Mariners reliever Matt Brash has made a habit of making batters look foolish. Last week, he almost made Twins utilityman Willi Castro fall down with a curveball in the dirt. On Monday night, he made Red Sox infielder Yu Chang his latest victim.
Brash worked a one-two-three seventh inning, throwing just 13 pitches in the process. The filthiest of those pitches was the second one he threw to Chang. Ahead in the count 0–1 after dropping a slider in the top of the zone, Brash went back to the slider again and Chang could only muster a feeble wave at it.
