It's not so hard to believe him right now. Dunn hit a three-run homer in the first inning and the Chicago White Sox handed Jon Lester his first loss with a 6-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. ...

Sale took a perfect game into the seventh inning before finishing with a one-hitter, and Chicago beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 on Sunday night to avoid a three-game sweep. The left-hander retired the first 19 batters he faced before M...

First pitch. Two-out double to left field. End of bid for perfect game and no-hitter. But Izturis was the only Blue Jay to reach base as the Boston Red Sox broke a three-game losing streak w...

Middlebrooks hit three home runs, two off NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, and the Red Sox routed the Toronto Blue Jays 13-0. "He had about 2,000 feet of homers," Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester s...

Jon Lester and the Boston bullpen were aggressive against a barely recognizable New York Yankees' lineup. The Red Sox looked as if they were in a hurry to put a dreadful 2012 season behind them. They're off to an impressive start, giving new manager John Farrell an 8-2 win on...

They've barely had a winning season in the last two decades. They've often lost 100 games in a year.

He's pitched at least 200 innings in four of the past five seasons, impressive to general manager Ben Cherington but not so special to Dempster. "That's your responsibility as a starting pitcher in the big leagues," Dempster said Wednesday at a news conference after h...
