Tolle will get the ball against the Mariners on Father’s Day. He shares a close bond with his father, Chad.

“My first time pitching in Triple-A, he was there, and then obviously with the (major league) debut, he was there, too,” Payton told MLB.com. “Like if he could find a flight, and I called him right now, he would be here tonight. He’s always ready to be there for me.”

Tolle recalled when his dad once drove five hours from the family home in Oklahoma to Kansas City just to spend 15 minutes with his son, who wasn’t even pitching in a series against the Royals.

“Yeah, it was pretty special. I just couldn’t thank him enough,” Tolle said.

Payton said Chad’s mother died when Chad was a teenager, so Chad understands what his sons are going through.

“It was definitely a really hard experience for all of us,” Payton told MLB.com. “We were all going through it together. It was difficult, but we had each other.”

Tolle will look to help the Sox sweep the Mariners in Seattle.
