Rick Porcello 4-0 for Red Sox

Red Sox starter, David Price pitched terrific and totaled 14 strikeouts tying his career high.

Travis Shaw has been hitting so well through Boston's first 19 games, it's somewhat surprising he only had one home run entering Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

It has been that kind of opening month for the Braves as they try to snap a 15-game home-run drought - the longest power outage in their Atlanta history.

Bradley picked on a 1-0 changeup from Teheran (0-3) with one out in the seventh inning and sent a drive into the right-field seats for his first homer of the season.

Teherhan did his best to keep pace against a Red Sox lineup that was without both David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez, giving up the one run over seven innings, striking out eight, walking three and allowing six hits.

WASHINGTON - Andres Blanco's three hits included a two-run homer and he scored the go-ahead run on Maikel Franco's seventh-inning double, helping Philadelphia edge Bryce Harper and Washington.

He'll have to contend with a hot Dustin Pedroia, who is 10 for 22 with five extra-base hits, three RBIs and four runs over the last four games.

Through four starts, Porcello is 4-0 with a 3.51 ERA for the Red Sox, who watched him sink in the first year of his four-year, $82-million extension last season. Jackie Bradley Jr was hit by a pitch in the leg, which ended up being costly for the Braves.

Late in Tuesday night's game, Pat Light's world started spinning quicker than his fastball. "If it wasn't for that first inning being such a long inning, he only had 78 pitches, we need him in the future for another 20 plus starts so we made a decision to go to the bullpen". He struck out three in the sixth and two more in the seventh, finally settling into a groove as the night progressed.

Ultimately, the Red Sox faltered on Thursday and have been inconsistent throughout, gravitating to a. 500 record at 9-9.

Let's take a look at a few other notes from Tuesday's 11-4 Red Sox win.

In the third, Texas got all five runs with two outs after Prince Fielder was intentionally walked by Luis Severino (0-3) to load the bases. "That's my main focus for [Tuesday]", said Price, who will make his fifth Red Sox start in the finale of the Turner Field portion of a home-and-home series against the Braves. "Going back to the conversation in spring training, not knowing where he was going to break with us". Hi eleven runs thirteen hits tonight we'll get to hear your thoughts on the picture in a moment but the home run is hit. 418.

Is it just me, or is something starting to click for this team. Steven Wright (0-2) will pitch against Colin McHugh (1-2). The Red Sox threat died, though, when Brock Holt struck out into a double play with the runners going.

And Shaw's not just doing it with the bat, either.

Travis Shaw drew Teheran's second walk of the game with one out in the fourth, and Josh Rutledge followed with the single. Luckily have been pretty good swing on it right there to get some nice early cushion.

Gonzalez acknowledged he has no answers for the staggering home-run drought.
