After the Red Sox scraped past the Yankees in Game 4 and into the American League Championship Series, Pedro Martinez served up heaps of praise for the pitchers who made the series-clinching victory possible.
The Hall of Famer first pointed to the bullpen, noting the Red Sox relievers deserve “a lot of credit for tonight’s win and for doing what they did, including Chris Sale for coming out in relief.”
Sale entered Game 4 in the eighth inning with Boston leading 4-1 in the game and 2-1 in the series. He proceeded to send three straight Yankees back to the dugout — forcing a fly out, a ground out, and a strike out in his rare relief appearance.
