Fireballing Bard's promotion comes quick

Daniel Bard may have made the last minor league appearance of his career Wednesday in Pawtucket, R.I., and the reason is self-evident. He faced five batters over the final four outs of the game. One hit a double. The other four struck out. Bard's pitching arsenal revolves around his 100-mile-per-hour fastball, and the whole package bordered on unfair at Triple A. He faced 58 batters in 16 innings this season. (Boston Globe)
