Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox
Final Score: Scranton/WB 2, Pawtucket Red Sox 1
Notable Pitchers:
Matt Barnes (4.2 IP, 6 H, R, 3 BB, 5 K)
* Barnes is now back in the rotation at Pawtucket after several flip-flops between relief and starting in the minors. Tonight Barnes tossed 91 pitches – 56 for strikes. Barnes has an explosive fastball that can touch into the high 90s and secondary pitches that can, at times, be of MLB quality. With Boston in parts of two seasons Barnes has worked out of the bullpen with less than positive results posting a 3-2 record in 26 games, 31.
