Former Bowie High School pitcher Brandon Workman has found his groove again, as the Pawtucket Red Sox defeated the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs 5-1 on Thursday at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, Pa.
Workman yielded just one earned run, one walk and five hits in six innings of work.
This means Workman has won all three of his starts since returning to the Boston Red Sox’ Triple-A franchise.
Workman (6-1) lowered his minor-league earned-run average to 4.45.
Overall this season for Pawtucket, Workman has allowed 27 earned runs and 58 hits in 54-2/3 innings of work through 10 starts. He’s struck out 49, walked 15, and surrendered nine home runs.
In the game last night, Pawtucket’s offense helped Workman by scoring two runs in the first inning. The PawSox added one run in the sixth and two more in the seventh.
The Major League Baseball trade deadline is next Thursday, July 31. There’s the possibility the Red Sox might trade starter Jake Peavy, who has been ineffective for Boston this season.
If Peavy is traded, there’s a chance Workman could be called back to the Red Sox next week. As for now, it’s unclear whether his next start will be for Pawtucket or Boston.
Workman is a 2007 graduate of Bowie High School.
