BOSTON -- Matt Andriese found out pretty quickly why the Boston Red Sox are the majors highest scoring team.Facing them for the second time in five days, Andriese gave up a season-high seven runs in just four-plus innings as the Red Sox rode another solid start by Rick Porcello to 9-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night.Andriese (6-6) allowed 10 hits and noticed Bostons hitters laid off his changeup that was effective last Thursday when he went six innings, giving up three runs.I think they did. Seemed like they werent chasing the changeup like they were in my last outing, he said, a day after turning 27. They probably recognized that from the last outing and I just wasnt as gd with the fastball locations.Porcello (18-3) became the majors first 18-game winner and the first Red Sox pitcher in 70 years to open a season 13-0 in Fenway Park, and Mkie Betts hit his 30th homer, a solo shot, and drove in two runs for Boston.Thats why hes got 17, 18 wins on the season, Rays catcher Bobby Wilson said. He knows how to pitch and hes obviously been pretty tough this year. He threw the ball well and we just had a couple of chances there, but hes a gd pitcher and he made some quality pitches to get out of some stuff.Evan Longoria had two sacrifice flies for the Rays, who split a four-game series against the Red Sox at home last week.The Rays, buried in last in the AL East, have lost three of four.The Red Sox hold the ALs first wild-card spot but had lost four of five.Brock Holt had three hits and drove in two runs, Travis Shaw had three hits and Chris Young added a tiebreaking two-run double for Boston.Porcello allowed three runs and six hits, striking out seven without issuing a walk to become the first Boston pitcher since Dave B Ferriss finished 13-0 at home in 1946 to start a season by winning his initial 13 decisions in Fenway.Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia missed the game after a death in the family, but hes expected back Tuesday.The game was tied 2-2 after three innings before Boston tk charge with three runs in the fourth and two in the fifth.Young lined his two-run double past third baseman Longoria, moving the Red Sox ahead 4-2. Longoria seemed to mistime the speed of the liner, raising his glove a bit late. Holt added an RBI double.After the Rays cut it to 5-3, Betts lined a run-scoring double into the left-field corner. He scored on Shaws infield hit.Betts homered over the Green Monster, hitting a billboard with the ball bouncing onto the field.TRAINERS RMRays: Manager Kevin Cash has decided to go with six starters when RHP Aex Cobb returns to the rotation this weekend against Toronto after being sidelined since Tommy John surgery in May 2015. We have six guys, all with the reason to be starters, Cash said.Red Sox: Manager John Farrell said RHP Koji Uehara (strained chest muscle) had another strong bullpen session. The next steps are for him to have bullpen on Wednesday before facing live hitters Saturday. ... Farrell said C Ryan Hanigan (left ankle tendinitis) is expected to come off a rehab assignment and join the team when they start a road trip in Oakland on Friday.MAGICIAL MKIEThe 23-year-old Betts joined Ted Williams (1939, 1941) and Tony Conigliaro (1965) as the only Red Sox with 30 homers in a season before turning 24.UP NEXTRays: RHP Jake Odorizzi (9-5, 3.53 ERA) is set to start Tuesday.

Cheap Custom Diamondbacks Jersey .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up. Authentic Custom Diamondbacks Jersey .com) - Following a late-game loss to the reigning NBA champs, the Toronto Raptors will lk to sustain their recent high-level play as they travel to Indiana to take on the Pacers. A change of clothing, a change of ball, a change of format, a change of personnel. A change of fortune? Australia would certainly hope so. After the humiliation of the No. 1 Test side in the world being whitewashed by the No. 7, Steven Smiths men are now searching for a win - any old win - to restore a little bit of self-confidence. There are two pieces of gd news for Australia that will encourage them ahead of this five-match ODI series.One: Rangana Herath is not playing. The man who claimed 28 wickets in the Test series retired from ODIs earlier this year. Two: the Australians might find the pitches for the ODI series a little more to their liking. Of course, it should be noted that there was nothing wrong with the Test pitches. But surfaces designed for 50-over matches and plenty of entertainment - those will suit Australia more.Just as in the Tests, Australia enter this series as No. 1 in the world - the difference is that their lead is so sufficient that even a total disaster will not see them drop from the top spot. A change of personnel will bring some freshness to the group. From outside the Test squad come James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Adam Zampa, George Bailey, Travis Head and Matthew Wade.Still, that leaves nine members of the ODI party who must shake off the disappointments of the past month and find fresh spark in the shorter format. Along with Smith, and his deputy David Warner, there is Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewd, Nathan Lyon, Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Moises Henriques. Mitchell Marsh was originally named in the squad, but has been sent home to rest.No matter where you play, if youre not winning, things are going to be a little bit flat, Faulkner said in Colombo on the eve of the first ODI. But weve got some new faces, and Im one of them, that come into the group and bring some energy and some excitement for the five games and the two T20s after that.Faulkner is, at least, certain to play the first match, after being dropped at the end of the ODI tri-series in the Caribbean in June. But what the rest of Australias XI will lk like remains a mystery. The axing of Glenn Maxwell, Australias reigning ODI cricketer of the year, alters the balance of thhe side, while the return of Warner from injury and the inclusion of Shaun Marsh create a top-order glut.dddddddddddd.The likelihd is that Warner and Finch will open, and it would take a brave selector to leave Marsh out, given the form he displayed in the Colombo Test. That might in turn make it hard to find rm for Khawaja, who was second only to Smith on Australias run charts in the West Indies tri-series. But the dropping of Maxwell from not only the XI but the wider squad shows that almost nobody is safe.Besides the skipper, no one else is really guaranteed a spot in the side, Finch told reporters in Colombo on Friday. You have to be performing all the time. You just have to keep getting the business done, and if you dont, theres always someone breathing down your neck for your spot.When youve got young guys performing well, Travis Head to go to England and get 175 [for Yorkshire] and play well in the last domestic one-day summer, theres always someone breathing down your neck. So you have to be performing all the time, or have a real lot of credits in the bank.One player with almost unlimited credits in the bank is Starc, the Player of the Tournament in last years World Cup and arguably the most dangerous wielder of a white ball at pace in the world right now. Not only that, but Starc is coming off the sort of Test series that would seem fanciful for a fast bowler in Asia: 24 wickets at 15.16, a wicket every 26 balls. The only question is whether the selectors may wish to rest Starc at some point during the ODI series.The other query around Australias attack is whether they will opt for one or two spinners. The young legspinner Zampa has shown remarkable poise during his first year as an international cricketer and is coming off an outstanding Caribbean Premier League season. He should be the starting spinner, ahead of Lyon, who in any case could use a break after sending down 154 overs in the Test series, the most for any bowler from either side.Whatever side Australias selectors come up with, at least they can view this change of format as a fresh start.
