The Red Sox still haven’t been swept this year, so that’s a neat thing. It’s about the only positive we can take from this road trip that is now in the past, but it also involved a win on Sunday and a happy flight home. This one was all about pitching, and particularly pitching from guys were don’t really think of when we picture dominant performances. Hector Velázquez got the start, and while he wasn’t stretched out enough to go deep into the game he was great for three innings of work. After him, Brandon Workman, Marcus Walden, Matt Barnes and Ryan Brasier did the damn thing out of the bullpen.
