Red Sox vs. Padres Game Highlights (5/19/23) | MLB Highlights

He's going to have to go through so many emotions when you win two World Series championships. This is really engaging because they absolutely love him back there and they were frustrated that he signed here with San Diego Blake Snell on the hill for your Friars making his ninth start. If you cut down on the walks you do just fine. Last two starts quality starts Verdugo the former Dodger will lead off for the Red Sox. And did he go. Yes he did. Bruce Dreckman brings him up Blake Snell strikeout number one of the evening. That's a good way to start on the left hander Verdugo can't hold up. Oh yeah that's a big time swing right there as Justin Turner is booed upon his introduction. Very familiar for the red bearded former Dodger that is strike three gets it on the corner and looks like I struck him out twice but OK back to back case two down that was paint down in a way that is a legitimate strike right there. Turner Yeah he's a tough out. He can cover the plate with the best of them. That's a nasty pitch right there at ninety six Rob Reif Snyder two seventy three one home run he's driven in 14 reaches out grounds it back to Snell Blake Scott it runs it most of the way to first base overhand flip to Dixon is in time and a one two three top of the first for Blake Snell on the mound for the Red Sox is James Paxton battling back from injury. Thirty four year old left handed veteran last start against the Cardinals five innings one walk nine strikeouts Fernando Tatis Junior will lead off against James Paxton on the ground in the center field. That's a base hit hanging curve ball from Paxton Tatis is thinking to throw the tag and he is out by plenty an absolutely absurd decision by Fernando Tatis. He wants him to review it. He was out by a mile. There's one away. You're going to review you're up by five feet. I don't know where he was going on this. I can respect the fact that he busted out of the gate. Reif Snyder cuts this ball off kind of shallow center left center just put a decent throw to second base and he's out this Padre offense for all the money they've invested. They really struggle to score runs third fewest in baseball under four a game reaches out lines and into right field for a base hit opposite field poke for Ken. So back to back singles to begin the game but a runner on first one away and the former Red Sox Xander Bogarts will come to bat for the first time against his former team fly ball into right field moving near the line is where do go on the running track to down and here comes one Soto Soto takes outside ball for that'll be his lead leading 40th walk of the year and now two on and two out for the designated hitter Nelson Cruz Paxton try to get through the first inning unscathed and a cut and a miss for strike three he will do exactly that big strikeout to strand to Rafi Devers to lead it off for the Red Sox in the top half of the second inning as a swing and a high fly ball in the right field watch it go it is gone and puts the Red Sox in front one to nothing here against Blake Snell of San Diego no place to put him. And now you've got a guy in Ref Schneider who just keeps doing what he does this year hitting three forty eight against left. He's one of the reasons why you see him hit third when everyone is on the mound swinging a drive into the gap in right center field back into his left angle. He will not get it wrong scores behind him for Dugo. It is a two run double for Rob Ref Schneider and the Sox lead it three to nothing. So now second and third for Raphael Devers this relentless Red Sox offense is at it again swinging a high drive in the center field angle back at the track at the wall of the game a three run absolute in the straightaway center field. The Red Sox have broken it open and it is a relentless lineup this Padres team which makes it so much more frustrating for the fan base here that they have struggled so mightily to score two runs. That's how he strives at a deep right center field where Dugo going back looking up it's gone. Mando takes it out of the yard is six of the year and the Padres will chip away and the pitch is in the dirt ball for they got the bases loaded and of course is only half the equation and the bases loaded a bunch against Kansas City on Wednesday afternoon and just were never able to take advantage of it. This is certainly familiar territory for the Padres. The question now is can someone come up with that big two out not and popped up Doug Turner and foul ground underneath this and we'll make the catch and the Padres fail to score. Paxton gets out of it for another great plate appearance for Rob Reif stunner. He draws a one out walk and that'll bring up Rafi Leiter caught at second base. Oh you can hit it anywhere but you can't hit it into the crowd zone. Devers is out that ball actually hooking off the bat coming into the diving Cronenworth to down the X-Man Xander Bogart against his old team ripped into right field coming in on it for Dugo. He will dive and make the play. That is not very nice at all to his old teammate robbery taking a hit away from Bogin pinning over Paxton is through five. Oh wow. I'll tell you what those those chairs are unbelievable. I have one of those at home. Those the most relaxing chairs. I don't know if you're I don't know if they're good for the bullpen. You might not be able to get out of them. They want to stay. Tried to check his swing. Cosgrove with a nice play well done to get him Red Sox leave a man at third. You know you're really getting terrific starting pitching the bullpen is pitch terrific as of late. It's just been boiled down to what have they been able to do on the offensive end. You know I don't I don't want to be the dead horse. At this point we know that they struggle but those numbers highlight that struggle because normally you get those type of innings from pitching you're winning a lot of ballgame. And a comebacker. Koski with a fine play man one gone. So he's got to hit it harder back in the middle field. Cleanly. More Velo back the other way. One out nobody on for Nelson Cruz swing and a miss. He got him with a cut fastball and the Red Sox are one out away from winning the opener in San Diego. Here's Jake Cronenworth left hand batter. He struck him out and that's the ballgame. The Red Sox win it. They come to San Diego behind Rafi Devers and James Paxton and knock off the Padres who continue to hear boos from the faithful final score six to one in two hours and twenty five minutes. Yeah great team win there. He said Devers and there's two blasts and big maple James Paxton just having a great outing and hopefully he can just keep building upon it. Just huge for the Boston Red Sox. You've drawn it up much better than that.
