• 3:02
  their three sons, made a purposeful visit to
• 3:05
  support the team. Manager Alex Cora shared that
• 3:09
  Pedroia reached out last week, wanting to spend
• 3:11
  Mother's Day with his family while enjoying the
• 3:14
  games. Although Pedroia officially retired in
• 3:18
  February 2021, He remains close with the team,
• 3:22
  having made appearances at spring training and
• 3:25
  in Boston last summer for his Hall of Fame induction.
• 3:28
  Maybe he can take some time to talk to Devers
• 3:31
  and teach him how to be a big boy grown up and
• 3:34
  do whatever it takes to help the team and fulfill
• 3:37
  the obligations of his $330 million contract.
• 3:46
  Now on to sports. In Major League Baseball, the
• 3:51
  Colorado Rockies are on track to become a historic
• 3:54
  disaster, following a dismal record of six wins,
• 3:58
  then 33 losses. Last season, the Chicago White
• 4:02
  Sox set a modern record by losing 121 games.
• 4:07
  The Rockies are projected to lose 137 games this
• 4:11
  year, surpassing even the infamous 1899 Cleveland
• 4:15
  Siders. With a winning percentage of 0 .154,
• 4:20
  they face a potential run differential of minus
• 4:23
  557. Despite these struggles, fans continue to
• 4:28
  support the team, drawing in nearly 38 ,000 spectators
• 4:32
  for a recent game. In local sports. Yesterday
• 4:38
  afternoon at Kauffman Stadium, the Sox outplayed
• 4:41
  the Royals 3 -1. Leading the charge, Devers hammered
• 4:45
  a massive 440 -foot homer, while Abreu also shone
• 4:50
  with his own 430 -foot blast. Giolito earned
• 4:55
  the win, allowing just one unearned run over
• 4:57
  six innings, and Chapman secured the save. Despite
• 5:02
  an early error that let Waters score, the Sox
• 5:04
  defense held firm, bringing Boston's record to
• 5:07
  22 -20. Tonight, the Sox head to Detroit for
• 5:11
  Game 1 of a three -game series against the Tigers
• 5:14
  at Comerica Park. Tanner Houck, with a 1 -0 record
• 5:19
  and a 1 .60 ERA, faces Jackson Jobe, who stands

  at 0 -2 with a 4 .88 ERA. First pitch is at 640

  restrictions on foreign gifts. In business news,
