Moreland homers, Red Sox avoid sweep
- May 23, 2017
Pinder put his head down after selling out on the fastball and connecting on the no-doubter, so he never saw it land until watching the replay. His phone was already flooded with messages from friends and family. This decision by itself doesn't mean much, but if he made a similar call, say, in October, then that's when fans will really be cursing. Former A's pitcher Drew Pomeranz started the game, but he was done after four innings thanks to a pitch count that reached 97. (more...)
