Tazawa was unavailable to pitch Friday night but can on Saturday

The Red Sox wished they could have used right-handed reliever Junichi Tazawa Friday night.
They sure could have used him.
Manager John Farrell wanted to use Tazawa in the eighth inning to face right-handed hitting rookie phenom Carlos Correa with the game tied, but he had to go with left-hander Craig Breslow instead and the southpaw gave up a go-ahead solo home run. The Red Sox did tie the game back up in the bottom of the eighth but when the game went into extras, Farrell again had to go with a different reliever, Noe Ramirez, who was making his major-league debut.
