The Boston Red Sox optioned Brandon Workman back to Pawtucket (R.I.) after his loss to Seattle on Saturday.
Workman, a 2007 graduate of Bowie High School, surrendered a career-high seven runs to the Seattle Mariners during the fourth inning alone in a 7-3 loss on Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park.
In all, Workman has lost eight straight major league baseball games.
“It was really just not executing pitches,” Workman said to Boston Globe reporter Julian Benbow after the loss. “The ball was up all day for me, and you can’t pitch like that. You can’t pitch everything belt-high. That’s what I did, and they took advantage of it.”
The Mariners batted around during the fourth, capped by Dustin Ackley’s three-run home run.
Workman had been coming off his best start in two months, allowing two runs on six hits to the Los Angeles Angels. Due to a lack of run support, he still took the loss.
Sixty of the 84 pitches Workman threw on Saturday were strikes, but that faulty fourth inning proved to be his demise.
Workman set down the Mariners in order in the third inning. Yoenis Cespedes recorded an important outfield assist in the second, throwing out Kyle Seager at home plate. He struck out Robinson Cano in the opening frame.

After a tough loss to open District 10-A volleyball play, Bellevue’s squad used the two-day break to refocus its efforts. The break worked as the Lady Eagles evened its record at 1-1 with a 3-0 win over visiting Midway Sept. 24 (25-17, 25-22, 25-20).

Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey said working on game scenarios in practice has begun to pay off. Keeping focus was key to the victory as well.

“I think our key tonight was our mindset and just staying together,” Hickey said. “Letting mistakes go and focusing on the next play. We’ve been working on scenarios in practice and being intentional with each possession and attacking the ball more. I think we did tonight.” The Falcons played gutsy all night long, staying in each game after Bellevue had taken a good lead but the Lady Eagles, playing before a large crowd, held their own.
