BVB allowed 2 runs in the 1st & 3 in the 2nd, but at least settled down after that & gave the bullpen a chance to chill a bit in game 1 of the doubleheader.

Cody Scroggins came in after & is in the process of getting lit up.

BTW Nathan Hickey got his 1st start at 1B since college in game 1 today. In '21 with the University of Florida he played 4 games at 1B, 5 games at 3B & 40 games at catcher.

Prior to today, this season he had 9 starts at DH & 5 at catcher, & every appearance in the field for Hickey in the Red Sox org had been at catcher.

For game 2 he's swapping with Niko Kavadas, who played DH in game 1.

Grissom went 2-for-4 with a SB in the nightcap, a 4-3 loss. Bring him up, quick!
Good segue. Ended up going to a professional lacrosse game with the kids last night & am officially behind.

Worcester lost game two 4-3.

Some precautionary words on Grissom... the 2 singles had EVs of 75 & 56 mph, & the steal was part of a double steal where Eddy Alvarez stole 3rd, but definitely a good sign overall....& those were Worcester's only 2 hits of the game.

But that swing is really elongated & doesn't fill me with optimism.

Hayden Mullins had a solid 1st 4 innings when he allowed 1 run, but he came out for the 5th & ended up allowing 2 more runs with the help of some questionable defense & questionable relief pitching.
