Red Sox Minor Lines: Strong seasons continue for Thad Ward and Bryan Mata

Tzu-Wei Lin, LF: 3-4, 1 2B, 2 RBI

Josh Ockimey, 1B: 0-4

Hector Velázquez: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K (38 pitches)

This was a good close win for the PawSox, who continues to get big production out of nowhere from Owings in the middle of their lineup. He is now up to seven homers in 29 games, which is a 36-homer pace over 150 games. Remember, Triple-A is now using the major-league ball. On the pitching side, Brasier gave up a solo homer while Velázquez and Lakins did the job out of the bullpen.
