Red Sox closer Joel Hanrahan left Monday's game with tightness in his right forearm, but he remained in the game long enough to throw a pitch through the backstop:

The batter, Brian Dozier of the Twins, apparently didn't like having a 95 mph fastball thrown near his head. A few pitches later he swatted a game-tying solo homer over the Green Monster in left field. The Red Sox went on to win 6-5 in extra innings though, so in the end Dozier, the Twins and the backstop all lost.
