Bowden done after 5
New reliever Richie Lentz is on for the si%th inning, meaning Michael Bowden is done for the night.
Bowden retired the first si% batters he faced. He ended up allowing 1 run on 5 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 8 ... He threw 83 pitches (53 strikes).
If Bowden stays on rotation, he would pitch again July 14 in New Britain. But it's likely that Bowden will be skipped in the rotation as the Red So% begin to reduce his workload.
Bowden will appear at the Eastern League All-Star Game July 16, but there is no guarantee he'll pitch.
The guess? His ne%t regular season start will be for Pawtucket.
