BOSTON, MA - APRIL 21: Connelly Early #71 of the Boston Red Sox pitches against the New York Yankees during the game at Fenway Park on April 21, 2026 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo By Winslow Townson/Getty Images) | Getty Images In his four career starts at Fenway Park, Connelly Early has gotten a grand total four runs of support from his teammates. The Red Sox have lost those games by scores of 2-1, 2-1, 3-2, and 4-0. As bad as that is though, I regret to inform you that the Red Sox have been shut out each of the last three times I’ve been on game wrap duty (they haven’t scored a run on a Tuesday since April 7th). In other words, for all our sakes, it sure would be nice if the bats would wake up from their slumber today. In order to do that, they’ll have to get to Spencer Arrighetti, who is on the mound for the Astros. Arrighetti has been strong this year with a 2.00 ERA in three starts, but his career ERA paints a much less intimidating picture at 4.45. If the offense can get to him and help power the team to a win, the first Sox sweep of the year is a real possibility as the Astros still have not announced a starter for tomorrow and Boston has Ranger Suarez ready to go. Lineup wise Jarren Duran is back in at leadoff after his three run homer last night, and starts on the bench for the fifth time in Chad Tracy’s first six games as manager.
