Daniel Bard has struggled in three straight relief appearances at Triple-A Pawtucket. Bard blew two straight saves last week and on Sunday walked three and threw a wild pitch over 1 2/3 frames. "He's just got to throw. He did a nice job for five out, you put that in perspective," PawSox manager Arnie Beyeler said. "Then he just kind of lost command. Hey, five is better than one or two or zero. We'll just keep building off that, keep throwing him out there. He's getting better." It doesn't appear that Bard is close to joining the Red Sox bullpen.
