Hanrahan Gets Call For Red Sox Over Bailey
Joel Hanrahan closed out the Boston Red Sox's 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night, getting the call over Andrew Bailey.
Hanrahan had his fourth save in five chances and the 100th save of his career.
He got the call in the ninth because regular closer Andrew Bailey was unavailable.
"He's felt some discomfort in the biceps," John Farrell said of Bailey. "He got on the mound a little bit before the game yesterday and felt the discomfort. It was still there today so he was unavailable."
Bailey said he first felt sore after pitching an inning against the Astros on Sunday, but described the pain as "very minor, nothing crazy."
"We're just being very cautious with it," Bailey said. "Shouldn't be more than a couple of days. We're just letting it die down."
