ABOUT YESTERDAY: The Red Sox scored scored two runs in the ninth inning and another in the 10th to steal a 3-2 win from the Mets on Sunday afternoon, extending their win streak to nine games — their longest since they took 10 in a row at this time last year. Tim Healey has the game story.
Here is the box score.
BACK FOR NOW: Called up from Triple-A Worcester, Brayan Bello contributed 4⅓ innings out of the bullpen and held the Mets to one run, playing a key role in the come-from-behind win. Tim Healey has more in the notebook.
MANAGING JUST FINE: Chad Tracy has a 36-31 record as interim manager despite too many days when the lineup looked more suited for a spring training road game. Peter Abraham wonders if the Sox should drop the interim label.
WAITING GAME: The Sox managed to overcome a 22-hour travel mess from Chicago to New York to take Friday night's opener, 6-2, then followed up with
a 4-0 win on Saturday
in a de facto bullpen game, with five pitchers getting the job done.
PROUD MOMENT: For Franklin Arias, this year’s Futures Game represented something beyond his own career. The Red Sox prospect found it even more meaningful to represent his home country of Venezuela on a prominent stage. Alex Speier has more on the 20-year-old shortstop.
HE'S TALKING BASEBALL: Bob Ryan is writing about baseball. How it was, how it is, and how it will always be.
SURPRISE PICK: Virtually no one anticipated University of North Carolina shortstop Jake Schaffner would go in the first round in the 2026 MLB Draft, but the Red Sox viewed Schaffner as far more talented than his public projections and selected him with the 20th pick. Alex Speier has more on the organization's Day 1 selections.
ARMING UP: After taking three position players during Day 1, the Red Sox focused on pitching Sunday, using 11 of their 16 selections on pitchers, including four consecutive college arms in Rounds 5-8. Matty Wasserman has a look at all of the Red Sox’ selections in the 2026 MLB Draft.
BUMILA TO THE RANGERS: Bishop Feehan lefthander Body Bumila was selected in the third round, with the 89th pick. Bumila, who had committed to the University of Texas, told the Globe he will sign with the Rangers in the coming days.
HE'S HISTORY: Kaiden McCarthy, a native of Chester, Vermont, became the highest high school draft pick in Vermont history with his selection by the Atlanta Braves in the second round, 48th overall. Matty Wasserman has the story.
IT'S ALL LOCAL: On Sunday, 12 more players with New England connections heard their names called — with 10 being pitchers, and 11 coming from the college ranks. Cam Kerry an overview of those who were selected.
