Gagne not forgotten: Though Eric Gagne did not play a role in the heroics of the bullpen during Friday's win, Francona said it was not a sign that he doesn't have faith in the right-hander.
How does Gagne fit in right now?
"Well, depending on where we are, same role [as in the season]," said Francona. "We got [to the bullpen] early, we had guys lined up. Sometimes the order, I think, can be a little bit misleading if you don't ask me. Someone said something about not having confidence in him. Sometimes there's some things that lead into that. We're not going to shy away from pitching him."
Incidentally, if Friday's game had gone into extra innings, Mike Timlin would have pitched the 10th, followed by Gagne and Jon Lester.
