Rest Kimbrel/Hendricks. Have Wright close the 9th. 

I’ll take a 2 run homer this inning please, thank you very much.

Kimbrel for the 9th

I'd rather stick with Ruiz than let Wright close, holy shit. What about Tapera though?

Ruiz has 9 pitches. I'd rather he close this out if nobody else is available. 

To have like 9 guys in the bullpen and having the last 2 guys in the pen throwing high leverage innings in a 1 run game is embarrassing.

Oh great Ruiz is back out there. What are they doing?

Dodged another bullet with Ruizin the dreaded 8th.  But now Wright is warming up for the 9 th..  Where is Tepera and Bummer? 

Ruiz gets the job done!

There was a TON of debate about that here at the time of the deal.

I think most people wanted Benintendi to be the center piece of the deal. It seems like he was the 1 guy Boston wouldn't trade.

Nice job Ruiz!!

Hopefully Wright was warming because Tony didn't want to push Tepera or Bummer beyond 3 outs...

because if it's really Mike Wright for the 9th, holy hell. How didn't they make a roster move before the game to get an actual reliever then?

Robles isn't taking 20 minutes between pitches for once. 

Good job by Ruiz! 

When did Boston get Johnny Cueto?

That’s TLR for you.  If we lose two in a row with Wright closing he should be fired. Yes, I know he won’t but it would be managerial malpractice.

Kimbrel warming up. Thank god.

Kimbrel warming for the 9th. Good thing it's not Mike Wright.

Great news.  It has to be better than Wright.

CK up ugh

Tepera must have COVID or something if he hasn't pitched these last 2 games. 

Jose has a homer off Robles this year. Get him up.

If there was any question about that I think he'd be placed on the COVID list immediately for a variety of reasons. Something else might be up though? very strange.

I love Moncada to death but man it would be nice to see him hit a HR occasionally

He got his pitch there. Just got way under it.

That's all we need, a Covid outbreak on the team.

If you're one of those people who thinks the Bears have a chance to make the playoffs this year, Minnesota just lost at Cincinnati in overtime.
