BOSTON — The San Francisco Giants didn’t just break their franchise record for pitchers used in a game on Tuesday.
When manager Bruce Bochy was told the club cycled through 13 pitchers in a 7-6, 15-inning win over the Red Sox, besting the previous high of 11 set in September, 1989, he sat back in his seat and laughed.
“Shattered it,” Bochy exclaimed.
Twenty-four pitchers took the mound in total on Tuesday as the Red Sox needed 11 in a game that tied the MLB record set on September 15, 2015 in a game between the Rockies (13 pitchers) and Dodgers (11).
