Marcus Walden Throws Perfect Inning
5 years agoBoston Red Sox relief pitcher Marcus Walden struck out the side in his ninth inning appearance during an 8-5 loss to Tampa Bay on Wednesday. The right-hander had allowed one run in each of his previous two outings, so he got back on track against Tampa Bay. He registered a save on July 23, just his second of the year so it seems his role is still relegated to middle relief and mop up duty. Eventually Nathan Eovaldi is supposed to assume the closer duties, along with Brandon Workman, so Walden doesn't hold any fantasy value except in league's that value holds.
