Bennett Shines on Nine Days Rest
24 Aug
Summary
- Bennett pitched seven innings, allowing four runs.
- An exceptional catch by Rafaela prevented more runs.
- The pitcher was on nine days rest after poor outings.
Jake Bennett showcased resilience on Sunday, pitching seven innings and allowing four runs in a victory over the Giants. He conceded two runs in the first inning, but an outstanding defensive play by center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela prevented further scoring. A home run in the second inning added another run, and a subsequent double error led to a Little League home run for Christian Koss, accounting for the final run.
Bennett's effective outing came after a nine-day rest period, following consecutive less-than-stellar performances against the A's and Pirates. This game saw him surpass his career high in innings pitched, prompting the Red Sox to manage his workload carefully for the remainder of the season. The team faces challenges in managing his innings due to their strong postseason-bound position.
