Red Sox minor lines: Springtime for Salem

Because there are only four more days to make that reference.

6/15

Pawtucket L 1-2

Box Score

Jackie Bradley Jr.: 0-4, K
Ryan Lavarnway: 0-2, BB, K
Bryce Brentz: 0-3, K
Xander Bogaerts: 0-3, 3 K
Jeremy Hazelbaker: 0-3, 3 K

Brandon Workman: 6.1 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 9 K, 1 HR

From a decent debut to an excellent game two, Workman's addition is really making Pawtucket's rotation over-the-top good.

Oh, right, and I guess Ranaudo will be up soonish. That won't be silly at all.

Portland L 2-6

Box Score

Michael Almanzar: 2-3, 3B, BB
Travis Shaw: 1-4, HR, 2 K
Kolbrin Vitek: 1-4, 2B, K

Salem W 9-2

Box Score

Deven Marrero: 1-4, BB, K, SB
Garin Cecchini: 2-4, 2 2B, BB
Keury De La Cruz: 1-4, 2B, K
Brandon Jacobs: 1-3, BB, K, SB
Blake Swihart: 2-4, 2B, HR, 2 K
Henry Ramos: 1-3, K

Mike Augliera: 5.1 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 2 HR

After not giving up a homer in his first four games, Augliera has given up seven in his last six. Which is odd for a guy who induces so many ground balls.

Greenville L 2-7

Box Score

Mookie Betts: 1-4
Jose Vinicio: 1-3, BB, K, E
Cody Koback: 0-4, K

Justin Haley: 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
Yunior Ortega: 3 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HR

6/16

Pawtucket W 5-3

Box Score

Jackie Bradley Jr.: 0-3, BB, K
Xander Bogaerts: 0-4, K
Jeremy Hazelbaker: 1-4
Brock Holt: 1-4, K

Oh God, the Xander train has come to a screeching halt! Everybody off! Run! The end times have come! The bandwagon is in flames!

But, yeah, not his best two days ever.

Portland W 7-4

Box Score

Michael Almanzar: 1-3, 2B, BB, 2 K
Travis Shaw: 2-4, 2B, 2 K
Kolbrin Vitek: 1-4, 2 K
Christian Vazquez: 1-4, 2B

Drake Britton: 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K

Michael Almanzar continues to be solid, or exactly the opposite of the Michael Almanzar we came to know during his first years in the system.
