Friday night’s headlines were dominated by a transaction rather than what happened on the field, as the Red Sox made their first move of the deadline in sending both Brandon Workman and Heath Hembree to Philadelphia in exchange for Nick Pivetta and Connor Seabold. While that was happening, though, there was actually a game underway as well. The Red Sox had a bullpen game down in Baltimore as they were looking to win three games in a row for the first time all season. They managed to get the job done on the backs of their three biggest bats and got strong performances from all but one of the handful of pitchers they used.
