 In the bottom of the second inning, Masterson struck out Josh Reddick swinging before a wild pitch allowed Reddick to reach first base on the play.Then, Masterson proceeded to strike out Jason Varitek, Marco Scutaro and Jacoby Ellsbury in succession to end the inning, making him one of 68 pitchers in Major League history to strike out four batters in a single inning.Following the end of the season Masterson underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder.
