Gonzalez was lifted from Wednesday’s game at Fenway Park following a nasty collision with Rangers first baseman Josh Smith while trying to beat out an infield single in the sixth inning. The positive news here is that both players were able to get back on their feet with Smith staying in the contest. Gonzalez, who was replaced by Abraham Toro at the cold corner to open the seventh inning, will undergo further evaluation and there should be an update on his status following the game.

Not only was Abreu productive, but he was also clutch. His first long ball tied this game at two. Then, his run-scoring double tied it at three and nearly gave his Red Sox the lead before Kristian Campbell was thrown out at home. His eighth inning home run was less dramatic, just adding insurance to the lead. A funny note though, this was the third multi-homer game of Abreu’s career and all three have come against the Rangers. Nevertheless, his strong start has blended nicely into a tremendous season and the Red Sox would be hard-pressed to take his .980 OPS out of the lineup any time soon.

It’s never easy for Chapman who allowed a home run to Josh Jung and then let Corey Seager come to the plate as the tying run, but he managed to get the job done. He threw four pitches harder than 102 mph in this outing too, including a season-best 103.8 mph on his sinker. At times, he seems ageless and has a firm hold on closer duties in Boston.

Coming off his best start of the season last week against the Blue Jays, Houck just couldn’t keep the good times rolling. The Rangers put traffic on the bases in each inning besides the first, Houck was lucky to escape the third with just one run home after he made a throwing error, and Adolis García barely snuck a homerun around the foul pole in the fourth. Then, he was chased in the fifth after allowing two hits and a sacrifice fly. Again, Houck has refused to adjust against left-handed batters just throwing sinkers and sweepers to them repeatedly. His plan was simply to throw those pitches harder – they got up to 97 mph and 86 mph respectively – but that still puts him in a difficult spot against them. He’ll head to Detroit for his next scheduled start against the Tigers.

Toglia’s homer is the fourth of the season. The 26-year-old also drew a walk while improving his slash to a still ugly .215/.273/.372 over the Rockies’ first 35 games. The home park is nice and Toglia certainly has some solid pop in his bat, but he doesn’t do the other things well enough to make him a quality fantasy option.

Tellez brought the Mariners to within one run in the sixth, and Seattle later went ahead of Dylan Moore’s double in the eighth. The homer was Tellez’s fifth of the year. Even though he’s batting just .208, he has 18 RBI in 84 plate appearances.

Freeman has owned the Marlins dating back to his days as Atlanta’s primary offensive catalyst and the phenomenon continued during Wednesday’s series finale when he broke a scoreless stalemate with a sixth-inning RBI single before scalding a bases-clearing, three-run triple in the seventh inning to break the contest wide open. He finished the three-game series with a whopping eight RBI and the Marlins are sure glad to see him leaving loanDepot park.
