2017 Boston Red Sox season

The 2017 Boston Red Sox season was the 117th season in the team's history, and their 106th season at Fenway Park. They finished with 93 wins and 69 losses, the same record as their previous season, two games ahead of the second-place New York Yankees. It was also the team's first season in 15 years without David Ortiz, due to his retirement. The Red Sox won their second straight American League East championship, the first time the team won the division (which was established in 1969) in consecutive years; it was their ninth division title overall. In the postseason, they lost the American League Division Series in four games to the eventual 2017 World Series champions, the Houston Astros.

Regular season

Opening Day, April 3 vs. Pittsburgh

Reigning AL Cy Young winner Rick Porcello made his first opening day start of his career, going 6 1⁄3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits in the win. The Red Sox bats could only get one hit off of Pirates starter Gerrit Cole through 4 2⁄3 innings but then strung together six 2-out hits. Jackie Bradley Jr. started the rally with a triple of the right field wall, Pablo Sandoval legged out an infield single, Sandy León laid down a bunt down the third base line, Dustin Pedroia with a single down the middle, which plated Pablo Sandoval, Andrew Benintendi with a three-run shot in the Pirates bullpen and Mookie Betts reached second on another infield single and a throwing error by the shortstop Jordy Mercer. Hanley Ramírez made the third out and Cole's day was over. Pittsburgh got to Porcello in the seventh, where he gave up three hits and three runs, two of them inherited by Matt Barnes. Barnes eventually got out of the inning. Neither team would score in the remainder of the game and Craig Kimbrel closed out the game on one hit and one hit batsman.

In game two, Boston took an early 1–0 lead, but that's all they would get. Detroit scored four times against Eduardo Rodríguez and dropped two games in a row. With several players already down with the flu, Andrew Benintendi threw up during the sixth inning in the outfield but could finish the game.

Craig Kimbrel gave up one run but eventually closed the game.

In the second game of the odd two-game series against a division rival, Steven Wright was pulled after 1 1⁄3 innings, giving up 8 runs on as many hits. The bullpen allowed four more runs over the course of the game. A rally in the middle innings, where Boston scored 5 runs in three consecutive innings, fell way short.

Down by two runs coming into the eighth, the Pirates allowed three men to reach with one out, two via base on balls.

Chris Sale pitched another gem in his third start and won his first game of the season. He allowed just three hits and one run in seven innings, striking out 12 Rays batters. Moreland scored twice, on a solo shot in the second and a Sandy León groundout, providing the only runs for Boston. Drew Pomeranz didn't make it through the fifth with five allowed runs, but the Red Sox out-hit the Rays 17–7.

On Patriots' Day, the Red Sox played their traditional 11 am game and quickly scored four runs in the first two innings, after Tampa Bay took a two-run lead in the first.

Red Sox lost the series 1–2 (8–8 runs) April 26–27, vs. New York The first game of the would-be three-game series was rained out and rescheduled for mid-July. In both games Rick Porcello and Chris Sale were given virtually no run support. Both allowed three runs, two earned. Sale struck out ten, but allowed 8 hits. Down just 0–1, Sale was back on the mound for the ninth, in which he gave up three straight hits, before being pulled with no outs recorded.

May May 1–4, vs. Baltimore Mookie Betts got plunked by a 95-mph Dylan Bundy fastball in the first game of the series, but no warnings were issued and there weren't any further actions by either team. Rick Porcello gave up two runs in six innings. Baltimore scored three times in the 8th inning, aided by three Red Sox errors. Chris Sale threw behind Manny Machado in the first inning and both benches were warned.

The bullpen pitched a shutout and Craig Kimbrel picked up his tenth save of the season, striking out the side on 12 pitches. In the final game of the series, emotions cooled down and there were no further retaliations. Kyle Kendrick, in his first start for Boston, surrendered six runs in the loss. Baltimore connected for 17 hits. Red Sox tied the series 2–2 (14–17 runs) May 5–7, at Minneapolis Matt Barnes gave up a walk-off home run to former AL MVP Joe Mauer, after the Red Sox rallied for two runs in the ninth to tie the game. Eduardo Rodríguez pitched six innings, giving up three runs on seven hits. The bats came alive in the second game of the series, scoring eight runs in the second inning. The bases were empty with two outs before Chris Young started a rally with a solo home run. Nine batters reached base, eight of them via the hit and one of them on an error. Boston put three more runs on the board, including another home run by Young and by Sandy León. Rick Porcello went seven innings of one-run ball. In the rubber match, finally Chris Sale received decent run support. Boston tagged the AL ERA leader, with 0.66, Ervin Santana for three runs in the first inning, a Dustin Pedroia solo home run and an absolute blast by Andrew Benintendi with Xander Bogaerts on first, which left the ballpark. After Boston extended the lead to four, Sale struggled in the fifth and the Twins tied up the game, only to give up a two-run home run to Sandy León which barely left the park. Up by three in the eighth, Matt Barnes gave up a home run and could not make an out. Lefty Robby Scott got the out against the lefty batter but a run scored on the sacrifice fly. With the tying run on third and only one out, Craig Kimbrel came in in a high-leverage situation and struck out both batters he faced. In a 39-minute top of the ninth, seven consecutive players reached base safely with one out, before Deven Marrero grounded out. The inning was extended on a fielding error. Four more batters reached base safely, including three consecutive walks. Chris Young, the 15th batter of the inning, became the third out. Except for Marrero, every hitter in the line-up reached base safely; ten runs came across the plate to score. Santana allowed six runs in the game, all of them earned. He allowed only three runs in his previous six starts combined. Sale extended his 10+ strikeout streak to six. Red Sox won the series 2–1 (32–12 runs) May 9–11, at Milwaukee The Brewers tagged Drew Pomeranz for six runs in four innings in the loss. Boston narrowed the gap to two runs in the fifth but Heath Hembree allowed three more runs in the sixth. Kyle Kendrick also allowed six runs in his start, a hole too deep for the offense to climb out of. Both teams collected 49 hits in the first two games combined. Coming into the game with a career ERA of 5.26 in day games, as opposed to his 3.36 ERA in night games, Eduardo Rodríguez pitched a three-hit, one-run game over six frames. He was pinch hit for in the seventh. Boston left the go-ahead run stranded at third with nobody out in the top of eighth. Craig Kimbrel was again summoned from the bullpen in a non-save situation, with the go-ahead run at first and one out in the bottom of the eighth. He struck out Eric Thames, allowed an infield hit and the runner from second advanced to third on a wild pitch. Kimbrel ended the threat with another strikeout. In the top of the ninth, Christian Vázquez walked and Deven Marrero reached on an error. Mookie Betts put three runs on the board with his fifth home run of the season. Kimbrel struck out the side on a total of nine pitches to secure the win—it was the third immaculate inning in Red Sox franchise history.

August

August August 3–August 6, vs. Chicago White Sox August 8–August 9, at Tampa Bay Rays On August 9, the Red Sox defeated the Rays, 8–2, to extend their winning streak to eight games. In the fifth inning, Rick Porcello struck out the side on nine pitches; it was the fourth immaculate inning in franchise history and second of the season, following one by Craig Kimbrel on May 11. August 11–August 13, at New York Yankees August 14, vs. Cleveland Indians August 15–August 16, vs. St. Louis Cardinals August 18–August 20, vs. New York Yankees August 21–August 24, at Cleveland Indians August 25–August 27, vs. Baltimore Orioles This three-game series was played on the inaugural Players Weekend, when MLB players are allowed and encouraged to put nicknames on the back of their uniforms. For the opening game, the nicknames used by Boston's starting lineup were as follows: Order No. Player Nickname Pos. 1 36 Eduardo Núñez NUNIE 2B 2 16 Andrew Benintendi BENNY LF 3 50 Mookie Betts MOOKIE RF 4 18 Mitch Moreland 2-BAGS 1B 5  2 Xander Bogaerts X SS 6 11 Rafael Devers CARLÍTA 3B 7 30 Chris Young CY DH 8 25 Rajai Davis RAJ CF 9  3 Sandy León NOAH C – 22 Rick Porcello VEINTIDÓS P The August 25 game, a 16–3 win by Baltimore, was notable for the Red Sox making an illegal player re-entry late in the game, which went undetected at the time. With the Orioles leading by 13 runs, position player Mitch Moreland pitched the ninth inning for Boston, with Hanley Ramírez entering the game to play first base, resulting in loss of the designated hitter. Ramírez should have taken Chris Young's position in the batting order (seventh). However, with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, Young batted in his (former) seventh position in the order, which is an illegal player re-entry. Young hit a single, and the game ended three batters later, with Young's hit having no bearing on the outcome of the game. The illegal player re-entry appears to be unique in MLB history.

Sign stealing revelations

In September 2017, the Red Sox were fined for their role in stealing signs from the rival New York Yankees. On February 4, 2020, MLB Network journalist Peter Gammons reported that former Red Sox player Chris Young, who left the Red Sox following the 2017 season, told him that Young was the mastermind of the Red Sox' Apple Watch scheme, telling him "I started the whole Apple Watch thing. I got it from when I was with the Yankees." Young later denied to SportsNet New York (SNY) that he told this to Gammons, and Gammons retracted his comments via Twitter, stating that Young's "word is gold." In reporting Young's denial, SNY also revealed that Young had in fact been interviewed by MLB officials as part of the 2017 investigation against the Red Sox and that multiple sources told the sports news agency that Young was in fact a leader of the team's 2017 Apple Watch scheme.
