Boston Red Sox

We're just a few weeks into the flurry of activity in the early portion of the MLB offseason, and another marquee pitcher is on the move.

Emerson Hancock struck out a career-high seven batters and J.P. Crawford had four RBIs to help the Seattle Mariners to and 8-5 win over the Boston Red Sox

In a battle of wills, the Red Sox continued their winning streak, with Brayan Bello dazzling on the mound and Triston Casas providing crucial power at the plate.

Hill joined Tim Wakefield as the only pitchers to appear for the Red Sox at age 44 or older.

Joe Ryan (4-0) allowed three runs and six hits with three strikeouts and one walk in six innings for the win.

Umpires needed a few minutes to review Verdugo's drive, which bounced off the low wall in right field just short of Pesky's Pole, before officially declaring it a hit and the game over.

The only longer opening streak was 20-0 by the 1884 St. Louis Maroons of the Union Association.

Nick Gordon hit his first career grand slam and drove in a career-high six runs, Jake Cave and Gary Sánchez also homered, and the Twins beat the Red Sox 10-5.

The Twins outscored the Giants 20-5 in the series and have won three straight following a six-game losing streak that knocked them out of first place in the AL Central.

Minnesota Twins right-hander Sonny Gray has a low-grade strained hamstring.
