Edward Cabrera leaves start with left leg injury

The Mariners had an open spot on the 40-man, so there’s no need for a move there. He’s out of options, so he’ll presumably be added to the active roster, most likely in Weston Wilson’s place. Kennedy will be a bit rusty. Before being DFA’d today, he spent four weeks on the Giants’ active roster. He went 0-for-7 during the first 10 days of that stint and then never got into another game after June 10. The 27-year-old journeyman hit .321/.424/.543 in 48 games for Triple-A Sacramento prior to his callup.

The Red Sox blew a masterful performance from Sonny Gray by giving up two runs in the ninth and then gave up two more on Wilyer Abreu’s second mistake in two innings in the 10th. However, the offense came through against Fernando Cruz in the bottom of the 10th. Anthony Siegler singled even after taking an automatic strike at the beginning of his at-bat, and pinch-hitter Masataka Yoshida followed with a double that gave him just his second RBI of the month. Tseng-Che Cheng then tied the game with a sac fly, and Duran followed with a liner to right with no one home, as the Yankees had gone to a two-man outfield. It was Duran’s second at-bat off the bench, as he didn’t start against lefty Carlos Rodón. He’s hitting just .156/.181/.244 with 33 strikeouts this month.

Gray was removed immediately after Amed Rosario’s single up the middle with one out in the eighth. Tyron Guerrero replaced him and got out of the inning from there. It’s the deepest Gray has ever carried a no-no, and his ninth and final strikeout of the night gave him 2,000 for his career. He’s tied with Andy Benes on the all-time list there, having passed Billy Pierce and Kevin Appier tonight. He’s seventh among active pitchers in strikeouts and fifth with 134 victories. He’ll face the Angels next weekend.

We thought Chapman might have this one off after 23 pitches on Thursday and 20 pitches on Saturday, but manager Chad Tracy trotted him back out to try to complete a four-game sweep. Chapman went on to give up a single and a walk before getting Ben Rice to fly to right. Unfortunately, Wilyer Abreu had eyes on throwing out the runner tagging up from second and made a horrible throw that allowed one run to score and put the tying run on third. Paul Goldschmidt then hit a little chopper to tie the game. Chapman looked fine, even while losing a couple of strikes because the Red Sox were out of challenges. He’ll definitely get Monday off now, so Garrett Whitlock might get a save chance.

The one hit, a little liner from Caleb Durbin that dropped in front of the center fielder, unfortunately followed a walk and an Oswaldo Cabrera error in the fourth. Rodón did walk four batters in all and threw 96 pitches in five innings, so even after a quick fifth, he didn’t come back out for the sixth. He still hasn’t thrown more than six innings in any of his nine starts this year, but he also hasn’t allowed more than three runs in any of them. He’ll take a 4-2 record and a 3.30 ERA into a home start against the Twins next weekend.

Durbin plated the game’s only two runs through eight innings with his single to center off Carlos Rodón in the fourth and then stole both second and third afterwards. He finishes the rather low-scoring four-game sweep of the Yankees having gone 6-for-15 with a homer and three RBI, and he’s up to nine steals in 12 attempts on the season.

There were only two hits from the Yankees tonight by the time he was pulled, so Jones’s bad game won’t be held overly much against him. However, he is just 2-for-16 with two walks and nine strikeouts over the last 10 days. The odds are increasing that he’ll be sent down when Trent Grisham and Ryan McMahon return this week.

Chisholm was right to be mad; his swing was borderline at best, and it definitely wasn’t one the home plate umpire should have called himself. Chisholm made it clear that Adam Hamari should have checked with the third base ump and was tossed during the argument. Anthony Volpe replaced him, with José Caballero moving from short to second.

Betts didn’t get his fourth straight game with a homer, but he did drive in a run for the fifth straight. He always seems to pick it up against the Padres, the only team besides the Dodgers that showed any interest in trading for him when the Red Sox decided to move on after the 2019 season. His surge ought to continue with games in Sacramento the next three days and then back-to-back home series against the Padres and Rockies afterwards.

With a 10.24 ERA in his previous three starts, Sheehan’s rotation spot might have been in jeopardy with a rough showing today. However, he did well in allowing just two hits and two walks. He moved to 4-5 with a 5.08 ERA ahead of another start against the Padres next weekend.
