Red Sox vs. Diamondbacks Game Highlights (5/26/23) | MLB Highlights

Diamondback starter for the opener it's Brandon Flaa. His fifth start looking for his first major league win. Yeah he's really moving in the right direction. Early in the season it looked like perhaps he was a little overmatched out there on the mound maybe thinking too much over analyzing and now lately last couple of games he's just gone out there and let it fly and he's looked really good and his Rymel Tapia to sixty five with a home run to get it started tonight shatters the bat. Marte cleans it up at second and the throw almost pulled Walker off the back. He's able to get a tow back on there and is Christian OK. Very dangerous that barrel goes right over the mound. Nice job by Christian Walker right there somehow. This does get his foot down on the bag ahead of Tapia. That was Tapia the former Rocky. Here is Alex Verdugo the one time Dodgers swing at him as he got him to chase upstairs and Verdugo a strikeout victim and he helped fought there. That pitch was way high and that's not number two. That's one of the crowd candy they're booing Turner from his days with the Dodgers. They don't forget he hurt the Diamondbacks in his day with the Dodgers. Bounding ball fair down the line by the bag and roll to the corner. There has some trouble with it in the second base Turner and in the scoring position socked it right down the line past third for his tenth double of the season. So Yoshida will try and pick him up. Masa hitting two ninety nine guys one in the center and over in the right center as Carroll he's under and he puts it away to retire the side where the Boston fans got really excited. That one went to medium center field Chris Sale the big lefty unbeaten in his last four starts. Yeah people that have seen Chris Sale throughout his career have said he's back to near the place he was when he was a young candidate almost every year. A swing at the first pitch pops that one in the right. He does come down to Verdugo. So still likes that. And here's Emmanuel Rivera the third baseman swing and a miss he'll put him away Rivera down Hacken for a strikeout tonight for Chris Sale. Well here's Gary Al has got the second most advanced on the Diamondbacks roster against silly. Thirty eight for Longoria. Pop this one up in the left center. And over to make that play and that is out of the three quick start for Chris Sale. Great at bat for refs netter to begin the second. Whenever you put him in he hits the bases. Casas could use one right here. Banning average of 181 is three for his last twenty three ripped on the right field line. And that's going to be extra bases. Rob Brown second he hits for third the Kareem off the wall and they're going to send ref Snyder from third ref Snyder scores. It's a double for Casas and the Red Sox have a one nothing lead took a funny bounce off the fence right there and better throw back to the infield to a cutoff man one of the cutoff man they may have had a shot of ref Snyder at home plate. So Connor Wong trying to pick up the second run of the inning to thirty one five home run swing and a shot this one drill deep to left and gets to the warning track and then bounces into the stands that will bring in a run and the Red Sox have their third double already and take a two nothing lead. Well that's four hits through the first nine batters in this ballgame against Fodd. Now you deal with the top of the order and Rymel Tapia swinging a ground ball on the right side into right field. That's a base hit. Here comes Wong. He's waved home. He will score easily. Tapia delivers and it's three nothing Red Sox. Here comes the Red Sox offense again. Fodd who has been introduced to the Red Sox offense that we were familiar with for about the first six weeks of the season. I mean you look at this lineup and it's not a lineup that's going to scare you. Devers isn't even in the lineup tonight. He's Kiki Hernandez. He'll drive this one to left center field. He laid into this and it is gone. Kiki Hernandez a two run shot. The Red Sox are on top five nothing. So he is in twelve home runs against Arizona in his career. The most he has is anybody that Paul is smushed. So the Dimebacks get their leadoff man on their third hit. Well here's Gary out and he's coming in with a 16 game hitting straight. Hurry I'll get down ball you know you want to get there is on the run. It gets all the way to the corner. Lourdes Gary L.J. gets the Dimebacks on the board make it a 17 game hitting streak and it's five to one runner in scoring position two outs in the inning but in his time with the Dodgers in a situation like this you could almost book it. That Justin Turner was going to try to hit the ball to the right side. He's an RBI machine. You were saying something about an RBI machine. The Red Menace is back in town. A nice throw by Perdomo for number two. He needed to make a strong throw that time wasn't hit that hard. Top hitting from the left side gets down the baseline pretty quickly. See that's where all those years of playing against top you with Colorado paid off. They knew how fast he could go. Here's Burdugo's was 0 4 2 to start the ball game running a streak to 0 4 16 for him but he's had two hits his last time up three to line drive base hit around the score is long. He is in easily that makes it seven to one on a big night for Dougie that's his third hit he is three four five. Yeah you got to love this right here fastball up in the zone drives it the other way he's hit two balls hard the other way and another one up the middle once he gets in pool pool mode sometimes he can get into trouble three innings three times he's trying to get through three here still nobody up in their bullpen he's faced nine hitters now his second time through for him Rivera's got to get tonight to score the Dynamax one he's one for three. That one bounces just by Hernandez they will wave Herrera and he will score another RBI for Emmanuel Rivera and that's three consecutive one out single. Now it's Gary over the plate now long ball here would really make it interesting. Well you're right in this part of the order to you could do some damage and you've got Gary L. now you've got Walker Longoria Carol. House is on the backhand shorthand. Nobody's at first and they'll have to settle for one. Well that was a pretty slick play by the big first baseman down there. Not quite as slick by the pitcher pitcher Winkowski. I mean he gets over there to first base is probably a double play but he stood on the mound and watch Cassius make that nice play in the hole and nobody was over there to cover first base. So two outs in the end and now the batter is Walker Walker a swing and a routine fly ball in the left field. Ref Snyder on approach and he's got it. So they only get the one still languish himself but not covering their last chance to keep it going for the Diamond Backs and that'll bring up Marino. He popped up and playable passes underneath and the Red Sox win a final score tonight in Arizona seven to two. The offense came alive to the tune of 14 hits. Yeah. First things first Chris sale put him in position to win. But yeah the story is the offense five guys with multiple hits six players with RBI. This is the offense that we saw for a month and a half and it's good to have it back.
