Former Bowie High School standout and current Boston Red Sox pitcher Brandon Workman will make his next start at 6:15 p.m. on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
So, who’s opposing Workman in the game?
None other than St. Louis ace Adam Wainwright.
Workman has struggled in recent starts in the major leagues, dropping all four of his past starts.
On the positive side, opposing batters have only produced a .223 batting average against Workman this season.
This will mark Workman’s second start since being recalled by the Red Sox last week when the team traded starting pitchers Jon Lester, John Lackey and Felix Doubront.
Overall, Workman is 1-4 with a 4.08 earned-run average this season. In 57-1/3 innings of work, he’s allowed 31 runs (26 earned) on 47 hits while striking out 49 and walking 15.
Wainwright has been chased from two of his past three starts, uncharacteristic. Adam has a record of 13-6 with a 2.26 earned-run average in 22 starts. He has recorded two shutouts and three complete games. Opponents are hitting .213.
Workman is part of a new Red Sox rotation with Clay Buchholz, Rubby De La Rosa, Allen Webster and recent acquisition Joe Kelly, formerly of the St. Louis Cardinals.

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.
