Phillies' Andrew Painter bounces back, pulled early in loss to Red Sox

BOSTON — Andrew Painter struck out the side in the fifth, then jogged down the visiting dugout steps at Fenway Park. There he fist-bumped one of his coaches, but there were no handshakes or high-fives just yet.Then, interim manager Don Mattingly spoke to him. The rookie starter, sitting at 62 pitches through five innings, was done on a Wednesday night that ended in a 3-1 Philadelphia Phillies loss.It was an easy conversation, Mattingly said. Painter did not fight him.Advertisement
