Scott pitched a scoreless third of an inning in Wednesday night's win over the Orioles. He struck out Chris Davis on three pitches before allowing an infield hit to Mark Trumbo.
Scott has not allowed a run in five innings (five K's, one BB, four hits) since being part of Boston's roster expansion this month. The former independent league pitcher has earned the trust of manager John Farrell as evidenced by the manager having him face two of Baltimore's more dangerous hitters Wednesday. The left-handed Scott is positioning himself to be a late-inning southpaw for the postseason if Boston qualifies for the playoffs. He's appeared in three of the last seven games while Fernando Abad has appeared once.
