In a memorable at-bat in the top of the fifth, Buchholz, making his second start in a National League park this season, worked Miller for 10 pitches.
It almost didn't matter that Buchholz struck out. Miller threw 105 pitches in 5 2/3 innings.
"I thought one of the key at-bats of the game was Clay Buchholz in the fifth inning," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "It was a 10-pitch at-bat and we were able to run the pitch count up."
Buchholz, who takes pride in being a good athlete, was just trying to do his part.
