Daily Red Sox Links: Jalen Beeks, J.D. Martinez, Andrew Benintendi

We’re going to skip the intro today so you can get to your weekend even faster. You are welcome.

Jalen Beeks made his MLB debut last night and it did not go according to plan. He was hit up for six runs on seven hits in four innings. However, there’s no reason to give up hope, just ask Hector Velazquez, who had a rough MLB debut of his own. (Christopher Smith; MassLive)

Making matters worse, J.D. Martinez was taken out of yesterday’s game, but he says its not a big deal. (Chris Cotillo; MassLive)

Andrew Benintendi is having a moment. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe)
