I spoke to Craig Kimbrel after the game and he said it was decided to keep him "on his regular schedule" which meant today was a rest day. He also said he had pitched a lot recently so he preferred to get some rest. He did tell me he would've pitched if called upon.

Sale calls All-Star experience 'awesome' (1:13)

David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer 

Chris Sale is starting his third straight All-Star Game, joining Lefty Gomez and Robin Roberts as the only pitchers to do. So that's pretty cool. As A.J. Hinch, it's a reflection of his year-to-year dominance and consistency.

Bogaerts, Holt help red-hot Red Sox enter break with win

Xander Bogaerts homered in his first at-bat a day after hitting a walk-off grand slam and drove in two runs, leading the Boston Red Sox past the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2 on Sunday to enter the All-Star break with their best record since 1949.

Aaron Boone was asked today if he does any scoreboard watching of the Red Sox. He pauses then smiles: "I see they win every day." He adds that he isn't worried about keeping an eye on Boston at this point; as he said, "it's July." "I'm worried about us going out playing our best."

The following from ESPN Stats & Information helps illustrate just how close the race between the Yankees and Red Sox has been, not to mention how well they've both played overall. According to Stats & Info, tonight marked the 75th time this season the Yanks and Sox have played on the same day ... But this was only the sixth time this season both lost on the same day.

Blue Jays win 13-7, snap Red Sox win streak at 10 games

Kevin Pillar had four hits and Justin Smoak had three, including a pair of homers, and they drove in four runs apiece on Friday night to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Red Sox 13-7 and snap Boston's 10-game winning streak.

David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer 

Mookie Betts is amazing, a gift from the baseball gods to fans. He's 3-for-3 with two triples so far and is slashing an unbelievable .358/.446/.700. Those are Ted Williams numbers and Williams didn't face too many 98-mph heaters in his day.
