He faced teammates Rusney Castillo, Pablo Sandoval, Chris Young, Ryan Hanigan, David Murphy and Ali Solis. He faced 11 batters, throwing 38 pitches and allowing no runs.

    Boston College has made history, but not the kind you'd like in the books.The Eagles dropped their final ACC game of the season today, 66-50, to Clemson, thus completing an 0-18 conference schedule. That skid, combined with the football team's 0-8 slate, has put BC in the record books.BC is the first school to go winless in both major sports in ACC history. In fact, not since former Southwest Conference member TCU went a combined 0-24 during the 1976-77 season has a school from a major Division..

    Bud Collins, barrier-breaker and tennis authority, dies at 86
    In the early 1960s, after joining The Boston Globe as a tennis writer, Bud Collins took a giant leap into the future of sports journalism when he stepped in front of a TV camera to offer commentary. As he expanded the reach of columnists, he called himself a “scribbler and a babbler,” and the words that emerged were as colorful and memorable as the custom-tailored pants he wore while covering more than a half-century of tennis championships.Mr. Collins provided the sport with its most authorita..

He's in shape and plays hard. He has a great attitude. He'll earn just $515,000 in 2016 and he outplayed both Sandoval and Ramirez during 2015 when those two underachieving veterans made a combined $37.350 million.  The Red Sox should give Shaw the chance to compete with Ramirez, Sandoval and even left fielder Ru..
