Richard Fitts got pulled on the 4th inning after 56 innings while pitching fine...

The fact that Luis Guerrero came in for the 4th & stayed in for the 5th makes me feel like it was planned & not a big deal.

Maybe either trying to keep his workload light in a week they are using him for the 2nd time (he pitched on Tuesday) or maybe they need him in Boston soon.

WooSox were facing old friend Max Castillo for the 2nd time this week.

In those 2 games he allowed 13 runs in 6.1 innings. I guess it's pretty clear why they let him go.
