Despite the Boston Red Sox losing to the Chicago White Sox, Chris Murphy made history by becoming the first pitcher to throw two-plus scoreless innings in each of his first three appearances in the big leagues. Murphy has not allowed a single run over eight innings pitched with the Red Sox while walking only one and recording 11 strikeouts. The left-handed reliever struggled as a starter with Triple-A Worcester before converting into a reliever, but his consistent and superb outings with the Red Sox should buy him more opportunities in the big leagues.
Chris Murphy has been performing well in his new relief role for the Red Sox, with five appearances out of the bullpen since June 1, allowing two unearned runs on nine hits over 13 innings with two walks and 17 strikeouts. Murphy's fastball has been playing well, and he has been more efficient, throwing a lot of strikes and repeating his delivery. Although he was optioned back to the minors after Sunday's game, Murphy will likely get more opportunities with the Red Sox as a valuable left-handed pitcher who can work multiple innings.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) expressed concern that there may not be enough Republican support to pass the debt deal reached by the White House and House Republican negotiators.

The bill needs to be passed by both chambers of Congress before June 5 to prevent default, but Murphy is worried about the speed with which it can be sent back to the president.
