasons with the Houston Astros, Alex Bregman didn't pull any punches at the plate Monday night.

First baseman Nathaniel Lowe signed with the Boston Red Sox, the club announced Monday, after it finalized a deal for a prorated portion of the major league minimum, and the veteran appeared as a pinch hitter during a 6-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

Nate Eaton, a right-handed hitting infielder/outfielder on the Red Sox’ 40-man roster, is en route to Boston, according to multiple sources.
