Jonathan Papelbon yesterday allowed two runs in a minor league game. Here’s what he had to say after the game (via Craig Calcaterra).
“This was exactly what I wanted.”
Well put, sir. The Red Sox closer sure is getting his work in this spring. In five innings he’s allowed seven earned runs on two homers with five walks and three strikeouts.
The story with the Yankees closer Mariano Rivera is a little different: 4 IP, H, 0 ER, 5 K’s. Just sayin’.
