The Red Sox were not only unable to post a winning record...

Alfredo Aceves' Ability to Lock Down Ninth Inning Makes Him Amica Pitcher of the Week

Alfredo Aceves' ERA is slowly shrinking. The Red Sox closer has turned his season around recently after a dismal start, bringing his ERA down to 4.15.
