Red Sox Spoil Recently Traded Prospect's Major League Debut originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
A former Boston Red Sox pitching prospect had a chance to make them regret trading him.
Shane Drohan made his MLB debut against the Red Sox two months after Boston sent him to the Milwaukee Brewers in a multi-player trade involving Caleb Durbin. The 27-year-old couldn't cap off the ultimate Revenge Game.
Drohan started strong by tossing two scoreless frames at Fenway Park. He fittingly recorded his first career strikeout against Durbin, whose struggles continued with another hitless game.
However, the wheels fell off for Drohan in the third. Boston chased the southpaw out of the game by scoring three runs in a lengthy third inning.
Drohan finished the Wednesday matinee with three hits, four walks and three runs allowed over 2 2/3 frames. The Red Sox secured their first back-to-back wins of the season with a 5-0 victory behind 6 1/3 scoreless frames from Sonny Gray.
After permitting just one baserunner through two innings, Drohan lost command in the third. He walked Andruw Monasterio -- acquired from Milwaukee in the same trade -- with the bases loaded before Wilyer Abreu drove in a run on an infield single and Trevor Story hit a sacrifice fly.
Drohan made his own trouble with three free passes, but the Red Sox also beat him with small ball. Isiah Kiner-Falefa reached base on a bunt following Ceddanne Rafaela's leadoff single.
Four of six players in February's Red Sox/Brewers trade played on Wednesday. David Hamilton has a .485 on-base percentage after going 1-for-3 as the starting second baseman.
The Red Sox will move to their fourth interleague series of the season when playing three games against the St. Louis Cardinals. Dustin May, who finished the 2025 season in Boston, is scheduled to start for St. Louis on Friday.
