D-backs vs. Red Sox Game Highlights (8/23/24) | MLB Highlights

Red Sox and the very tough Arizona Diamondbacks managed by former Red Sox bench coach Tory Lallo. It's hard to believe it's his first time back here since 2016 when he was here as bench coach of the Red Sox. The Diamondbacks since June ninth are 33 to 13. That is the majors best record over that span. Corin Carroll bats at the top of the Diamondback lineup. He will lead it off against Brian May 11 to 54, 80 earned run average. Very good against Baltimore. Last time out, only two hits slams that one up the middle under a diving David Hamilton and one pitch in Corbin Carroll is aboard at Fenway Park, jake mccarthy Bats second and jake gets one by Rafaella at shortstop. Corbin Carroll stops at second two pitches and two base runners , two base hits against Bao. And here comes Jock Peterson. Here's the three and the first three are aboard a chance for a big first in Boston who is ahead 0 to 2 is suddenly looking at a full count and no place to put josh Bell. How about that? He was behind in the count zero and two back to back walks for Bale and the Diamondbacks have a first inning run and an ugly start here for Bale. So Carroll getting to score nobody out reloaded for Lourdes Gurriel Junior, Ariel Skies it out to right. Viera Bre is the best thrower they have out there. Here comes mccarthy, here's the throw and it kicks. Jake is home. Peterson stops at third and it's 2 to 0 Diamondbacks. You call it, Abreu has a big arm out there in right field and he was charging that ball hard, got rid of it. Quickly looked to be right on line, made it a little tough for Jansen to make the play as jake goes sliding across with the second run of the in a chance for Del Castillo. Still only one out. Here's the 3 to 2 A DC hits it right into the glove of David Hamilton at second and makes a tremendous play and save a run. And here is Suarez hard hit with a scoop up and going to second and got the first play. That sucks with a couple of really nice defensive efforts there to get the final couple of outs with a gem but 2 to 0. Arizona ryan over the last two months has been simply put among the best starting pitchers in the major leagues. His last two outings have been tremendous against that tough hitting Phillies team and the Tampa Bay Rays. He dominated both Durant leads the American League in doubles that one. So back to the wall, the green off to the races again, Jared Durant, he slides in, he's got himself a double. So that means he has led off the last four games with an extra base hit and the first three times he scored the first run re trying to pick him up. We said a few minutes ago, these have been the two best offenses in baseball really since the all star break shot toward the wall. That one lifted up back to the green again and to score. Durant Abreu dives into second, back to back doubles his 50th RB I he's trying to go up and away , misses inner third but Abreu doing a good job staying through that and an easy double in RB I Tristan Kasas his first game at Fenway since mid April and he'll so that one on the line that will be caught by Gurriel, the Red Sox coming out of the chutes and swinging the sticks here. One of the most dangerous hitters in the American League is Rafael Devers up the middle. Perdomo has got it behind the bag gets into third, hit hard up the middle, but it's out number two and now it will be Rob Refsnyder. He hits it right at Perdomo. Jerry's got it. Boston gets one back, we've played one and ryan Nelson gave up back to back doubles to start the ball game. But since Then he has retired eight consecutive red sox two and two on Will Yar Abreu up the middle and almost had it. It might have knuckled on him a bit. He's able to knock it down. It's a two on single for Abreu two for two. Now, Nelson worked to the big first baseman Tristan Casas, a couple of different lines. A little chopper to third. Suarez goes airborne but he sticks it in his back pocket. Casas will take it. He's got himself a base hit 1st and 2nd and two down and now the 30, I don't think he wanted any part of Devers there. They'd rather work to refsnyder even with the bases full and here comes spring strong. So suddenly a big spot is three consecutive for Boston reach with two outs, got it just challenged him and blown away and Ryan Nelson leads the bases full of Red Sox in Boston the end of the bottom of the fourth. We go Masataka Yoshida to lead it off against ryan Nelson right there. Come on now, there it is. Nick Lentz three strikeouts for Ryan Nelson. I think part of Ryan's success recently has been deception. He's got a very slow start to his wind up and Then that arm comes through that really fast and Jansen, the catcher was Nelson's first strikeout victim back in the second boy. He just goes right after these guys with that fastball in the cutter and that's three consecutive strikeouts for Ryan Nelson. Now the pitch grounded softly up the middle backhanded by your and a strong but accurate throw to first in time. Nabs Hamilton and for Nelson, it's a 123 bottom of the 4th, 21 Diamondbacks bottom of the fifth inning. There it is 97 on the black away and ryan Nelson has struck out for the last five red sox hitters. He faced two down in the fifth for a jammed him and that might drop in but Perdomo gets to the spot and that's seven straight set down by ryan Nelson and a one out walk to lourdes. We'll bring up Adrian del Castillo fourth walk. Now for Bao, in fact, the last two base runners have been walks. That's four starts in a row now that he has over three walks a on Bao got it and there's no play. He should have just eaten the ball and Gurriel to third should have held on to it instead, no momentum, no step towards the base just fling it. And now the D backs finally have another chance with runners in scoring position but a chance to get back in the scoring column here for Gino who is zero for two Geno slams it to left. It drops in for a hit. Gurriel had to hold up here. He comes RB I for Suarez in its 3 to 1 diamond. You really like to see Geno continue to heat up in this ballpark with that monster in left field. I can see Geno just playing handball against that wall and they are able to take advantage of that Red Sox here's trying to split the gap. He sends one toward the wall. Guillame and it's high off the wall. Del Castillo will score. They stop Gino and RBI double for Luis Guillorme. The it was Diamondback and it's 41. So the night is going to be over for Bao and a fairly short one. And Then the Joelle Rodriguez, the lefty just recalled from AAA WFOR tonight, Juarez at third Guillorme at second infield in for Boston and Perno hits it right through. Rafael Suarez is home and it's 5 to 1. They had the infield in and they got the ground ball they wanted, but Sedan Rafaelle couldn't handle it and it's a 51 Diamondback lead and they retired Corbin no chance for bring up jake mccarthy little floater Raffaello racing racing and makes the play and saved at least one run for out number three spectacular play. He has made a one of those the last week or so and yet the D backs will feel good about scoring three in the six, seven strikeouts for Nelly who has set down nine straight. He has struck out six of the last nine. Boston batters. Refsnyder is zero for two fly ball, well, struck deep right field. Carroll racing back back back and it is gone home run for Refsnyder as he goes up. Oh, Red Sox need a shot and they get one here from Rob Refsnyder who wasn't even going to be in the lineup tonight and he'll pick up his ninth home run of the year. Yeah, he's happy now. He's in the lineup. Races on Nelson has play to get the out. The Ref Snyder's Homer adds another run for the Red Sox. They have out, hit the Red Sox 10 to 5. Here we go, Geno with the bases full, a chance to blow this thing open right here. Suarez hits a fly ball left field and that was, has gone into the monster seats thorough grand slam. Well, as they like to see it here, he hit that thing wicked foul nine grand slams by the Diamondbacks this year that leads the major league, hit it high in the air to left field. That's a cutter that just didn't cut, stayed right there over the plate for Geno and he knows what to do with mistake pitches and it is certainly taking the sting out of this game that will add to the frustration for the Red Sox tonight two on nobody out here is PDO. That one is fair down the line and it's by Casas. Here we go. More. Diamondback runs Suarez coming home, they stop. Korma perdomo has his third consecutive hit and RB I do and it's 10 to 2 2nd and 3rd. Nobody out a big chance for Carroll, high fly ball, play ball for Refsnyder and left will tag as well play at third. That was a good throw. They had him and Geraldo Perdomo with a terrific swim move to make it into third base and avoid the tag. Now it's 11 2. There's the first out here's mccarthy who has two hits, they get the run across Perdomo scores arm behind for Jake and it's a 10 run diamondback lead. This is back to back games with double digit runs and there's one on in the bottom of the ninth and the catcher goes to second for one and the Diamondbacks have a win at Fenway Park and the opener, they beat the Red Sox 12 to 2.
