Porcello supplies crisp stuff, basepaths mayhem and another win

PHILADELPHIA -- Rick Porcello grew up about 90 minutes from Philadelphia in northern New Jersey, but the friends and relatives who make up his cheering section were not on hand for Tuesday night's matchup between the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies. When they take their seats at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday, as expected, he'll be kicking back in the dugout chewing sunflower seeds or whatever it is that starting pitchers do to stay engaged on their recovery day.
