Fittingly, his son will start for the Red Sox this morning against the Twins (10:10 a.m., BSN) at Fenway Park on Patriots Day, the day the Boston Marathon is run.
Rich Hill, 42, is pitching for his hometown team again. He's been with the Red Sox four different times during his amazing major league journey, which included a stint with the Twins in 2020.
In 18 big league seasons, the lefthander (0-0, 6.23) has pitched for 11 different teams.
Dylan Bundy (1-0, 0.00 ERA) will start for the Twins.
After beating Boston on Friday, the Twins have lost twice and have the lowest batting average in the American League.
