Keider Montero’s return to Toledo didn’t go well... He couldn’t locate his changeup and slider down in the zone, and the umpire wasn’t giving him any extra room early on. The stuff looked fine, but Montero eventually had to throw fastballs in the zone and Worcester hit them.
The Mud Hens have done a fine job limiting the Red Sox’s top prospects, Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer, so far this week. The duo is hitting a combined 4-of-26 against Toledo, but Anthony drove in a run during the big inning Friday night. His sacrifice fly made it 2-0 after a Corey Rosier RBI single broke the scoreless tie, and Vaughn Grissom doubled Worcester’s lead with a single through the 5-6 hole.
