Not My Bailey-wick
After blowing the save last night Andrew Bailey is out as closer. Koji Uehara will replace him for tonight’s game; John Farrell made it a point that this may not be a permanent situation. Uehara gets excited enough for holds, imagine when he saves a game. David Ortiz had better be on the lookout.
Third base umpire Alfonso Marquez had occasion to flash his fashionable socks as Phil Coke made his habitual sprint to the mound. The reliever probably expended more energy on the run than he did on the three strikes he threw to Jacoby Ellsbury to end the top half of the seventh inning.
