Thursday’s Red Sox win was the perfect moment to celebrate the journeyman

COMMENTARY

There’s something delightfully apt about Christian Arroyo and Rob Refsnyder being at the core of Thursday’s 9-8 Red Sox victory over the Rangers, a five-run comeback just about conjured from thin air.

Arroyo, who added three more RBIs to a torrid month-plus and drew his second intentional walk in about a week, might finally play half a season in this, his sixth year in the majors. Refsnyder, who finished things with his first career walk-off hit, is in his ninth organization in the past six years.

They are journeymen having a moment, as journeymen do.
