Franklin Morales was seen warming up

Alfredo Aceves' knack for the unexpected is rivaled only by his knack for good pitching in a pinch.

Those qualities were on display Tuesday, when Aceves delivered five stellar innings in a 5-1 Red Sox win over Tampa Bay in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.

Aceves allowed three hits and three walks in the 75-pitch outing. He would have pitched the sixth and possibly beyond, but a 2-hour, 59-minute rain delay ended his start after five.

Aceves was called up from Pawtucket as the 26th rostered player, as allowed by Major League rules for doubleheaders. He has won three straight spot starts, indicating his ability to operate in the type of unstructured climate that bothers other pitchers.

Unstructured is what Aceves is all about. As long as his unusual attitude is displayed positively – and does not become the distraction it has been at times in the past – the Sox will let Alfredo be Alfredo.

"I don't want to say he can pitch on the fly, but he's shown that ability,'' Boston manager John Farrell said.

"He and (catcher) Jarrod Saltalamacchia are on a pretty good wavelength. There was not a lot of shaking off by Alfredo.''

Aceves got caught in traffic before the game, and Franklin Morales was seen warming up. Farrell said afterward the team was in contact with Aceves, who arrived later than usual but in plenty of time.

He said Aceves was aware he was pitching the first game, and arrived in time to get warm.

"Alfredo never makes it a habit of arriving early, anyway,'' Farrell said.

Four relievers finished up. Jacoby Ellsbury missed a cycle for lack of a home run, and David Ortiz drove in three runs for the Red Sox.

A Norfolk 911 dispatcher is in hot water for a comment she posted on Facebook.

Dispatcher Jessica Camarillo posted a comment on Facebook concerning the police-involved shooting of Joshua Omar Johnson, who was gunned down at a Wells Fargo after trying to pass a bad check and then reportedly hitting an officer with his car.

In a comment posted to the Facebook page of former Norfolk Police Officer Terry Busby on May 21, Camarillo wrote Johnson’s family should pay for the inconvenience of police.

"I think the officers should sue [Johnson's] family for putting the officers lives in danger, making detectives work past the time they were suppose to get off, the gas it took for them to get to the scene, the bullets used, the hospital bills, the equipment needed for forensics, and making me work the channel instead of reading my hot sexy book...lol"

"Our tremendous concern is that a 911 dispatcher is holding that type of sentiment against citizens,” said Johnson's friend Michael Muhammad. “Taking that type of judgment to a public forum like Facebook is very dangerous."

There's a lot of discussion on the Omar Johnson shooting, but Carmarillo’s comment has outraged those close to him like Muhammad.

"To say that his family should be sued for the bullets that it took to kill him, and that this call disturbed you from your hot sexy novel, then this is behavior that can not be tolerated,” Muhammad said. “It shows tremendous lack of consideration for human life for the families to hear that, and for our tax dollars that pay her salary to get this inconsideration."

Last Tuesday, the Facebook post became very public when Johnson’s family and friends gathered at Norfolk City Hall and told council members about the comment.

"If you have this feeling in your heart for these people, what would you do if these people called you for help?", said a Johnson family friend, Diane Hayes.

went to her home and drove to the 911 call center at the Norfolk Police Operations Center. She was not working at the center at the time and did not respond to any of our requests for comment.

"We have a business conduct policy that dictates all employees will represent the City well, whether at work or at home,” she wrote.

When asked if Camarillo’s Facebook post was an example of representing the City well, Crouch replied, “I can't answer that. This is a personnel issue."

"If the city of Norfolk will allow a person like this to remain in their employment, then I think the citizens need to take a look at who we allow to run our City government,” Muhammad said.

"It actually made me sick to my stomach," said Hayes, who called Camarillo extremely unprofessional. "She did not think we would read it, and it hurts. It hurts. She's a dispatcher for  911. She is our first point of contact in an emergency...sometimes you can tell the ethnicity in the voice...if she hears me, she might throw me on the back burner."

“The City of Norfolk expects its employees to follow the business conduct policy," she wrote. "It includes employees use good judgment, behave responsibly, display appropriate workforce behavior, and demonstrate the values of accountability, innovation, integrity and respect."
