For once, a multi-day post comes from a relative lack of games!

Pawtucket Game 1 L 0-3 (In 7)
Both Banuelos and Betances put on shows against the Sox today, but Banuelos was better with this one hitter:
Che Hsuan Lin: 0-3, K
Ryan Lavarnway: 0-1, BB, K
Will Middlebrooks: 0-2, E
Luis Exposito: 0-2, K
Jose Iglesias: 1-2, E
-And Jose had the one hit. Go figure.
Felix Doubront: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
Pawtucket Game 2 W 2-0 (In 7)
Che-Hsuan Lin: 0-2, BB, 2 K, SB, A
Ryan Lavarnway: 1-3, HR, K
-That Lavarnway had one of Betances' two hits, and it was a homer, is less surprising.
Lars Anderson: 0-3, 2 K
Will Middlebrooks: 0-2, BB, K, CS
Jose Iglesias: 0-2, BB
Alex Wilson: 5 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 9 K
-Wow. That's one hell of a line for his third start in Triple-A. Was strong in his first outing too.
Junichi Tazawa: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
-Weird that he only went the one inning after a 5-day layoff. Irene effect keeping him out that long, maybe?
Portland W 4-2
Alex Hassan: 2-4
Oscar Tejeda: 1-3, BB
Reynaldo Rodriguez: 0-3, BB, K, POCS
Jeremy Hazelbaker: 2-4, 2B, K, SB
