BOSTON — Marwin Gonzalez made sure his first extra-base hit as a member of the Red Sox was one that counted.

Max Kepler blooped a single to center to drive in Luis Arraez from second base in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Minnesota Twins snapped Boston’s nine-game winning streak with a 4-3 walk-off victory on Thursday afternoon in Minneapolis.

Alex Verdugo ended the game with a highlight-reel catch as the Boston Red Sox extended their winning streak to eight games with a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon in Minneapolis.

Alex Verdugo homered and also hit a two-run single to highlight a six-run fifth inning as the Boston Red Sox completed a sweep of a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins with a 7-1 on Wednesday afternoon in Minneapolis.

Rafael Devers and Hunter Renfroe each homered and Bobby Dalbec had a pair of RBI doubles as the American League East-leading Boston Red Sox extended their win streak to seven games with a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on a snowy Tuesday afternoon in Minneapolis.

J.D. Martinez hit three home runs, Rafael Devers added a pair and the visiting Boston Red Sox exacted revenge on the Baltimore Orioles, completing a three-game sweep of their American League East rival on Sunday afternoon with an overpowering 14-9 win.

We’re more than one week into the 2021 season. We’ve already seen some interesting results as the Sox (who played Saturday night) went from 0-3 to 4-3, and we have a few questions:

The Boston Red Sox scored five runs from the fifth inning on to beat the host Baltimore Orioles 7-3 and spoil opening day at Camden Yards on Thursday.

The sky was falling in Boston after the Red Sox suffered a season-opening sweep to the rebuilding Orioles, but in three days, they flipped the script.

J.D. Martinez hit a game-winning, two-run double with two outs in the bottom of the 12th inning as the Boston Red Sox beat the visiting Tampa Bay Rays 6-5 Tuesday night.

During a dismal 2020 season in which they posted their worst winning percentage in 55 years, the Red Sox were in many ways fortunate that fans weren’t allowed inside Fenway Park.

Maikel Franco drove in two runs, and teammates Anthony Santander and Trey Mancini each added an RBI as the visiting Baltimore Orioles defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-2 on Saturday afternoon.

There was excitement in the air at Fenway Park as fans returned to the ballpark for the first time since 2019, Alex Cora was welcomed back after a year away and the new-look Red Sox were introduced as they tried to put a miserable 2020 in the rearview mirror.

BOSTON — Alex Cora was content to wait one more day. The Red Sox manager seemed rather nonplussed by Thursday’s postponement of the season opener against the Orioles.

Good news, baseball fans: Opening Day is Thursday, fans are being welcomed back to all 30 stadiums and as soon as the players reach the 85% vaccination mark, restrictions will be relaxed for a season that’s something close to normal.

So much for the COVID-19 outbreak at Red Sox camp.

Matt Barnes has tested positive for COVID-19.

The Red Sox remain encouraged by Chris Sale’s recovery from Tommy John surgery, but there continues to be bumps in the road.

The billboard above Sal’s Pizza on Brookline Avenue in Boston wasn’t supposed to be about Alex Verdugo, but it kind of was.

Fresh off being named the Red Sox’ Opening Day starter, Eduardo Rodriguez hit a wall.

Matt Barnes continues to make a strong case to open the 2021 season as Boston’s closer.

Jonathan Papelbon, Kevin Youkilis, Mo Vaughn and Ellis Burks are rejoining the Red Sox, this time in broadcasting roles.
