BOSTON -- Persistence and patience are finally paying off for Red Sox reliever Brandon Workman, who is contributing to one of the best bullpens in the game after two years away from the big league club.
The hard-throwing right-hander emerged as a valuable arm in Boston's 'pen as a rookie back in 2013, shining brightest in its title run when he made seven scoreless postseason appearances, including three in the World Series.
Don Baylor, a feared, plate-crowding slugger who won an MVP Award and a World Series during a long playing career, and then went on to manage for nine years, died Monday after a struggle with multiple myeloma.
