The Red Sox were supposed to play Friday’s game with Chris Sale on the mound, but after he agreed to his five-year extension he was announced as a healthy scratch. Presumably it was so he could undergo his physical, though as far as I know that was never confirmed. Either way, he didn’t pitch and Dan Runzler took his place. The first two innings weren’t too exciting as far as who was pitching, but the offense continued the roll they got on Thursday. Things are starting to click here, and a couple of the relievers had some strong days too.
