American baseball infielder, currently with the Boston Red Sox
Arizona pitcher has an immaculate inning, striking out three batters on nine pitches, topping 102.6 mph. It follows his return from Tommy John surgery and marks another standout performance after eight scoreless outings.
The Red Sox have secured an American League wild-card berth after a 5-1 loss by Boston and a Houston loss to Atlanta. A season started with turmoil after April firings but turned around under interim manager Chad Tracy. Boston now faces a likely rematch with the Yankees in the AL Wild Card series at Yankee Stadium.
