"It was fun. ... I had a blast," said Tolleson, after holding off one more Red Sox threat to close out the 2-1 win. "It was fun. It was exciting. It was everything you think of. Everybody else had gone in and done their job. [The Red Sox] didn't make it easy. I had to make pitches."
Tolleson was the fourth reliever used to hold down the win for Phil Klein, the converted reliever who was making his first Major League start.
