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.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
