Red Sox relief pitcher Tommy Layne warmed up while his team was down 4-0 to the Athletics in the bottom of the eighth inning on Sunday.
He entered the game in the ninth with a 7-4 lead and a save opportunity. Layne capitalized on that opportunity by striking out two batters en route to his first save of the season.
Layne has a 2.50 ERA in 18 innings this season.
