Red Sox prospect Erik Rivera pitches in Boston uniform for Puerto Rico in exhibition | National Sports

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Red Sox minor league left-hander Erik Rivera pitched in his Boston uniform Tuesday night for Puerto Rico against his major league team in a preseason exhibition.

The Red Sox made some players available to Puerto Rico because that team was short on personnel. One those included Rivera, a Puerto Rico native.
