The decision was attributed to the majority of Boston's bullpen being tired, leaving Barraclough to pitch multiple innings despite the outcome.

[32] Barraclough was optioned back to Worcester the next day. [33] On September 24, Barraclough was designated for assignment following the activation of Zack Kelly from the injured list.
