Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:30:04 GMT

Alex Cora has said it so often these past few weeks that it’s felt like a recording. If you give the other team more than 27 outs, they’re going to make you pay.But after being the ones paying for defensive slip-ups in recent days, the Red Sox finally got a chance to punish their opponents, and Justin Turner was up for the task.After the New York Yankees twice failed to get out of the bottom of the third on what should have been routine infield grounders, Turner crushed his second home run of the night for a grand slam, blowing the game open in what wound up a 15-5 win for the Red Sox.“It was good offense all the way around,” Turner said. “We were using the whole field, our left-handed hitters just wore out the Monster all night for nine innings and found ways to get on base. (17) hits and 15 runs, that’s a pretty good offensive night.”Turner finished 3 for 5 with two home runs, a double and six RBI, which tied a career-high. His big hit in ...

Beal carried the ball for an 8-yard gain to the South 30, and the North called timeout with six seconds left.Lynch again made things happen with a completion to Beal that the running back ran out of bounds with less th...
