Three starts into this 2018 season, Rick Porcello looks like he’s back.
In a grey and wet game last night against the New York Yankees, Porcello’s sinker frustrated and his slider was biting. He took a no-hitter into a rain delay after five innings, then surrendered two hits but no runs through seven in the Red Sox’ 6-3 win to clinch the series.
“I just feel like me,” Porcello said afterward. “I feel like I can go out there and attack guys and go at them with whatever I got.”
After losing 11-of-19 to the Yankees last year, the Sox have begun this season taking two of the first three from their rivals as they improved to 10-2 overall.
