great start in 2016
Rick Porcello (5-0) had six strikeouts and gave up five hits in seven innings to tie for the major league lead in wins.
Porcello has pitched at least six innings in each of his last 13 starts since coming off the disabled list last August. That is the longest such streak of his career and the longest active streak in the majors.

Red Sox left-hander Rick Porcello will make his 236th career start and attempt to pick up his 19th win of the season. Porcello (18-3) leads the American League in victories :toast:. His previous career high for wins was 15 in 2014 with Detroit. He went 14-9 as a rookie for the Tigers in 2009 but was 9-15 with a 4.92 ERA last season, his first with Boston.
Good luck tonight Rick
Porcello (1-0, 4.38 ERA) has the major's longest streak of consecutive quality starts (15) and starts of at least six innings (20).
The Red Sox are 19-3 in Porcello's past 22 starts. He went 13-1 with a 2.97 ERA at Fenway last season and won on Opening Day with a three-run, six-hit outing against Pittsburgh.

Hit streak alert:
[FONT="]Porcello became just the fifth American League pitcher in the designated hitter era to have hits in three games in the same season, joining Eric Milton (1998), Andy Sonnanstine (2009), Zach Britton ('11) and Bud Norris ('13).[/FONT]
[FONT="]It was Porcello's final appearance in an NL park this season. In other words, if he gets to hit again in 2018, it will be during the World Series.[/FONT]
[FONT="]"That's a three-game hitting streak, so obviously we're looking for him to extend it later on in the season," Cora said.[/FONT]

Rick Porcello is a Human Disaster and the Red Sox Have a Big Problem
The Red Sox<inline style="outline: none; box-sizing: inherit;"> </inline>are suffering from a huge World Series hangover thus far this year, stumbling to a 2-7 start out of the gate, but no one's been hit harder than pitcher Rick Porcello.
The 2016 Cy Young winner, after two starts, already has 11 earned runs to his name and a 13.50 ERA on the year, which is definitely not what you want out of one of your top starting pitchers.
