The Worcester Red Sox slugged their way past the Red Wings, 12-1, Friday night to even the series at two games apiece.
Luis Garcia gave the Wings the early lead hitting the first pitch of the game over the left field fence.
But, it was all Woo Sox from there. Worcester hit homers in the first, second and fifth innings to take a 4-1 lead.

As Alek Manoah prepares to make his major league debut tonight in New York, I thought it would be worth breaking down each of his three AAA starts this year in terms and what they might tell us about how tonight might go.
May 6th vs. Worchester
6 IP, 0 runs on 2 hits, no walks, 3 HBP and 12 strikeouts
Simply put, Manoah’s 2021 debut was about pure dominance and overpowering hitters. Of his 83 pitches, batters swung at 36 and made contact just half the time, on 18 of those swings. That resulted in Manoah striking over half of the 22 batters he faced, which is impressive by any measure.

WORCESTER 7, SYRACUSE 4 (BOX)
Syracuse’s less-than-impressive start to the season continued with another loss to the Woo Sox, their fourth in a row and tenth on the season. Jesus Reyes gave up five runs in the third, and while Syracuse started chipping away at that lead, reliever A.J. Schugel gave up back-to-back homers in the seventh to basically put the game out of reach for the Mets.

Massachusetts took another step toward the new normal Monday as the state relaxed a series of COVID restrictions and began to offer walk-in appointments for vaccine shots.
