Jonny Gomes Catches Trevor Story's HR From Monster Seats

May 21, 2022 12:23 AM

Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story connected again Friday night -- this time with a former Boston player seated atop the Green Monster.

Story, who hit three home runs in Boston's victory Thursday, launched a grand slam to give the Red Sox a 4-0 lead over Seattle in the third inning.

Former Red Sox left fielder Jonny Gomes was back in the action, too, sitting atop the Green Monster.

Seated in the first row of seats above the left-field wall, Gomes, who played on Boston's 2013 World Series championship team, stood up and moved a step or two to his right before corralling the ball against his body.

Trevor Story had three homers, four hits and seven RBIs and tacked on a stolen base to help the Boston Red Sox rally from a four-run deficit to beat the Seattle Mariners 12-6 Thursday night.

Reds Don't Allow Hit But Lose 1-0 To Pirates

May 15, 2022 10:56 PM

Reds prized rookie Hunter Greene and reliever Art Warren combined to allow zero hits in a complete game, but it didn't count as a no-hitter -- or even a win.

Instead, the Pirates eked out a run in the bottom of the eighth inning on three walks and a groundout for a 1-0 victory Sunday.

The Pirates become the sixth team in big league history since 1901 to win despite not getting any hits.
