On Thursday, the Boston Red Sox got a stellar outing from their bullpen. Seven different pitchers combined to go 7 2/3 scoreless innings. In that time, they allowed just four hits and struck out nine.
Despite that, it’s no secret that Boston needs bullpen help. Ryan Brasier and Matt Barnes have struggled a little bit as of late, as have a few others. Brandon Workman and Heath Hembree have been reliable but can’t go every night. The Red Sox have also had to rely heavily on players like Colten Brewer, Ryan Weber, Josh Taylor, and Josh Smith.
