[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Red Sox's 38-year-old fireball stopper Aroldis Chapman successfully closed the door today, helping the team defeat the Orioles 3:1. He received his 33rd rescue success this season. He also reached the milestone of 400 rescue successes in his career, becoming the 9th person in history.

Red Sox 23-year-old left-hand pitcher Payton Tolle gave a high-quality start today, allowing 1 run in 6 innings, and showed off his K skills with 12 strikeouts. Eli White White hit a 3-pointer in the second inning to support Chapman in the ninth inning. Although he was hit by Alonso and made a wild pitch to score the ball, he still soared 2K in a row, and the last ball soared 101 miles (about 162.5 kilometers). The Red Sox won 3:1 in the end, sweeping the Orioles in 4 consecutive games. Toler won his 9th win of the season.

Chapman not only reached the milestone of 400 saves in his career this year, ranking ninth in history, but he is also the first Cuban pitcher to reach at least 30 saves in a single season in 10 seasons in the major leagues. Chapman admitted in an interview that this record is particularly meaningful to him because he lost his position as a closer a few years ago and once again served as a closer after coming to the Red Sox. Reaching this record was one of his career goals. There was a time before when he even thought he might not be able to achieve it.

Open Questions

  • Can Chapman maintain his current form as a closer?
  • Will the Red Sox continue to rely on Chapman as their closer?
