Mike Napoli ties Angels record
Postseason HBPs of note: October 11, 2009
Mike Napoli was the only batter hit by a pitch in Sunday's Division Series action. He got hit by Clay Buchholz, bringing his career postseason total to 3 - which ties him with Bengie Molina and Bobby Grich for the most postseason plunks in Angels team history. And, since the Angels finished off the Red Sox, he'll have at least 4 more games to take sole possession of the record, against the team who led the AL in plunks thrown in the 2009 regular season.
Buchholz became the 40th pitcher in Red Sox history to hit a batter in the post season, dating back to October 3, 1903 when Cy Young was the first Sox pitcher to plunk someone in the World Series.
