VICENTE PADILLA RUMORS
Vicente Padilla, Andrew Miller Continue to Shine as Unsung Heroes of Red Sox Bullpen
The Red Sox may be losing depth in the outfield, but they're locked and loaded in the bullpen. Amid Clay Buchholz' shaky outing –– he only lasted 5 1/3 innings –– the bullpen shined by outdueling the Orioles bullpen en route to a 8-6 win. The unsung heroes of the group this time around were Andrew Miller and Vicente Padilla. With little warm-up time, Miller took the...

Vicente Padilla's 'Eephus' Pitch Going Strong With Red Sox, Even After Unorthodox Evolution
