Connelly Early Ties Red Sox Record During MLB Debut vs A's
Connelly Early matched the Red Sox debut strikeout record with 11 in five innings, securing a 6-0 win after being called up due to an injury in the pitching rotation.
- Connelly Early made his major league debut Tuesday, striking out 11 in five shutout innings as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Oakland Athletics 6-0 to close on the AL wild-card race.
- Called up earlier the same day from Triple-A Worcester, Early started after Dustin May was placed on the injured list with right elbow neuritis, filling a rotation vacancy.
- Early showed command, throwing 61 of 90 pitches for strikes while retiring his first eight batters, striking out the side in the second, and fanning Darell Hernaiz and Lawrence Butler in a bases-loaded jam.
- Early's debut immediately placed him in rare company since 2000 as one of five pitchers with at least 10 strikeouts and no runs allowed, earning a standing ovation with Early's family present.
- As a 2023 fifth-round pick and top Boston prospect, Connelly Early posted strong minor-league numbers this year, including a 3-1 record with a 2.83 ERA at Triple-A Worcester and a 7-2 mark with a 2.51 ERA at Double-A Portland.
