The Red Sox beat the Athletics 6-3 on Wednesday night to halt the team’s four-game losing streak.
And the Celtics defeated the Heat 112-102 in Miami, with Gordon Hayward scoring 25 to lead the team.
The concern over Chris Sale: Former closer Brad Lidge, now a co-host on MLB Network Radio’s “Inside Pitch,” had some thoughts on the velocity drop experienced by Chris Sale so far this season. The Red Sox ace, who normally throws in the mid to upper 90s, averaged 89 m.p.h. in his latest start.
“In terms of performance, I think Chris Sale can pitch at 90-92, and you said he was even at 89 a lot,” said Lidge to his co-host.
