BOSTON RED SOX (53-66) vs. CLEVELAND INDIANS (55-63) Wednesday, August 19, 2015 7:10 p.m. ET Fenway Park, Boston, MA RHP Joe Kelly (5-6, 5.69) vs. RHP Corey Kluber (8-12, 3.34) Game #120 Home Game #61 TV: NESN Radio: WEEI 93.7 FM, WCEC 1490 AM (Spanish) DOMBROWSKI JOINS RED SOX: Last night, the Red Sox announced the hiring of Dave Dombrowski as President of Baseball Operations...Dombrowski assumed responsibility for all baseball operations matters effective immediately, and will report directly to Principal Owner John Henry and Chairman Tom Werner...Ben Cherington declined the opportunity to continue as GM, but has agreed to assist Dombrowski during the transition. COACHING STAFF UPDATE: Red Sox Manager John Farrell announced on Friday that he has been diagnosed with Stage 1 Lymphoma...While he is on medical leave, Bench Coach Torey Lovullo will serve as interim manager. In addition, beginning today Bullpen Coach Dana LeVangie will serve as interim bench coach, and Triple-A Pawtucket Pitching Coach Bob Kipper will serve as interim bullpen coach (No. 77). LAST NIGHT S WIN: The Red Sox won a 9-1 decision last night at Fenway Park...Boston evened the current 3-game series at 1-1 and now has a 3-2 mark on the homestand... The Sox led the entire game after taking a 1-0 lead in the opening frame...boston s 9 runs marked their most in a game this season in which no Red Sox homered. Eduardo Rodriguez allowed just 1 run in a career-high 8.0 IP, marking the 8th time in his 15 career starts he gave up 1 or no runs...just 1 of his 6 total hits allowed came within the fi rst 5 innings...cleveland s only run came on an solo HR in the 7th inning (Brantley). Travis Shaw led the offense with 4 hits (all singles)... Mookie Betts drove in 3 runs on a bases-clearing double in Boston s 4-run 2nd...Brock Holt drove in 2 runs on 3 hits, including his 6th triple of the season... He now has a career-high 5 straight games with an extra-base hit (4 2B, 2 3B), 1 shy of Boston s longest XBH streak this season (Sandoval - 6 G, 6/11-16). SHAW NOT RAW: Travis Shaw went 4-for-4 last night and is now batting.371 (23-for-62) with 2 2B, 5 HR, 10 RBI, and 4 BB in 22 career major league games...he has 7 multi-hit games in his 14 starts, and is batting.393 (22-for-56) as a starter, including 12-for-24 (.500) in his last 5 games. Last night marked Shaw s 2nd career 4-hit game (also 8/1 vs. TB...He is the fi rst Red Sox player in the last 100 years to record multiple 4-hit efforts within his fi rst 22 career major league games...he also became the fi rst Red Sox with as many as 5, 3+ hit efforts within his fi rst 22 ML games since Tom Oliver (6 in 1930). Shaw recorded his 5th career homer on Monday night s 2-for-4 effort...the only other left-handed Red Sox batters in the last 100 years with at least 5 HR within their fi rst 21 career games are Sam Horn (7 in 1987) and Fred Lynn (5 in 1974-75). TRIBE TALK: The Sox and Indians continue their 6-game season set tonight with the last of 3 in Boston...Their regular season schedules end with 3 more in Cleveland (10/2-4). The Red Sox dropped last year s series 2-5, with both wins coming in their 4-game set in Boston...It was just their 2nd losing season against the Indians since 2007 (also 2011, 4-6). Boston has taken 9 of its last 13 games against the Indians at Fenway Park since 5/11/12, outscoring the Tribe 77-49 in those contests. HOME GROWN: With Matt Barnes recalled on Monday, all 4 were of Boston s 1st-round selections from the 2011 June Draft after now on Boston s active ML roster: Barnes (19th overall), Blake Swihart (26th), Henry Owens (36th), and Jackie Bradley Jr. (40th). Including Mookie Betts (5th round) and Travis Shaw (9th), the club s current roster features 6 players selected by Boston in the 2011 Draft...Noe Ramirez (4th round) has also appeared for the Sox in 2015. BATS FLIPS: The Red Sox lead all ML teams with a.280 AVG in their last 81 games dating back to 5/19...Prior to that date, they had the 3rd-worst AVG in the AL at.230. The club is batting an ML-best.305 against lefthanded pitching since 5/23...Prior to that date, Boston hit an MLB-worst.197 vs. southpaws. JACKIE S EXTRA EFFORTS: Jackie Bradley Jr. has recorded 10 extra-base hits in his last 7 games (5 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR), 3 more than any other major leaguer since 8/9 (3 players with 7 XBH)...In that time, he also leads the majors in total bases (32), SLG (1.143), and OPS (1.705). Bradley s last 7 hits have all gone for extra bases...all 7 came in a 3-game series against the Mariners over the weekend...it marked the most XBH by any Red Sox player in a single series since Dwight Evans had 7 XBH from 8/12-14/88 vs. DET (4 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR). His 5 extra-base hits on Saturday set a single-game Red Sox record and tied the ML record for the 11th time, 1st since TEX s Josh Hamilton on 5/8/12 at BAL... At 25 years and 118 days old, he was the youngest major leaguer ever with 5 extra-base hits in a game. BATS ALIVE: With 56 runs scored in their last 5 games, Boston has moved up from 9th in the AL in runs scored (482 runs entering Friday) to 3rd in the AL entering today (538)... In August, the Red Sox lead MLB in AVG (.316), OBP (.373), SLG (.510), total bases (284), and runs (106). The club set season highs in both runs and hits on Friday night (15 R, 21 H) and Saturday (22 R, 26 H), the fi rst 2 games of a 3-game series against Seattle in which the club s combined for 66 runs, 98 hits, and 44 extra-base hits. Boston s 60 hits in the 3-game series against the Mariners marked the most for any team in a 3-game series since the 1950 Red Sox had 62 hits against the St. Louis Browns from 6/7-9 at Fenway. ROOKIES IN ROTATION: The Red Sox have had 5 different rookies start at least one game this season...among all ML teams, only the Reds (8) have had more rookie pitchers make at least 1 start...the 5 match Boston s 2008 & 2006 squads for the club s most in any season since the 1995 Red Sox (6)...Before that, the Sox hadn t had more than 5 rookie pitchers start since 1952 (7). 29 of Boston s 119 games have been started by a rookie pitcher (24%), the most such starts for a Red Sox team since 2007 (43 games started by rookie pitchers, including 32 by Daisuke Matsuzaka)...Before that, no Red Sox team had as many as 29 rookie starts since 1993 (37 such starts, including 18 by Aaron Sele and 14 by Paul Quantrill). The Sox have seen rookie pitchers start an AL-high 16 of their last 28 contests (beginning 7/20): Rodriguez (6), Wright (5), Owens (3), Barnes (1), Johnson (1). APPROACHING 50: David Ortiz enters tonight s game with 49 extra-base hits on the year (24 2B, 25 HR), 1 shy of his 13th straight season with at least 50 XBH (since 2002). This would be Ortiz s 12th straight season with at least 50 XBH as a Red Sox (since 2003), which would pass Jim Rice and Carl Yastrzemski for sole possession of 2nd on the club s all-time list to Ted Williams (15). PORCELLO UPDATE: Rick Porcello, on the 15-day DL since 8/2 (retro to 7/30) with a right triceps strain, is slated to pitch on rehab with Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday night against Lehigh Valley (PHI). JIMMY FUND RADIO-TELETHON: The 2-day 14th annual Red Sox WEEI-NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon continues at Fenway Park today in support of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute...Over the past 13 years, this event raised more than $37 million for cancer treatment and research.
