Red Sox Rotation candidate Quinn Priester has his best start of spring

The priest struck four in 2⅔ Innerings while he was allowed to run with four goals and go. His fastball touched 97 miles per hour and he got fluctuations and misses with his slider and a curve in two hits.

After Kutter Crawford and Brayan Bello will open the season on the injured list, priest is in the mixture for a rotation point.

“I want this job without a doubt. We work for that, ”said Priest. “I think what I can concentrate on is to get better with every single start, and everything that happens will happen. Simply put me in the best possible position to help the team whenever it is. “

Three non-coster invitations led a 12-run day for the Red Sox, with the outfields Trayce Thompson and Nate Eaton Homer (Eaton's was a Grand Slam) and Abraham Toro with a three-run triple.

NEXT: The Red Sox will return to Jetblue Park on Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. to organize the Rays at 1:05 p.m. Lefthaander Garrett crochet will start against the Righthander Joe Boyle. The BC -Hochal -Alaun Mike Vasil is also supposed to record for Tampa Bay.
