Hit hard in multi-inning stint Mazza allowed four earned runs on five hits, three walks and a wild pitch over three innings in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. He struck out one.
Impact Mazza has now been banged around significantly in two of his four appearances, as he also surrendered six earned runs over just 2.2 innings during his first trip to the mound against the Red Sox back on April 5. Mazza submitted a pair of scoreless one-inning efforts in between that outing and Wednesday's, but he's clearly less than reliable at the moment. Nevertheless, his ability to work multiple innings could afford him some slack.

Working out of bullpen Mazza tossed a scoreless inning in relief Wednesday in the Red Sox's 8-4 loss to the Marlins. He gave up no hits, issued one walk and struck out a batter in the 18-pitch frame.
Impact Mazza was making his second straight appearance out of the bullpen after previously piggybacking Nathan Eovaldi on Sept. 12 in the latter's first start back from the injured list. As the final week of the regular season looms, only Eovaldi, Martin Perez and Tanner Houck appear to have secure spots in Boston's rotation. Mazza's usage his last two times out suggests he might not be in line to fill either of the two remaining openings in the rotation.
