CLEVELAND (AP) —en World Series titles Brad Boxberger Jersey , and are now on the cusp of eclipsing an even older milestone.Sam Travis and Tzu-Wei Lin hit their first major league home runs and the Red Sox tied a team record more than a century old with their 105th win, beating the Indians 7-5 Friday night.The AL East champion Red Sox (105-49), playing without several of their regulars, matched the club mark set in 1912.“It was great, to have all the guys even the ones that didn’t play at the top step, it was like a regular game,” Boston manager Alex Cora said. “It was a fun game overall, good energy. It was a long night, we got here late and for them to come here and play was fun.”Boston’s magic number to have home-field advantage throughout the postseason was also reduced to one.Trevor Bauer took a step toward being in Cleveland’s postseason rotation, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings in his first appearance since breaking his right leg on Aug. 11. He was 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA when was struck on the lower leg by a line drive hit by Jose Abreu of the Chicago White Sox.“It’s been a frustrating five and a half weeks for me not being able to be out there,” Bauer said. “It’s definitely nice to get back in a game situation, especially jumping back in against a team like the Red Sox. They’ve been the best team in baseball this year.”Boston ace Chris Sale, being eased back into the rotation after recent shoulder trouble, struck out seven in 3 1/3 innings. He allowed two runs in his third start back from the disabled list.“That’s a good offensive team so that’s a good test,” Cora said. “He’s feeling fine so we will see how he reacts feeling the next few days.”Cora said Sale will start against Baltimore on Wednesday.Josh Donaldson homered off Sale in the fourth, ending the lefty’s 35-inning consecutive scoreless streak. It was the first homer off Sale in 75 innings.Donaldson was acquired from Toronto on Aug. 31 after missing three months with a calf injury. His homer on a 1-2 pitch landed in the left field bleachers and was his second with the Indians and seventh of the season.The Red Sox used nine pitchers against the AL Central champion Indians. Matt Barnes (6-3) pitched a scoreless sixth and Craig Kimbrel worked the ninth for his 42nd save.Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts, Andrew Benintendi and Jackie Bradley Jr. were out of Boston’s lineup. Rafael Devers homered and Travis, who had three RBIs, for the Red Sox, who used a four-run seventh to erase a 4-2 deficit.Shane Bieber (10-5) allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings.Bauer allowed two hits Daniel Descalso Jersey , walked one and struck out J.D. Martinez, the major league RBIs leader. He threw 34 pitches — 17 strikes — and was pulled after allowing one-out singles to Steve Pearce and Brock Holt in the second.Bauer is scheduled to start Tuesday against the White Sox and will pitch in Kansas City next weekend.“The health, the feeling in the ankle, has been better,” Bauer said. “So everything’s trending in a very positive direction.”BIG MOMENTLeft-hander Robby Scott retired Michael Brantley on a foul out to left with the bases loaded to end the eighth. Cora decided to intentionally walk Francisco Lindor to set up the situation.“We don’t walk too many people, but I’m not going to let him (Lindor) beat me there,” Cora said. “I’d rather walk him and take a chance with Brantley with that matchup.”IMPROVED SWINGDonaldson was the DH on Friday and will play third base Saturday and Sunday. He’s batting .217 (5 for 23) with Cleveland, but is feeling comfortable at the plate.“I haven’t had much of the results, but I’ve hit some balls hard,” Donaldson said. “As long my approach and how I’m seeing the ball, my pitch recognition, is up to par, and I’m hitting the ball solid, there’s not much more I can ask for.”Donaldson says Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald put him in touch with a doctor who specializes in soft tissue injuries during his rehab that helped the recovery process.MAKING PROGRESSDevers hit his 18th home run and has had two hits in each of the last two games.“He’s good,” Cora said. “He’s putting in good swings. You can see there’s a lot of confidence in him.”TRAINER’S ROOMRed Sox: INF Eduardo Nunez (left hamstring) is expected to miss the series. He was injured beating out an infield hit Wednesday.UP NEXTRHP Rick Porcello (17-7, 4.30 ERA), the team leader in wins, starts Saturday for Boston. RHP Mike Clevinger (12-8, 3.06 ERA) starts against the Red Sox for the first time this season. ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Javier Baez had a slight smile on his face when he was asked how different he felt playing shortstop and hitting cleanup for the Chicago Cubs.Two big swings on opening day indicate he’s picking up where he left off last season.“Uh, the same. I feel more confident at the plate Ketel Marte Jersey , being smarter with a plan,” Baez said. “About the lineup, you can really put me anywhere. We’ve got guys here who can hit leadoff, third, fourth, last. It doesn’t matter.”Baez homered twice, Jon Lester won for the first time in his last five opening day starts and the Cubs began the season with a 12-4 victory Thursday at Texas, spoiling the debut of new Rangers manager Chris Woodward in the 26th and final opener in their current ballpark.While batting everywhere in the lineup except ninth, Baez hit 34 homers and led the National League with 111 RBIs last season, when he finished second in MVP voting and was the starting second baseman in the All-Star Game.“We all kind of saw him grow up before our eyes last year,” Lester said. “He’s done it, so I don’t think the questions are there as far as can he. … Let Javy do Javy, and I think good things will happen.”With Addison Russell completing his 40-game suspension for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy, Baez opened this season as the starting shortstop. Barring no postponements, Russell could be eligible to return in early May.Kris Bryant added a two-run shot for the Cubs, opening their fifth season under manager Joe Maddon after four playoff appearances in a row that included the 2016 World Series title.Elvis Andrus and Nomar Mazara each hit a two-run homer for Texas, which matched its most lopsided loss in a season opener.The Cubs led 7-2 in the fifth after Baez greeted reliever Jesse Chavez with a three-run homer on the right-hander’s first pitch. That was an inning after Baez hit a solo shot, when he reached out almost one-handed to pull an 82 mph 0-2 breaking pitch from Mike Minor (0-1) into the left-field seats.“Last year at this time (Baez) was hitting really low in the batting order. There wasn’t that same kind of vibe coming out of him like you’re seeing right now,” Maddon said. “Right now, he cannot be more confident.”Lester (1-0) limited Texas to two runs over six innings to win his first opening day start since 2013 with the Red Sox. The lefty lost Boston’s 2014 opener, and dropped his debut with the Cubs in 2015 before no-decisions the last two years.Minor http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-greinke-jersey , the only holdover from last season’s Rangers rotation, made his first career opening day start. He permitted six runs and five hits over 4 2/3 innings.Woodward, the 42-year-old former utility infielder who played 12 big league seasons, was the third base coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers the past three seasons — and last two World Series.Minor and six Rangers relievers, including two making their big league debuts, combined to allow 13 hits and eight walks.“We’re going to have days like this. It’s pretty obvious the reason why,” Woodward said. “Weird things happen first game. … Maybe it’s the nerves. It was pretty windy out there. A lot of guys were saying the ball was moving way more than normal.”RANGERS DINGERSAndrus, the 30-year-old shortstop and the longest-tenured Rangers player starting his 11th season, homered in the third and had three of the four hits allowed by Lester. Mazara’s drive with two outs in the ninth that went in the upper deck in right field was projected at 482 feet.SLICK PLAYAsdrubal Cabrera is the starting third baseman for the Rangers with Adrian Beltre now retired. The two-time All-Star shortstop, who signed a one-year deal before spring training, had a defensive gem in the second inning when he backhanded a chopper near the line, then spun and made a strong throw to get David Bote out at first.TRAINER’S ROOMCubs: RHP Yu Darvish, after throwing a bullpen, said the blister on his ring finger is healing and he will be ready for his first start of the season Saturday.Rangers: LHP Yohander Mendez (strained elbow ligament) was put on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to March 25. The 24-year-old rookie is expected to miss the first half of the season.UP NEXTCubs: Darvish, who started his major league career with Texas in 2012 after seven pro seasons in Japan, pitches against the Rangers for the first time since they traded him in 2017.Rangers: Lance Lynn’s only previous appearance at the Rangers’ home ballpark was as a rookie with St. Louis in the 2011 World Series. The right-hander on Saturday makes his first start for Texas since signing a $30 million, three-year deal as a free agent in December.
