Encarnacion-Strand hits his 1st career grand slam to power Reds' rally to beat Red Sox 8-4
BOSTON (AP) — Christian Encarnacion-Strand hit his first career grand slam during a five-run seventh inning and the Cincinnati Reds rallied to beat the Boston Red Sox 8-4 on Wednesday night. Elly De La Cruz, TJ Friedl and Santiago Espinal added RBIs for the Reds. Nick Martinez (6-8) pitched 6 2/3 innings, yielding four runs off nine hits to help Cincinnati avoid being swept in the three-game interleague series. Wilyer Abreu hit a two-run home run for the Red Sox. Romy Gonzalez drove in two runs, including an RBI double in the seventh to pull Boston within 5-4. Brennan Bernardino opened for Boston, pitching 1 1/3 innings before handing off to Jorge Alcala and then Chris Murphy. That trio held Cincinnati to three hits and no runs over 5 2/3 innings before Greg Weissert took over. Weissert (2-3) got the final out of the sixth. But things fell apart in the seventh when Stephenson led off with a single, followed by Rece Hinds reaching on a fielder's choice and Gavin Lux walking to load the bases for Encarnacion-Strand. Weissert was pulled after surrendering five runs off four hits. Earlier Wednesday, Abreu hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth to help Boston earn a 5-3 win in the completion of a game suspended by rain on Tuesday. Abreu jumped on Martinez's changeup in the sixth, driving it over the right-field wall and into the Reds' bullpen beyond the reach of Hinds. It came after Hinds had made a catch against the same wall in the fifth, robbing Jarren Duran of an extra-base hit. Key stat Encarnacion-Strand's grand slam was Cincinnati's sixth of the season. Up next LHP Andrew Abbott (7-1, 1.79 ERA) will start for Cincinnati when it opens its three-game series at Philadelphia on Friday. RHP Lucas Giolito (4-1, 3.99) is scheduled to start for Boston at Washington. ___

Aroldis Chapman isn't hurt, but Red Sox turn to closer-for-a-day who has dominated (0.66 ERA since May 17)
BOSTON — For the second time in 24 hours, the Red Sox turned to a pitcher other than Aroldis Chapman to seal a close game in the ninth. It doesn't mean Chapman is hurt, however. One day after Greg Weissert recorded the save in a 4-3 win over the Yankees, it was righty Garrett Whitlock who picked up his first save of the season in Sunday's 2-0 win. After getting a massive double play off the bat of Aaron Judge to end an eighth-inning threat, Whitlock needed just 12 pitches to get through a 1-2-3 ninth. Cody Bellinger grounded out before Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe both struck out to end the game. Advertisement Manager Alex Cora said Whitlock got the opportunity over Chapman because the left-handed fireballer was deemed unavailable for two days after pitching Friday. Chapman had pitched five times in seven days before getting the weekend off. 'We decided after Friday we were going to give him two days off because usage was way up there,' Cora said. 'He'll be back tomorrow.' Chapman pitched the final two games in New York over the weekend, saving both games, then went for a third straight day in the 10th inning of Monday's loss to the Rays. He didn't pitch Tuesday (Weissert got the save in that one) but closed out Wednesday's win, then threw 14 pitches Friday. At that point, the Red Sox decided to give him a breather. Luckily, both Weissert and Whitlock have been pitching well enough for Cora to trust them in big spots. Since blowing back-to-back saves on a mid-May road trip to Kansas City in Detroit, Whitlock has been lights-out, posting a 0.66 ERA (1 earned run in 13 ⅔ innings) in his last 11 games. In that span, he has allowed just eight hits and recorded 16 strikeouts. He has gone more than one inning five times. Advertisement 'He has been good for a while now, throwing a lot of strikes,' Cora said. 'The fastball has life, he's throwing strikes against righties which is the most important thing. And we trust him.' More Red Sox coverage Read the original article on MassLive.
