Family ties: Farrells reunite in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI -- Earlier this season, Red Sox manager John Farrell had the thrill of flying to Kansas City and sitting in the stands at Kauffman Stadium as his son, Luke, made his Major League debut.

This weekend, John Farrell will be in the unique position of competing against Luke's team, the Cincinnati Reds. After spending stints in the Royals and Dodgers organizations this season, Luke Farrell is a September call-up for the Reds and could get some action out of the bullpen in this three-game series.

"I don't know how many times this has happened in the history of baseball, but for myself, for my dad, for my family, this is a pretty cool experience," Luke Farrell said.
