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.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).

The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.

Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.

The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.

It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.

The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.

Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
