Josh Roenicke allowed 2 hits and no runs in 1 inning and picked up the save.

Here is what Bailey had to say about his outing:

Early on, the first time through the lineup, the first inning and a half, getting ahead of hitters with fastballs. And they started seeing I was throwing a fastball for strike so they hit it, then I got guys on base and started throwing curveballs on first pitch and only threw one or two for balls. The one Manny hit, he flew out to left field, was a changeup he was out in front of. The one Drew smoked to Votto (for an out) was a changeup he was out in front of. One of the strikeouts was on a changeup. That’s another positive you can take out of it.

If you want to go to the negative side, I had bases loaded one out, get a strikeout, and the next pitch, me being the stubborn ass I am, I shake off Bako for a curveball that he hits up the middle to score two. I guess I was wrong on that one. Bako called for a fastball, it was a good pitch, but (Red Sox catcher Kevin Cash) is a good hitter and he hit it up the middle.

Matt Maloney will pitch in Thursdays game against the Yankees.
