The Red Sox’s bullpen has been coming up clutch for Boston to start the 2019 season, and the stats certainly prove that notion.

In 20 1/3 innings pitched, the combination of Matt Barnes, Brandon Workman, Ryan Braiser, Marcus Walden and Heath Hembree have allowed just four runs when Boston leads after eight innings. The five relievers combined for a 1.77 ERA in that timeframe, striking out 26 batters and allowing just 14 hits along the way.

Check the stats in the “Red Sox Gameday Live” video above, presented by DCU.
