BOSTON -- While Red Sox Nation has spent a good deal of time dissecting who should be the eighth-inning setup man in the postseason, manager Alex Cora seems fine not giving one reliever that distinction.
Perhaps Cora would feel differently if his bullpen had a wipeout reliever in front of Craig Kimbrel. But Cora feels he can make it work with the group of Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier, Steven Wright, Joe Kelly, Tyler Thornburg and others.
DENVER -- Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story continued their high-octane campaigns in Thursday afternoon's finale of a four-game set with the D-backs, with each clocking a milestone homer to spark the Rockies to a 10-3 win at Coors Field.
