Justin Slaten - Notches second saveSlaten allowed one hit and zero walks in a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his second save of the season in Sunday's season finale against Tampa Bay.

ImpactSlaten allowed a bunt single to Dylan Carlson to lead off the ninth, but he induced a foul-out and a pair of line-outs to end the game and bring the Red Sox record to a fitting 81-81. With incumbent closer Kenley Jansen on the injured list, Slaten was able to notch his first save since March 31. The 27-year-old Slaten had an encouraging rookie season out of the Red Sox bullpen, pitching to a 2.93 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 58:9 K:BB in 55.1 innings, adding six wins, 13 holds and two saves in six chances. With the 37-year-old Jansen hitting free agency, Slaten could find himself in the mix for saves next season.

Ryan Pepiot - Pulled after 63 pitches in finalePepiot (8-8) took the loss Sunday against Boston, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out five in four innings.

ImpactPepiot ran into trouble in the third inning when an RBI double by Vaughn Grissom drove in the game's first run. An unfortunate throwing error by the Rays defense compounded the damage, allowing another run to score. The Rays played it safe with their prized right-hander in Sunday's meaningless season finale, opting to pull Pepiot after just 63 pitches. Acquired from the Dodgers in the Tyler Glasnow trade last winter, the 27-year-old Pepiot enjoyed a successful inaugural season for the Rays, pitching to a 3.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 142:48 K:BB in 130 innings (26 starts).

Quinn Priester - Notches win in Red Sox debutPriester (3-6) pitched five innings of one-run ball to pick up the win Sunday against the Rays, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out two.

ImpactCalled up Sunday to make his Red Sox debut, Priester held his own to notch his third win of the season. Priester did not allow an extra-base hit, limiting the Rays to just four singles thanks to a robust 12:2 GB:FB. Acquired from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, Priester struggled to a 5.40 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB in 38.1 innings (nine starts) for AAA-Worcester. Sunday's start was a step in the right direction, but Priester likely needs more time to develop in the minor leagues before becoming a major league asset. The 24-year-old owns an ugly 6.23 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 69:41 K:BB in 94.2 career innings (15 starts).
