Bogaerts scored on Ramirez’s line drive to left to make it 4-1. Hand immediately gave up a double to pinch-hitter Aaron Hill but worked his way out of the jam in unusual fashion. “We have a really good club, and everybody knows if they go out and do their little part of whatever it is, we have a good chance to win”. He has been on the Red Sox disabled list since August 25. “He’s been invaluable”, manager John Farrell told reporters.
The Padres lost game two against the Red Sox with a score of 5-1. Jay missed 66 games.
Red Sox: RHP Clay Buchholz (5-10, 5.20) gets the nod for the middle game of the three-game series.
Clay Buchholz was largely effective in Tuesday’s win over the Padres, allowing one run on eight hits over 6 2/3 innings. “One pitch and it’s a different game”. Price has a five-start winning streak and has allowed but eight runs in 35 innings over that span. As a starter during that stretch he has a 2.31 ERA in four outings. The Padres are 38-21 when scoring first.3. “He’s at 94-95 (mph) in the first three innings then it’s 86-91 in the fourth and fifth”.

The early innings had seen the Red Sox at least produce some threats, if not cash in on any of them. The Rays said X-rays on Longoria’s hand were negative.

Sandy Leon led off the fourth inning with a bunt single and Bradley homered in the next at-bat.
Thanks to some heads-up base running from Betts, he was able to put himself 90-feet from home before Ramirez stole second. But a pop-out spared him any damage there, and he followed it up with a 1-2-3 second. The Reds put a runner on third with nobody out on two occasions, and Colon wiggled out of the jam each time.
The 6.2 innings the righty went was the longest he had gone in a game since May 4th.
Pomeranz made one big mistake over his six innings of work, which Adam Rosales took care of with a two-run homer, accounting for all the runs the Padres would need.
Fernando Abad came in for relief of Barnes in the eighth and retired the San Diego side in order with a strikeout, ground out and fly out.
Bettis (12-7) was flawless until Eduardo Nunez singled with two outs in the fifth inning. He struck out three and walked three in dropping his third straight start.
San Francisco intentionally walked Nolan Arenado to face Gonzalez in the third.
Because he had two more years of control beyond this breakout season. He has a 3.00 ERA since the All-Star break.
In the seventh after giving up back-to-back singles, Buchholz answered back with back-to-back strikeouts. The Padres will counter with Jared Cosart (0-2, 5.14 ERA).

Neither team scored in the first three innings or in the last four. He hardly needed to be sharp as the Cardinals battered Pittsburgh’s beleaguered pitching staff. He had three hits and three RBIs, and the Nats won for the 12th time in 14 meetings against Atlanta this season. He threw 66 of his 105 pitches for strikes but was an out away from turning in his 17th quality start, a lot of them in a Padres uniform.
