“He’s worked really, really hard to get to this point,” Nagy said. “Even today, in that moment as a rookie, coming on in that situation — super calm, super cool. Even after the interception, when (Wilson) dropped in the zero look and made the play, he was very cool coming out there and trying to make a play.
Effectively harnessing his stuff continued to elude Maples, however, culminating in his being designated for assignment before Sunday’s victory. Aside from two stints on the injured list, Maples, 29, spent the whole season in the majors.

So we pretty much buckled in on that this whole week to get ready for Sunday.”
“We haven’t clinched yet, so everyone knows there’s a lot at stake here,” Sox starter Lance Lynn said. “We’ve got to play good baseball down the stretch. We’re in a good, comfortable lead (in the division), but it would be nice to clinch here soon so we can line things up the way we need to at the end.
“It was really cool,” Steele said. “I really enjoyed hitting my whole entire life, really loved it growing up, high school and stuff. Getting a hit in the big leagues was a thing I wanted to accomplish. If they get rid of the DH next year, I can always say I’ve got a big-league hit, so I was really excited.”
