The Red Sox started their road trip in ugly fashion as David Price had a rough start and the Rangers broke the game open against Hector Velazquez in the fourth inning. With it being an early blowout, Boston had to either turn to one guy to finish the majority of the game or kill their bullpen. They opted for door number one, and that meant Marcus Walden tossed 53 pitches in 3 2⁄3 innings. The righty, who was just recently brought to the active roster when Eduardo Rodriguez was placed on family medical leave, pitched pretty well on Friday, but it didn’t matter.
Red Sox recall Bobby Poyner, option Marcus Walden
