Pomeranz pitches well vs former team, but Padres edge Boston
If you had just tuned into the game on the radio and didn’t know where it was being played you would have bet hard money that you were hearing a feed from Fenway Park. The AL East-leading Blue Jays (77-60) started the day one game ahead of Boston. Price is 5-0 with a 2.06 ERA in his last five starts for the Red Sox, who pulled into a first-place tie with Toronto atop the American League East with Tuesday’s 5-1 victory.Boston’s starting pitchers improved to 15-8 with a 3.06 ERA since August 1 after Clay Buchholz allowed one run over 6 2/3 innings in Tuesday’s win, but rookie third baseman Yoan Moncada is having a series to forget.

Buchholz allowed only one run on eight hits with no walks and six strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings and 87 pitches.
“Because of how he’s been used, Clay might be fresher at this point of the season more than at any other time in his career”, Red Sox manager John Farrell said Monday. No walks again tonight. San Diego activated OF Jon Jay (forearm) from the disabled list.3. Farrell said INF Travis Shaw will likely get a start in left field on Wednesday.
“I was staying on the fastball”, said Rosales.
Added Buchholz: “Good times, bad times, I still feel like I can pitch and I can help this team out. Even when I made some good pitches when I was behind, they still hit it”. TV: 9:10 p.m. ET, NESN (Boston), FSN San DiegoPITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH David Price (14-8, 3.92 ERA) vs. Padres RH Jarred Cosart (0-2, 5.14) Price turned in another strong outing Friday, yielding two runs while striking out seven over seven innings in a 16-2 win over Oakland. Remarkably, in the third, he retired Ortiz and Betts on grounders to third base to start off the inning and then never got another out.
ORIOLES 7, RAYS 3: In Florida, Ubaldo Jimenez threw a two-hitter for his first complete game since 2011.
Hanley Ramirez had three hits for Boston.
The underappreciated Chris Young, starting in left field, followed two pitches later with a liner that skipped off the top of left-field wall into the seats – the ideal bank shot.
“I think it’s mental”, he said. For him after maybe going through the news the first time, he’s taking it in the right way and has worked to get better. But luckily it sneaked out. He went deep as a pinch hitter in Monday’s eighth inning as well, mixing in a double in yesterday’s second inning.
Bogaerts crossed the plate on Ramirez’s single for the 4-1 lead before San Diego had to go to their bullpen for some relief for their starter.
The Sox offense broke its silence, and Clay Buchholz gave them an easy start to support.
The Sox looked to be on their way to more RISPy problems – troubles with runners in scoring position.
– Yoan Moncada wore the golden sombrero Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts.
With no further clarification in regards to Steven Wright’s recovery, and just 24 games left in the regular season, Buchholz is a virtual lock to remain in the starting rotation the rest of the way.

“That’s where I envisioned myself being, but it was a numbers game, and whenever that all came up (when I was moved to the ‘pen), I felt like I was the odd man out because of performance and the numbers”, Buchholz said of the rotation. “I have to look at it that way”. I’ve tried to work on the things I’ve needed to work on to get back moving forward. Everybody has sort of caught onto it. “Whenever my name is called I try to go out and give our team the best chance that I can to win, and I’m feeling good right now”.
