    The Boston Red Sox Monday, May 14, 2018 * The Boston Globe The bullpen bailed out Drew Pomeranz, and the Red Sox won the series Peter Abraham TORONTO — Red Sox manager Alex Cora knew before Sunday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays that he would not have Craig Kimbrel and Carson Smith available out of the bullpen. Kimbrel had pitched in three of the previous four games, Smith in five of the last six. And the Sox don’t have a scheduled day off until May 21. What was a small problem became a big one when starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz couldn’t get an out in the fifth inning and was pulled after 103 extra-tedious pitches. The Sox had a one-run lead and limited means to protect it. “You find a way,” said Matt Barnes, one of the relievers who helped the Red Sox close out a 5-3 victory. “That’s really it. You find a way.” Hector Velazquez, Barnes, Heath Hembree, and Joe Kelly combined for five shutout innings as the Sox finished 6-4 on their 11-day road trip, winning three of the last four. For Cora, it was a game he will remember. “Managing at the big league level, it’s not that easy, because there are certain days that there’s nothing you can do,” he said. “You want to match up, and you have to trust your guys.” The Sox return home tied with the Yankees atop the division but well positioned to make a move. Starting Monday, they play 19 of their next 26 games at Fenway Park.

  • The Boston Red Sox Saturday, June 22, 2019 * the Boston Globe
    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, June 22, 2019 * The Boston Globe A familiar name made his own path to the big leagues Peter Abraham Mike — forget his last name for now — had a chance to sign for $300,000 after his junior year at Vanderbilt but turned down the Seattle Mariners because he promised his mother Anne-Marie back home in Andover that he would get his degree. He got that degree and was named first-team All-SEC and third-team All-American as a senior. The Orioles drafted him and this time he signed. Mike rose quickly in the organization, getting to Triple A in 2016. But he never could quite break through and was traded to the Giants at the end of spring training this season. Finally, after 703 minor league games, Mike was called up to the majors May 25 at the age of 28. That’s old for a rookie but not too old to achieve a lifelong dream. With his mother and wife watching from the stands at Oracle Park, Mike scored his first run that night and had three hits the next day. He has been in the lineup almost every day since and hit well. “At some point I just wanted to get there even for one day just to say I did it,” Mike said. “That was the goal, just one day. My wife was my biggest supporter. My mom was, too. This has been a big thing for my family.” It’s a heck of a story, one of persistence in the face of obstacles.
