Rocket men: Red Sox pitchers mow down 20 Rangers

BOSTON -- Catch a whiff of this: Five Boston Red Sox pitchers combined to tie a major league record for strikeouts Thursday night.

Drew Pomeranz, Heath Hembree, Robby Scott, Matt Barnes and Craig Kimbrel punched out 20 Texas Rangers batters in a 6-2 victory to complete a series sweep at Fenway Park. It marked only the sixth time a team recorded 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game. The Red Sox have accounted for half of those instances.

About time the Red Sox pitchers do something right

Real or not? Giants still have playoff hopes, 20 strikeouts are boring

let the fire sale begin

MLB Network's Jon Morosi reports that the Tigers will make all veterans available via trade if they're still under .500 by the end of June.

It's the same stance they seemingly had going into last winter before they wound up essentially just standing pat. However, the Tigers have an aging roster that seems unlikely to be in the thick of the playoff race and also the desire to cut payroll, so it's not hard to see the writing on the wall here. Morosi notes that Justin Wilson drew the most interest of any Tigers player last offseason and that interest has surely only piqued given how good he's been in the first two months. However, we could see Detroit unload several players, from impending free agent J.D. Martinez to possibly even Justin Verlander. The Tigers are currently two games under .500 and 4.5 games behind the Twins in the American League Central.
