In wake of the bullpen-eating, extra innings affair at the Ballpark in Arlington, TX on Friday night, the Sox have called-up now reliever Michael Bowden from the Pawtucket Red Sox. Bowden was a starting pitcher until recently when the Sox decided to convert him into a bullpen guy to help the big club. In 3 games with the Sox this season, Bowden has not allowed a run on 3 hits in 2.1 innings, all three appearances coming out of the bullpen. Bowden is 6-3 with the Pawtucket Red Sox this season, starting 16 games and coming out of the bullpen for 12 appearances. Bowden has 1 save for Pawtucket this season with a 3.62 era. No word yet on the corresponding move to free up the roster spot for Bowden.
