The Return of Clay Buchholz.

Remember the Clay Buchholz who threw a no-hitter in his second start back in 2007? Or the one who posted a 2.33 ERA in 2010? He made an appearance at Fenway Thursday night. Buchholz threw a shutout, lasting 125 pitches as he held the Orioles to four hits. Maybe it was just the Orioles, as this was his third career shutout against them, but over his last three starts he allowed four runs in 24 innings, walking four and striking out 19. That seems to be the pitcher the Red Sox expected to get when he threw that no-hitter about five years ago. Boston salvages the last game of the series with a 7-0 win.
