That would be Josh Papelbon of the NY-Penn League Lowell Spinners, 3-1 winners over Oneonta at Fenway Saturday afternoon. Pawtucket beat Rochester, 5-4, in the nightcap, a two-run HR by Carlos Pena being the decisive blow.
As for the elder Papelbon….they couldn’t quite get the ball to him.
There’s a third Papelbon, Josh’s left-handed twin brother (also a pitcher). I think the Cubs drafted him.
cool. I look forward to reading about his chronic injuries in a couple of years.
