NEW YORK – If there's anyone who knows how to command a room, it's Nene Leakes.
The "Real Housewives" OG brought a little Atlanta to New York Fashion Week, attending Sergio Hudson's spring/summer 2027 show on Sunday, Sept. 13. Hudson brought the glamour to NYFW, hosting his show at one of New York's most iconic venues — the Rainbow Room.
Guests including Mickey Guyton, Muni Long and Sunny Hostin ventured to top of Rockefeller Center for Hudson, but it was Leakes who stole the show. The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star entered the glittering ballroom moments before the first model took to the runway, but that didn't stop a swarm of photographers and fans from trying to get a snap of the Bravo star. Leakes took her seat next to "Beauty in Black" actress Crystle Stewart as the two posed for front-row photos.
Leakes showed off a classic Hudson creation, donning a bodycon little black dress from the designer's fall-winter '24 collection. The sleeveless LBD featured an extra-long gold zipper extending from the neckline to the hem. The reality star styled the look with black patent pumps and a gold-embellished clutch.
"Me and Nene go way back … When I met her, I was a little ****** ody, and she always treated me really well, so I take care of her, 'cause she always took care of me," Hudson told USA TODAY backstage after his show. "She's a superstar."

With 2.5 weeks remaining in the regular season, those in the fantasy baseball playoffs should be focused on adding players with favorable schedules in the coming days. The list this week includes hitters to stream this weekend (Henry Bolte, Jeff McNeil, Colt Keith) as well as those who should be added by Monday (Ty France, Mickey Moniak, Cole Carrigg).
The same can be said on the pitching side, as those who need a weekend streamer can skip to the bottom of this article.
Ty France, 1B, Padres, 31%: France has been one of baseball's best hitters in the second half, batting .324 with a .937 OPS. Unfortunately, he remains on waivers in many leagues, as managers opt to chase an influx of exciting rookies rather than adding a boring veteran. But that should change over the weekend, as France and his teammates will open next week with four games at Coors Field against a Rockies pitching staff that ranks last in baseball with a 5.50 ERA. Managers in deeper formats could also consider Jake Cronenworth (6%), who has hit second in the lineup of late, or catcher Luis Campusano (1%), who is working as a DH often enough to keep him in the regular lineup.
Mickey Moniak, OF, Rockies, 26%: Moniak has some similarities to France, as a boring veteran who is having his productive season overshadowed by a constant stream of youngsters on the waiver wire. The 28-year-old has been terrific at home (.957 OPS) and against right-handers (.835 OPS) this season, which makes him a potential league-winner next week when the Rockies play seven games at their hitter-friendly home park, including five versus right-handed starters. Those who cannot add Moniak can consider his teammate, Cole Carrigg (15%).
Henry Bolte, OF, Athletics, 30%: Bolte is the fastest runner in baseball and has a bit of pop, which has made him the Athletics regular leadoff hitter and one of baseball's most explosive players. He is batting .320 since the beginning of August, and during September he has already accumulated four homers and five steals. Like many Athletics hitters, Bolte has fared best at his offense-inducing home park, which is where he will play this weekend. It helps that the series will come against the Mariners, who surprising rank 28th in baseball with a 5.39 ERA since the All-Star break.

Red Sox Make Notable Lineup Change For Friday Game Vs. Orioles originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox will have Trevor Story back in the starting lineup Friday night as they attempt to secure another important road victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Boston revealed its lineup for the second game of the four-game series at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Story will start at shortstop and bat eighth after sitting out Thursday's 6-5 victory.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa started at shortstop in the series opener but will move to the bench Friday. Story's return represents the only change to the batting order submitted by Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy. Ceddanne Rafaela remains out because of tightness in his right quadriceps. Rafaela is considered day-to-day, but his absence will extend to a second consecutive game. Eli White will start in center field and bat ninth.
Roman Anthony will lead off as Boston's designated hitter, followed by Mickey Gasper at first base. Adley Rutschman will catch and bat third one night after delivering his biggest performance since joining the Red Sox. Rutschman homered twice Thursday in his first game back at Camden Yards following the blockbuster trade that sent him from Baltimore to Boston on Aug. 3. His two solo shots helped the Red Sox capture the series opener and improve to 76-65.

Mantua, Cuba, is a small fishing village on the northwestern coast of the island; legend says it was founded by shipwrecked Italian sailors in the early 1600s. Los Arroyos, the neighborhood where Randy Arozarena grew up, is a tiny tip of the island, about as close to Cancún as it is to the capital Havana, where Lazaro Montes was born. Maybe their respective hometowns account for their personality differences: Randy is quieter, more removed, shying away from media appearances, while Laz is as big and boisterous as the bustling capital city itself, eager to try out his English with whoever wants to talk. Making his big-league debut tonight, "Big Laz" had an appropriately splashy welcome to the big leagues that will guarantee his megawatt smile will light up highlight reels tonight both in Seattle and beyond, accounting for two of the Mariners' nine runs tonight. But Randy Arozarena also continued doing what he's done all season, leading the team offensively and providing an early separating blow that helped the Mariners outlast the Red Sox in a grueling 9-6 win at Fenway.
The Mariners got on the board right away when Dominic Canzone absolutely obliterated this hanging changeup from Red Sox starter Jedixson Paez:
Your browser does not support the video tag. Download the video.
Unfortunately, the Red Sox took that run right back with a blast of their own, a four-seamer from Bryan Woo that didn't quite get top rail enough that Mickey Gasper hammered for a matching blow.
But the Mariners offense picked up their starter in the top of the second, pouncing on Paez for five runs of both the small and large ball variety. Josh Naylor got things going with a leadoff double, followed by a line-drive single from Cole Young – not super hard hit, but any contact in the air is good from young Cole, who's been really struggling lately with pounding the ball into the ground. That brought up Lazaro Montes for his very first big-league at-bat in an RBI situation. Facing a flagging pitcher on a bullpen day, Montes took a studied, disciplined at-bat, getting ahead 2-0, whiffing at a changeup on the plate, and then declining to chase two more changeups to earn his way on base. J.P. Crawford put the Mariners ahead on a sacrifice fly, and then Brock Rodden checked in with an infield hit of his own, hustling down the line to allow Cole Young to score. That also turned the lineup over for Randy Arozarena, who continued his audition to Get Real Paid by the Red Sox next season by crushing a sinker middle-middle that would have wound up on Lansdowne Street if not for an inconveniently located billboard.

Red Sox Rally Comes Too Late After Rookie Starter's Nightmare Outing originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox nearly found another miracle against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. This time, the hole was simply too deep. Boston scored four runs in the ninth inning and brought the tying run to the plate, but its comeback attempt ended with a 9-6 loss at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox collected 11 hits and received home runs from Mickey Gasper and Jahmai Jones. However, rookie starter Jedixson Paez allowed eight runs over 3 2/3 innings, leaving Boston to spend nearly the entire night chasing Seattle.
The loss dropped the Red Sox to 75-64 and evened the three-game series at one victory apiece.
Dominic Canzone opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first inning. Gasper immediately answered with a 404-foot solo shot in the bottom half, continuing his impressive production since returning from Triple-A Worcester.

BOSTON (AP) — Trevor Story drove in the winning run with a bases-loaded single in the 10th inning after Seattle walked the two batters before him intentionally, lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 9-8 comeback victory over the Mariners on Monday night.
Jarren Duran hit a two-run homer and Mickey Gasper a solo shot for the Red Sox, who were coming off a rough weekend when they dropped three of four to the Yankees.
Randy Arozarena had four hits, including a homer over the Green Monster, drove in four runs and scored three times for the Mariners, who have lost five straight. Cal Raleigh also got his 20th homer of the season.
Aroldis Chapman (3-4) worked a scoreless 10th.
Nick Sogard sacrificed, then the Mariners walked the next two batters, before Story lined a 3-2 pitch from Cooper Criswell (2-2) into the left-center gap.

Tonight's game at Fenway Park was capital-B Baseball. Yesterday the Red Sox lost 16-1 to the Yankees in ways that were humiliating in line wit what losing to the Yankees naturally implies, especially around Labor Day. Just over a day later, they won as good a regular season game as you'll ever seen. It was a 9-8 extra innings walk-off after several comebacks against the Mariners generally but specifically Randy Arozarena, who had a Randy Arozarena Game, and overtook all of Boston's leads but the last one. The last one came on a Trevor Story single in the bottom of the 10th to end it. Before that, they played the hits: Mickey Gasper went deep again, because of course. Jarren Duran did too, because why not? Payton Tolle hugged a dude!
And yet all these feats were repeatedly and rudely refuted by the M's, not just Randy but Cal Raleigh, whose sleeves are too short and seemed to have put it out of reach at 8-5 in the 7th:
But no. The Sox would and could not be denied. Story didn't just have the hit to end it, he had the critical slap in the 8th to bring it within a run. After Aroldis did his thing in the top of the ninth (scare the ******* out of us while being objectively impressive but [redacted]) Roman Anthony came out and hit a leadoff triple and scored on a sac to left to tie it. Once the Sox dispatched the top of the 10th and came back up, they moved the fake runner to 3d and the M's walked 'em loaded and went to a 3-1 count before this happened:
"Nine-eight in 10." That's great stuff, Obie. I can't lie.

Jackson Chourio reached another milestone for the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, launching his 20th home run of the season and putting himself in some elite company in the process. The young outfielder wasted no time making an impact, going deep in the opening inning as Milwaukee jumped out to an early lead.
According to ESPN, Chourio's latest homer placed him among a select group of players to accomplish the feat at his age.
Chourio has already etched his name into MLB history before even turning 23. The Milwaukee Brewers outfielder became just the 17th player ever to put together three seasons with at least 20 home runs before reaching that age, joining legendary names such as Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Frank Robinson and Eddie Mathews. Chourio also matched Ryan Braun as the only two players in Brewers history to accomplish the feat.

The 22-year-old has already put together a remarkable start to his young career, and another 20 home run season appears well within reach. He went deep 21 times in each of his first two full seasons and has already reached 20 this year despite missing time after suffering a broken bone during the World Baseball Classic.

Sometime soon — maybe Friday, maybe Monday, certainly by the middle of next week — the Red Sox stand to welcome back three players who have spent a good chunk of the season on the Injured List: Trevor Story, Roman Anthony and Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
Their return will help bolster the Red Sox and improve the team in the final month of the season. But their arrival will come at a cost since it will mean a reduction in playing time — and perhaps even cost one a roster spot.
Before any of that happens, it's worth examining how it was that Nick Sogard, Anthony Seigler and Mickey Gasper came to impact this year's club.
Heading into the 2026 season, the three had combined to account for zero WAR in their major league careers. These were not established players by any stretch; they were considered "up-and-down" guys, players who split time between the upper minors and the majors.
But the injuries that struck Story, Kiner-Falefa and Masataka Yoshida created playing opportunities. As the Red Sox pulled off one of the great in-season comebacks that began in late June, Sogard has been the starting second baseman and both Gasper and Seigler have contributed in big ways off the bench or occasionally, as part of the starting lineup.

As the Most Magical Place on Earth, Walt Disney World continues to bring in Disney lovers from all around the globe. This includes plenty of celebrities. Even Sydney Sweeney has rocked the Mickey ears. You never know who you might run into at Disney, and sometimes you might even stumble upon stars from Full House. Jodie Sweetin recalled how she and John Stamos once got people's attention by hollering "have mercy," and it's everything.
Sweetin recently appeared on Josh Peck and Ben Soffer's Good Guys Podcast, where she reflected on her life and career, including (of course) Full House. She recalled attending Nostalgia Con in Orlando one year with a chunk of her former co-stars, and the trip wasn't complete without Disney World. The Saturday night of the convention, she, Stamos, and a few other cast mates went to the Magic Kingdom with some security and guides in tow. Since it was at night, they were much harder to recognize. However, Stamos had a perfect solution to the problem:
It was funny because we were walking around and it was nighttime. At night, people aren't quite paying attention. But the guides give you away. They see two guides walking, and they're like, 'Who's…? Oh my God.' John would get recognized, but it had kind of a lull in it where he was like, 'We gotta get recognized more. We gotta warn all the security…' So we'd be jokingly walking, and he'd be like, 'Have mercy!' And I'd be like, 'How rude!' It was ridiculous.

Jarren Duran has struggled offensively this season and is far from the player he was in 2024 when he was an All-Star.
Duran led the league in doubles and triples in 2024. His numbers declined in 2025, but he still had a .774 OPS and had 70 extra-base hits. This year, he is hitting .209 with a .632 OPS, but this month has been much better.
He has played in 21 games this month, starting all but one of those games. He had a day off on Aug. 17, but is slashing .267/.321/.507 with nine extra-base hits. He has a .828 OPS, six RBIs, five walks and four homers. His batting average last month was .210.
With Roman Anthony returning soon, Duran is at risk of losing playing time. However, Masataka Yoshida's injury opens the designated hitter spot up for Duran to get at-bats. Mickey Gasper has filled in nicely, but as players return, Gasper is a candidate to lose his spot. If the Red Sox think Duran can continue to do what he's done in August, they could go back to using the designated hitter spot to get all four of Anthony, Duran, Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela in the lineup.

The Boston Red Sox (72-59) and the Miami Marlins (67-65) continue their respective postseason pushes tonight when they take the field at loanDepot Park in Miami. The Red Sox won the series opener last night, 4-2, to stay within six games of first place Tampa Bay in the AL East and further strengthen their hold on the second Wild Card spot in the American League. Miami is third in the NL East at 67-65 but they remain 9.5 games behind the Braves in the division race and four back of the final Wild Card spot in the National League.
Last night's game remained tight throughout primarily because Boston managed just a single hit in 14 at bats with runners in scoring position. Miami struck first in the second inning when Otto Lopez drove home Jakob Marsee with a sacrifice fly, giving the Marlins a 1-0 lead. Boston answered in the fifth when Jarren Duran doubled and later scored on Mickey Gasper's RBI double to tie the game. The Marlins regained the lead in the seventh on Xavier Edwards' RBI single, but once again, Boston answered. Wilyer Abreu doubled in the eighth and eventually scored on a wild pitch, knotting the game at 2-2. The game was decided in the ninth. Anthony Seigler, who entered the game with only 12 RBIs on the season, delivered the biggest hit of the night, lining a go-ahead RBI triple to right field. Nick Sogard followed with an RBI single to provide an insurance run and give Boston a 4-2 advantage. Aroldis Chapman closed the door for his 30th save of the campaign. The Sox have now won four in a row.
Rookie Payton Tolle (8-6, 3.08 ERA) gets the ball today for the Sox. The southpaw takes the mound after six days of rest. In four August starts, Tolle has allowed six earned runs (25 innings pitched). Boston lost against the Diamondbacks in his last start (5 IP, 3ER) after wining in his seven previous starts. Tyler Phillips (3-6, 3.67 ERA) will be on the ******* p for Miami. The righthander gave up one run in two innings in Philadelphia last Tuesday after giving up four in 5.1 innings in his previous outing. The Marlins have lost his last three starts.
Lets dive further into today's game and find a sweat or two.
We've got all the info and ******* ysis you need to know ahead of the game, including the latest info on the how to catch first pitch, odds, recent team performance, player stats, and of course, our predictions, picks & best bets for the game from our modeling tools and staff of experts.

MIAMI — Instant reactions from the Red Sox' 4-2 win over the Miami Marlins at LoanDepot Park:
1. The Red Sox struggled to score, going 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position and leaving 10 men on base.
But they still posted their 33rd come-from-behind win. With the game tied 2-2 in the ninth, Mickey Gasper drew a leadoff walk against Marlins reliever Pete Fairbanks, who then left the game with an injury. Tyler Zuber replaced Fairbanks and allowed a go-ahead RBI triple to Anthony Seigler.
2. Seigler had not started a game in eight days, but he got the job done. Last month, Patrick Sandoval called Seigler — who plays with a ton of energy — the Red Sox' "spark plug."
3. The Sox improved to 72-59 overall and 38-27 on the road. It was an impressive win, overcoming a 2-1 deficit in the eighth against the Marlins, who are a strong home team with a 41-26 record here. Miami went 2 for 18 with runners in scoring position and left 14 men on base.

Berkowitz has been living in a care facility away from his home in recent months, and the film documents his family's efforts to cope with his condition.
Mickey Berkowitz, widely regarded as Israel's greatest basketball player and one of the country's greatest athletes, is suffering from severe dementia, it was officially revealed Monday evening during the Channel 12 documentary Mickey Berkowitz's Last Shot. His condition is considered complex.
In the documentary by Niv Raskin, the Berkowitz family agreed to reveal the secret they had kept for more than two years, shortly before Berkowitz received the Israel Prize for Outstanding Sports Achievement, regarding the illness affecting one of Israel's biggest sporting icons.
Berkowitz has been living in a care facility away from his home in recent months, and the film documents his family's efforts to cope with his condition.
Berkowitz, whose parents immigrated from Romania, joined Maccabi Tel Aviv's youth team at the age of 11, where he was discovered by legendary coach Yehoshua Rozin, who has since died.

MIAMI (AP) — Anthony Seigler hit a go-ahead triple in the ninth inning, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Monday night.
Mickey Gasper had two hits and walked twice for the Red Sox, who won their fourth straight. Boston has won 19 of 20 against teams with records of .500 or better.
Miami closer Pete Fairbanks (4-5) started the ninth but left with an injury after issuing a leadoff walk to Gasper. Fairbanks stepped off the mound and touched his throwing arm as he talked with catcher Brian Navarreto and manager Clayton McCullough.
Tyler Zuber relieved Fairbanks and allowed Seigler's line drive toward the right field foul area that scored pinch-runner Eli White from first and snapped a 2-all tie. Nick Sogard followed with an RBI single.
Erik Miller (3-0) pitched a scoreless eighth around two singles and a walk. Aroldis Chapman closed it out for his 30th save.

Her recent TikToks interacting with the character in the park went viral, resulting in memes and speculation about her relationship with the character performer.
The discussion spread so far online that it even resulted in one of the Peter Pan character performers addressing the controversy, and it's called into question a debate about when character interactions might cross boundaries. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including a new menu at a sit-down restaurant for passholders and the expansion of an airport perk.

Jayne Mansfield's famous "Pink Palace" home in Los Angeles brimmed with rose-colored ***** carpet, cherubs, and hearts.
The actress purchased the mansion for $76,000 and lived there for 10 years before she died in 1967 at 34.
While the Pink Palace has since been demolished, Mansfield's daughter Mariska Hargitay has several heirlooms from the home.
Before Greta Gerwig's Barbie had the world obsessing over all things pink, Jayne Mansfield owned a dream house drenched in the color.
The actress and her soon-to-be husband, Mickey Hargitay, moved into the Sunset Boulevard mansion in late 1957. Per The Hollywood Reporter, it cost Mansfield just $76,000—a steal for its size. She quickly got to work making the place her own, rolling out pink ***** carpet in all the rooms, painting the stucco exterior a sparkling bubblegum shade, and installing a heart-shaped pink marble tub in the primary bathroom.

Red Sox Lineup Features Surprising Twist For Rafael Devers' Fenway Return originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Rafael Devers' return to Fenway Park will command nearly all the attention Friday night, but the most interesting part of the Boston Red Sox lineup might be found in the final spot.
Mickey Gasper will bat ninth as Boston opens a three-game series against Devers and the San Francisco Giants. That ordinarily would not qualify as a major development, except Gasper enters Players' Weekend as the hottest hitter in the Red Sox lineup.
The 30-year-old has homered and driven in multiple runs in three consecutive games. He will serve as the designated hitter against Giants ace Logan Webb, giving Boston an unusually dangerous bat at the bottom of the order.
The Red Sox revealed their Players' Weekend lineup shortly before Friday's 7:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Fenway.

It was a family affair for Matt Damon and his wife Luciana on Thursday as they treated their brood to a trip to Disneyland to celebrate their daughter Gia's 18th birthday.
The Odyssey star, 55, posed with his family in front of the Mickey Mouse pumpkin on Main Street ahead of the theme park's Halloween Time opening day, and they were all kitted out in honor of Gia's milestone day.
Matt, Luciana, and their daughters Alexia, 27, Isabella, 20, and Stella, 15, wore matching T-shirts that read "birthday crew."
Gia, meanwhile, stood out wearing a custom shirt featuring an outline of the park's Sleeping Beauty Castle, Mickey Mouse ears, and "birthday girl" emblazoned on the front.
However, the photo left many people on social media stunned by how empty the park looked, with some questioning whether Matt and his family had Disneyland all to themselves.

Matt Damon turned on his Disney dad mode for his daughter's 18th birthday, marking the milestone with a family outing to Disneyland. "The Odyssey" star shares four daughters with his wife, Luciana. A photo of the family at the amusement park is now circulating on social media, garnering love and best wishes from fans.
Matt Damon celebrated his daughter Gia's 18th birthday with his family at Disneyland. They posed for photos together in front of a Mickey Mouse pumpkin in Disneyland on August 20. They visited the park ahead of its Halloween Time opening on August 21.
Gia wore a black tee featuring an outline of the park's Sleeping Beauty Castle flanked by Mickey Mouse ears. The shirt read, "birthday girl." Meanwhile, her sisters, Alexia, 27, Isabella, 20, and Stella, 15, and their parents, Matt Damon and Luciana, wore matching black tees that read, "birthday crew." One snap also captured the "Good Will Hunting" star posing solo. He paired his tee with white trousers and white shoes. A baseball cap and brown-tinted shades completed his look.
In a July cover story for PEOPLE, Damon said his daughter Gia's reaction to "The Odyssey" made the tough shoot worth it. He recalled, "She saw 'The Odyssey,' and at the end of it, she actually turned to me, and she said, 'Dad, I'm proud of you.' She's never said anything like that because we joke around a lot, and so at that point, I was like, 'I'm good. It was all worth it.'"
At the London premiere of the epic film, he said it was "great" to share the moment with his daughters. "It's great because they had to sacrifice a lot too for this," he said. "I went away for a while; they came and visited, but it was a lot. It was a very long movie, very grueling shoot, and I'm really excited for my girls to see it tonight."

Matt Damon traded movie premieres for mouse ears as his family gathered at Disneyland to celebrate daughter Gia reaching a major milestone.
The 55-year-old actor visited the Anaheim theme park on Aug. 20 with wife Luciana and all four of their daughters: Alexia, 27, Isabella, 20, Gia, 18, and Stella, 15. The outing marked Gia's 18th birthday and brought the famously private family together for a rare group appearance away from a Hollywood red carpet.
They made the occasion easy to spot. Gia wore a custom Disney-themed shirt identifying her as the "birthday girl," while Damon and the rest of the family coordinated in matching "birthday crew" shirts, according to PEOPLE's report from Disneyland.
Disneyland was already preparing for its fall festivities, allowing the family to pose in front of the giant Mickey Mouse pumpkin on Main Street, U.S.A., one day before Halloween Time officially began.
Damon and Luciana were joined by Alexia, Isabella, Gia and Stella for the park day. Just Jared reported that Alexia's boyfriend was also part of the group. Gia's shirt featured Sleeping Beauty Castle with Mickey Mouse ears and "birthday girl" lettering, while the others wore coordinating "birthday crew" designs.

PHILADELPHIA, PA - JUNE 29: Mickey Moniak #16 of the Philadelphia Phillies looks on after striking out to end the bottom of the seventh inning against the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park on June 29, 2022 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Braves defeated the Phillies 4-1. (Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images)
The Philadelphia Phillies have built one of baseball's most expensive rosters, but their recent success has also highlighted a longstanding question: Where are the impact position players developed from within the organization?
That question has become increasingly difficult to ignore as former Phillies prospects have found success elsewhere. And few examples are more striking than Mickey Moniak, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, who was once viewed as one of the biggest disappointments in all of Philadelphia sports.
But now, as Moniak enjoys a stunning resurgence with the Colorado Rockies, the former Phillies outfielder has offered some insight into why things never clicked during his time in Philadelphia.

I've talked before about the idea of a "stopper" as a pitcher in a starting rotation who can halt a losing streak by at least giving their team a chance to win. In my mind, it's a separate idea from a starting pitching ace who might be expected to have a wholly different level of pitching production. If there was ever a team in desperate need of a "stopper" performance, it would be the Diamondbacks at this point in the season. Even after a series win in Atlanta over the weekend, they have come into Boston and gotten knocked around on both sides of the ball by allowing a combined 20 runs in the first two games and scoring just five in response. We've seen over the past two years how important each win can be – especially in a National League Wild Card that is incredibly tight and also has seen the D-Backs drop back in – so avoiding a sweep was absolutely necessary. And that's to say nothing of the cloud of uncertainty hanging over Ketel Marte's status for the remainder of the season. This afternoon certainly wasn't pretty, but the team did manage to accomplish the mission.
While Brandon Pfaadt may not necessarily pop off the page as a "stopper," he has been one of the reasons for the team's surge over the past month or so. He's pitched to an absurd 1.22 ERA (2.56 FIP) over his last seven starts going back to July 10th – which coincides nearly exactly with the last time the team was .500 or worse. One of the keys to that success: Pfaadt hadn't allowed a home run since his first start back from Reno, a stretch of 49.1 IP. So naturally, he allowed three home runs on the day – a pair of solo shots and a three-run shot that ended his start. The first of those solo shots from Nick Sogard in fact came on the very first pitch of the game – a 93 MPH center-center fastball that Sogard launched for his very first career homer. He nearly repeated the feat when Jarren Duran launched the first pitch he saw of the third inning into the stands, but this one was an elevated fastball instead of center cut. And finally, Pfaadt was victimized by the seemingly unstoppable Mickey Gaspar who homered for the third straight game, although this roundtripper was a three-run instead of a solo shot that tied the game and ended Pfaadt's night.
Even as Pfaadt was being pecked to death by solo home runs, the Arizona offense looked pretty ineffectual the first time through the lineup with three hits and a walk. Their best scoring opportunity in the third was snuffed out when Jose Fernandez elected to try and score on a slow bouncer to third base and was easily tagged out. Thankfully, they rebounded to rally in the fifth and sixth innings to take the lead. In the former, they had consecutive doubles from Fernandez and Ryan Waldschmidt as well as a huge two-run double from Gabriel Moreno that bounced off the Green Monster and plated both Waldschmidt and Corbin Carroll. Then in the sixth, Torey Lovullo decided to pinch hit Lars Nootbaar for Jordan Lawlar (who is clearly still gett

Red Sox Offense Sends Loud Message With Another Fenway Outburst originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox offense suddenly looks dangerous again. One night after pounding out 16 hits in an 11-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston followed with 13 more hits in a 9-4 win Tuesday night at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox have scored 20 runs on 29 hits through the first two games of the series. Eight different Boston hitters recorded at least one hit Tuesday, while Adley Rutschman and Mickey Gasper supplied the power.
For a lineup that recently endured another frustrating disappearance, the two-game eruption could not have come at a better time. Boston has won three of its last four games, improving to 68-58 and remaining firmly involved in the American League playoff race.
Boston immediately applied pressure against Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly. Ceddanne Rafaela and Nick Sogard opened the bottom of the first inning with consecutive singles before Wilyer Abreu drew a walk to load the bases.

BOSTON (AP) — Adley Rutschman hit his first homer as a member of the Red Sox, Ranger Suarez picked up his first win since late June and Boston beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-4 on Tuesday night.
Mickey Gasper also homered for Boston and added an RBI single in the seventh as the Red Sox followed up their 16 hits in an 11-1 rout Monday night in the series opener with 13 more hits Tuesday. Eight players had at least one hit for Boston, which has won three of its last four games.
Gabriel Moreno hit a grand slam in the third for Arizona, extending his hitting streak to a career-best 12 games. The Diamondbacks have lost three straight and five of seven.
Arizona was without All-Star second-baseman Ketel Marte for the second straight night. Manager Torey Lovullo said before the game that he had been told Marte traveled to Phoenix for tests on his left knee after being a no-show for the series opener without much of an explanation. The club has placed Marte on the restricted list.
Rutschman had a two-run single in Boston's three-run first and added a solo homer that tied the game at 4 in the fourth. It was Rutschman's ninth homer of the season and first since the Red Sox acquired him in a trade-deadline deal with Baltimore earlier this month.
